Bahrain's Investcorp says to buy 3i's debt-management business
DUBAI (Reuters) - Bahrain-based private equity investor Investcorp (INVB.BH) has agreed to acquire the debt-management business of Britain's 3i (III.L) for 222 million pounds, it said on Tuesday.
The proposed transaction will add $12 billion to Investcorp's assets under management (AUM), bringing the Bahraini company's total AUM to $23 billion, and will be fully funded by the company's existing balance sheet.
Investcorp said it does not plan to seek debt capital or further equity investment for the transaction.
