Project Description
The client is currently one of the largest water utilities in the world providing water and sewage services to 26.7 million residential, commercial and industrial users in numerous municipalities in Brazil, including the city of Sao Paulo. The client is transitioning out of a difficult period that included an acute drought and a macroeconomic crisis and given these market conditions, the client has been in search of new funding sources.
IFC will provide sell side advisory services to the client which include the following activities: assist the client to identify, market to, shortlist and engage with investors or strategic partners; support valuation, negotiations and transaction execution, including facilitation of investors due diligence up to deal closure; assist the client to define the new governance structure for the SPV resulting from the transaction between the client and buyers.
