MADRID, Oct 10 (Reuters) - Spain's FCC has
agreed to sell a 25% stake in its environmental subsidiary FCC
Enviro to Canadian pension fund CPP Investments for 1 billion
euros ($1.16 billion), it said late on Thursday.
Following the deal, the construction and infrastructure
company FCC, majority-owned by Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim,
will retain a 50.01% stake in its subsidiary, while CPP will
increase its stake to 49.99%, the company added.
In a statement, FCC said it intended to use the proceeds to
address strategic opportunities and corporate needs.
FCC Enviro and its domestic and international subsidiaries
carry out environmental services activities through four main
platforms.
The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals.
In 2023, FCC sold around a quarter of its environmental
subsidiary to CPP for 965 million euros.
