Meridiam - Minority Stake Deal
Campbell Lutyens acted as exclusive financial advisor to Meridiam, facilitating its minority stake deal with Samsung Life Insurance.
Meridiam is a leading, independently-owned, B-Corp certified, specialist manager in sustainable infrastructure globally, managing US$20bn of assets and more than 100 projects to date.
Samsung Life’s 20% minority investment into Meridiam’s management company will allow Meridiam to accelerate its next phase of growth.
Campbell Lutyens played a key role in facilitating this minority investment, identifying potential investors including GP stake specialists and strategic LP investors, and by running a multi-stage sell-side auction process with end-to-end advisory. Campbell Lutyens has a long-term relationship with Meridiam, having worked in partnership since the launch of Meridiam’s first fund in 2005.
Finding an investor aligned on both sustainability values and responsible, long-term business approach was of paramount importance for Meridiam. This was front of mind for us when selecting investors for the auction process."
