EU’s Macquarie fund buys Inea

EU's Macquarie European Infrastructure Fund 5 (MEIF 5) has acquired a majority stake in cable operator Inea. The size of the stake was not revealed, but the fund will acquire shares from equity fund Warburg Pincus, Inea’s owner Janusz Kosiński and other minority shareholders. Inea operates in Wielkopolska voivodship and covers 40 percent of households in the region. The fund expects to close the transaction by end-February 2018, pending antimonopoly watchdog UOKiK approval. The purchase of Inea will be the second direct investment of MIRA in Poland after the deepwater container terminal DCT Gdańsk, which was built in 2005
