ASGC, the largest construction firm headquartered in Dubai, UAE, has confirmed that it will buy a 15 percent interest in Costain, the UK-based construction company, as part of Costain’s $100 m cash-raising equity issue.
ASGC also entered into a contractual contract to buy 41,666,666 new ordinary shares at a price of £25 million, in which it would retain 15.2% of Costain’s expanded share value.
Bishoy Azmy, Chief Executive Officer of ASGC, said: “We are also trying to diversify our priorities and see long-term, sustainable development prospects in UK infrastructure. We see this change as a way to profit from the anticipated growth in UK capital investment and conclude that Costain should be well placed to take advantage of it.
In a released quotation1, Alex Vaughan, CEO Costain, said: “We are delighted to have received substantial funding from creditors for this fundraising. With a strengthened balance sheet and an optimistic long-term view for UK infrastructure, Costain would be best positioned to take advantage of the considerable growth opportunities that lie ahead of us.”
