Four deals top USD 1,300 million this month
A total of seven deals involving private equity surpassed USD 1,000 million, and four of these were above the USD 1,300 million-mark. Highest among them was UK buyout firm Terra Firma Capital Partners’ purchase of care home group Four Seasons Health Care, which had a price tag of USD 1,342 million. Qatar Holdings’ acquisition of hotel chain Smeralda came in second with a value of USD 1,307 million, and the Gulf state investor – a subsidiary of sovereign wealth fund Qatar Investment Authority – figured in the top 25 deals again with an investment in commodities giant Xstrata worth USD 712 million, making it the top private equity company in the period.
US top in value and volume
Despite having the highest-value deal in the period, the UK only managed second place in the value rankings with USD 4,177, down 21 per cent on the USD 5,304 million of deal making last month. The US came ahead of the UK in value with USD 7,444 million, an improvement on last month’s figure of USD 6,938 million, and accounted for 40 per cent of the total private equity value in April.
In volume it was also ahead with 118 transactions recorded, again an improvement on last month’s 98, and the highest since September 2011. This put the US way ahead of France, which came in second with 34 deals, and the UK was third with 31.
