CapMan Infra announces first close of Nordic Infrastructure III fund

CapMan Nordic Infrastructure III, the third vehicle in CapMan Infra’s Nordic infrastructure fund series, held its first close on 24 June 2026. The Fund has a target size of EUR 750 million and is on track to reach a final close during 2027, supported by existing and new investors, both from within and outside the Nordics.

The strategy of CapMan Nordic Infrastructure III is to invest in lower mid-cap infrastructure businesses and assets across the Nordics, focusing on energy and utilities, transportation, and digital infrastructure. Classified as an SFDR Article 8 product, the Fund targets infrastructure assets that provide essential services and benefit from long-term structural trends, including the energy transition, digitalisation and the need for more resilient societies.

With a target size of EUR 750 million, the Fund is set to be CapMan Infra’s largest infrastructure fund to date and twice the size of its predecessor, CapMan Nordic Infrastructure II, which closed at EUR 375 million.

The Fund’s first close was supported by more than 20 institutional investors, with around one third of commitments coming from outside the Nordics. This share is expected to increase significantly in later closings as international investor interest towards a Nordic infrastructure strategy executed by an experienced local team remains high. Around two thirds of commitments are coming from German and Finnish pension institutions.

Several first closing investors have also reserved capacity for further commitments as fundraising progresses, providing positive momentum towards the Fund’s final close. With a strong pipeline of opportunities across its target sectors, the Fund is well positioned to make its first investments during 2026.

“CapMan Nordic Infrastructure III builds on our established Nordic infrastructure fund series. We are pleased by the support from both existing and new investors at the first close and are confident in the Fund’s progress towards a final close at its target size. The Nordic infrastructure market continues to offer attractive opportunities that benefit from structural trends, and the Fund is well positioned to deploy capital during 2026,” says Ville Poukka, Managing Partner at CapMan Infra.

Keyera Announces Acquisition of Remaining 50% Interest in KAPS

Stonepeak
  • On strategy transaction generates strong free cash flow1 and is accretive to distributable cash flow per share1
  • Accelerates fee-based adjusted EBITDA per share1 growth outlook
  • Enhances quality and durability of growing cash flow well into the next decade
  • Preserves strength and flexibility of balance sheet

CALGARY, AB, June 17, 2026 /CNW/ – Keyera Corp. (TSX: KEY) (“Keyera” or the “company”) today announced closing of the acquisition of the remaining 50% non-operating interest in the KAPS Pipeline from Stonepeak, a leading alternative investment firm specializing in infrastructure and real assets, for $1.215 billion, pursuant to the terms of a definitive agreement dated June 17, 2026. The transaction was closed concurrent with the announcement.

Keyera now owns and will continue to operate 100% of the KAPS Pipeline, a highly strategic natural gas liquids (“NGL”) pipeline system connecting growing condensate and NGL production from the Montney and Duvernay resource plays to high-value downstream markets. Since 2025, Keyera has added over 120,000 barrels per day of new commitments across KAPS Zones 1 to 4 from high quality counterparties supporting stable, long-term fee-based cash flow1 growth. KAPS Zone 4 construction continues to be on time and on budget with an expected mid-2027 in-service date.

“This transaction is directly aligned with our strategy to enhance and extend our integrated value chain and deliver competitive services that help our customers maximize value for their products,” said Dean Setoguchi, President and Chief Executive Officer of Keyera. “Full ownership of KAPS provides greater flexibility and efficiency for our customers while enhancing Keyera’s exposure to long-term growth and highly contracted cash flows.”

Transaction Highlights

  • Greater flexibility and efficiency for customers: Full ownership of KAPS allows customers to more efficiently connect growing Montney and Duvernay production to high-value downstream markets.
  • Accretive to distributable cash flow (“DCF”) per share: The acquisition is expected to be low-single digit accretive to distributable cash flow per share over the next several years. Following the completion and ramp-up of Zone 4 through 2030, KAPS is expected to generate significant free cash flow1, supported by contracted volume growth, minimal maintenance capital requirements and tax efficiencies achieved through the transaction. Including the remaining capital required to complete Zone 4, the transaction implies an acquisition multiple of approximately 11 times 2029 EBITDA1 based on currently contracted volumes, and does not reflect upside from future contracting opportunities.
  • Improved growth outlook: The transaction increases Keyera’s targeted fee-based adjusted EBITDA per share1 CAGR from 15% to 17% to 16% to 18% between 2025 and 2027. Keyera’s targeted 7% to 8% fee-based adjusted EBITDA per share1 CAGR from 2027 to 2029 remains unchanged and is supported by an even stronger foundation for growth.
  • Enhanced quality and durability of Keyera cash flows: KAPS is supported by long-term contracts and stable fee-based1 cash flows, further improving the quality, visibility, and durability of Keyera’s overall cash flow profile. Fee-based cash flows are underpinned by contracts with an average remaining term of approximately 12 years and 75% take-or-pay contributions.
  • Preserves Keyera’s financial strength: The financing plan is structured to preserve Keyera’s strong balance sheet and investment grade credit profile, with net debt to adjusted EBITDA1 expected to be within the company’s target range of 2.5x to 3.0x in 2028. Following closing, Keyera expects approximately $100 million of incremental 2026 growth capital, relative to its previously disclosed 2026 growth capital guidance of $550 million to $625 million, related to funding Keyera’s increased share of the remaining capital to complete Zone 4.

RBC Capital Markets acted as financial advisor to Keyera on the transaction. Norton Rose Fulbright Canada LLP and McCarthy Tétrault LLP are acting as legal advisor to Keyera.

Scotia Capital Inc. acted as financial advisor to Stonepeak on the transaction. Sidley Austin LLP, Stikeman Elliott LLP, and Goodmans LLP are acting as legal advisor to Stonepeak.

Acquisition Financing

The acquisition financing plan is designed to preserve balance sheet strength and financial flexibility.

As part of the financing plan, Keyera has entered into an agreement to issue $525 million of common equity through a bought deal offering, before the exercise of any over-allotment option, which is being announced separately (the “Equity Financing”).

The purchase price was funded through borrowings made under certain existing credit facilities of Keyera Partnership. All or a portion of the outstanding borrowings under such existing credit facility are expected to be repaid with proceeds of the Equity Financing and through a future debt financing.

CapMan Infra invests in Hansabuss to support the development of public transportation in the Baltics

CapMan Nordic Infrastructure II fund has agreed to acquire Hansabuss, the largest private bus operator in public lines in the Baltics, from Hansa Group. The investment is aligned with CapMan Infra’s strategy to strengthen essential public transportation infrastructure across Northern Europe.

Founded in 1995, Hansabuss has developed into a leading Baltic transportation company with a strong position in public transportation, charter services and other regular transportation for public sector clients and corporations. The company operates across Estonia and Latvia and has a track record of profitable growth driven by successful tender performance and market consolidation. The company is well positioned to benefit from the long-term market liberalisation trend in the Baltic public transportation sector, including green transition requirements in tenders such as low-emission and electric fleets.

CapMan Infra’s investment will support Hansabuss in its next phase of growth. As the new owner, CapMan Infra will provide strong financial backing to drive low emission and electric fleet investments, operational development, further strengthening the company’s competitiveness and growth prospects.

“We are proud to invest in a company with a strong heritage and culture, as well as an important role in public transportation in Estonia and Latvia. Hansabuss is well positioned to continue developing its operations and strengthening its market position. We look forward to supporting the company together with its management and employees in the next phase of growth,” says Eero Hautaniemi, Partner at CapMan Infra.

The CapMan Infra team has significant experience in the public transportation sector through its investments in Finland’s largest bus transportation company Koiviston Auto and Norwegian ferry operator Norled. In both investments, fleet investments supporting the green transition, tendering capabilities, and operational development have been central to value creation.

“Having successfully built Hansabuss into the largest privately owned bus transport company in public lines in the Baltics over the last three decades, the time was right for Hansa Grupp to pursue this transaction and find a strong and experienced new owner for our bus transport activities as we focus on our other existing business activities in the Baltics and internationally,” says Neeme Tammis, Founder of Hansa Group.

“CapMan Infra as the new owner of Hansabuss will bring valuable international experience and industry expertise that will strengthen our current operations and future developments. We will be better positioned to serve our customers, pursue additional growth opportunities and strengthen our market position in the Baltics,” says Indrek Halliste, CEO at Hansabuss.

All current employees of Hansabuss will remain in their current positions following the acquisition. The transaction will have no impact on Hansabuss’ existing customers or services.

The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and merger control clearance in Estonia.

KKR Launches Helix Digital Infrastructure, a New Company to Finance and Deliver the Next Generation of AI Infrastructure

KKR

Helix launches with over $10 billion of committed capital to accelerate the deployment of data centers, power and connectivity required to meet growing demand for AI

Kuwait Investment Authority, NVIDIA and Vistra join KKR as founding investors; NVIDIA to serve as a cornerstone strategic partner, Vistra as the preferred power partner to Helix

Former Amazon Web Services CEO Adam Selipsky leads new company

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)– KKR, together with the Kuwait Investment Authority (KIA), NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Vistra (NYSE: VST) today announced the launch of Helix Digital Infrastructure (“Helix”), a new company designed to deliver integrated infrastructure at the speed and scale required for hyperscalers to meet accelerating artificial intelligence (AI) demand. As building AI infrastructure becomes increasingly complex, Helix will serve as a single coordination point for hyperscalers’ data centers, power, connectivity and related needs.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260610500794/en/

Founded with anchor investments from investors including KKR, KIA, NVIDIA and Vistra, the Helix strategy has more than $10 billion in total long-duration capital commitments to date. NVIDIA will also serve as a strategic partner to support the deployment of NVIDIA DSX AI factory-aligned infrastructure with a view to maximizing tokens per watt, achieving lowest total cost of ownership and accelerating time to first token for investments pursued by Helix. Vistra, a leading integrated power generation and electricity company with operations across 18 states and Washington, D.C., will be the preferred power provider for Helix investments. Following the closing of the founding commitments, Helix is open to additional eligible institutional investors.

AI is driving the largest infrastructure buildout in modern history, requiring trillions of dollars in investment across data centers, power generation and transmission, connectivity and related infrastructure over the coming decade. The scale and complexity of financing and coordinating this buildout represents a key industry bottleneck, ultimately slowing hyperscalers from delivering the models, services and applications their customers demand. Delivering AI infrastructure requires credible, long-term financial underwriters capable of committing capital consistently. Hyperscalers are also seeking more integrated and repeatable infrastructure solutions that meaningfully reduce the complexity they face in building at unprecedented scale.

KKR launched Helix in response to these challenges. Helix will be positioned as a single, trusted strategic partner to hyperscalers, armed with a long-duration, multi-billion-dollar capital base, and with integrated development capabilities and coordinated execution across AI infrastructure. The company is led by Adam Selipsky, former CEO of Amazon Web Services, who brings first-hand experience scaling the world’s largest cloud business, and deep insight into hyperscaler infrastructure priorities. He is joined by a dedicated management team and Board. Waldemar Szlezak, KKR’s Global Head of Digital Infrastructure, will serve as Helix’s Chief Investment Officer. Helix will seek to invest in and manage assets critical to enabling AI, including hyperscale data center development and operations; baseload and flexible power generation; transmission and distribution infrastructure; and fiber and connectivity infrastructure, among other assets.

“Large users of digital infrastructure have an urgent need to reduce complexity and unlock new capacity. Helix combines significant long-term capital with the capabilities and expertise to deliver holistic AI infrastructure solutions with speed and scale,” said Adam Selipsky, Co-Founder and CEO of Helix Digital Infrastructure. “Helix is further strengthened by strategic partnerships with NVIDIA and Vistra across technology and power, which we believe will enable the company to deliver the infrastructure that will underpin hyperscalers’ AI strategies for years to come.”

“We view AI infrastructure as one of the defining long-term investment opportunities globally, and Helix is purpose-built to address it,” said Sheikh Saoud Salem Abdulaziz Al-Sabah, Managing Director of the Kuwait Investment Authority. “Helix reflects a differentiated model that combines proven leadership, integrated capabilities and long-term capital required to deliver the next generation of critical digital infrastructure at scale.”

“Useful AI has arrived, and demand for AI factories is extraordinary,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “AI is driving the largest infrastructure buildout in modern history. With the NVIDIA DSX platform and the Helix strategic partnership, we are bringing together a proven AI factory blueprint, world-class infrastructure expertise from KKR, and long-term capital to help AI cloud providers build the next generation of intelligence infrastructure.”

“Power generation and grid interconnections are critical gating factors for AI infrastructure deployments,” said Jim Burke, president and CEO of Vistra. “Helix brings together data center development, infrastructure and power capabilities under a single umbrella, providing a one-stop shop for large load customers. By utilizing Vistra’s existing fleet to deliver near-term power, Helix will accelerate delivery of power solutions through the use of existing assets while also bringing additionality with Vistra’s best-in-class capabilities, including power generation development and power grid expertise. Vistra has a proven track record in executing more than 5,000 megawatts of power purchase agreements with hyperscalers and looks forward to leveraging our leading and diverse generation fleet and operational expertise as Helix’s preferred power partner to help deliver the reliable, affordable energy these customers require.”

“Like a DNA helix, Helix Digital Infrastructure is built on a double strand of complementary strengths—KKR’s institutional capital and infrastructure expertise intertwined with Helix’s hyperscaler leadership and execution engine. Together, with our strategic partners, we are positioned to meet the financial and operational demands of the AI era,” said Joe Bae and Scott Nuttall, Co-Chief Executive Officers, KKR.

Helix is supported by KKR’s leading global infrastructure platform, which includes over $100 billion in infrastructure assets under management and more than $70 billion invested across digital and power assets. KKR’s experience across data centers, renewable and conventional power generation and transmission, fiber and related sectors provides the foundation for Helix’s integrated model. KKR’s anchor investment in the Helix strategy is funded through its balance sheet and other managed vehicles.

Ardian and Verne announce digital infrastructure hub in Île-de-France to support European industrial capabilities at Choose France

Ardian

New campus with target capacity of 500 MW to accelerate development of Europe’s large-scale sovereign computing and AI capabilities representing an investment of up to €5bn
• Ardian and Verne combine investment capabilities, expertise in strategic infrastructure, and recognized know-how in low-carbon computing power to develop a leading European campus
• In close collaboration with local stakeholders the hub has been designed as a unique hub gathering an ecosystem of leading industrial, energy, technology, and academic partners fostering strategic infrastructure for European digital and industrial sovereignty

Ardian, a global private investment firm, and its portfolio company Verne, a leading European platform in low-carbon and high-performance computing infrastructure, announce at the Choose France conference their plans to develop a next-generation digital infrastructure campus in the Île-de-France region.

AI hub to support European sovereignty
Designed as a unique visionary campus, the project aims to provide France and Europe more widely with low-carbon industrial computing resources to support the growth of artificial intelligence.
The large-scale platform, located within one of France’s largest industrial hubs, will house a data center dedicated to notably high-performance computing (HPC), AI model training, and advanced industrial applications. The project represents an investment of up to EUR 5 billion, with a target capacity of 500 MW including an initial phase of approximately 200+ MW by 2030.
The hub will rely on France’s high-capacity energy infrastructure, powered by low-carbon electricity in close collaboration with RTE and the EDF Group.
The hub will be part of the sites supporting the AION consortium’s bid for a French Gigafactory as part of the European Union’s AI Gigafactories initiative.

French campus at the heart of a leading industrial ecosystem
The hub will cover the entire AI value chain, from computing power to industrial applications such as research, healthcare, finance, and energy. Verne will draw on its experience in low-carbon data centers in Northern Europe to design and operate a high-performance platform tailored to the most demanding environmental requirements.
The site will be developed in close collaboration with government agencies, the region, local public entities, and major French industrial and financial groups, including the Bouygues Group and Crédit Agricole. The platform also aims to secure major technological, industrial, and academic partners as part of its rollout phase.
Ardian and Verne intend to build an ecosystem that brings together infrastructure operators, energy companies, digital technology firms, research centers, and higher education institutions to develop expertise and accelerate innovation in AI. Hundreds of direct and indirect jobs will be created across the entire value chain, from construction to operations.

Ardian’s integrated infrastructure strategy in action
Ardian’s infrastructure strategy invests in verticals that form the backbone of Europe’s economy, including digital infrastructure, energy and transport.
A dual commitment to digital and energy infrastructure underscores Ardian’s vision that the sustainable scaling of high-performance computing can only be achieved through a coordinated and global approach that aligns growth in computing demand with clean and reliable energy generation at scale. Through other Ardian controlled French platforms in its portfolio, including Akuo (a global renewable energy player) and GreenYellow (a French pioneer in decentralized renewable energy and energy efficiency solutions), Ardian is separately investing up to €3 billion in new French energy infrastructure, representing 2.5 GW of renewable energy capacity in the grid by 2030.

“Ardian’s strategy of investing in both essential digital and energy infrastructure is aligned with the European needs to strengthen its strategic capabilities and accelerate its progress toward digital sovereignty. It perfectly demonstrates Ardian visionary approach by committing simultaneously €3bn in new renewable energy investment in France representing the same baseload consumption of new digital infrastructure development. By bringing together our industrial and financial knowledge with an ecosystem of leading French industrial partners, our ambition is to build a benchmark platform in the Île-de-France region gathering digital, industrial and research serving Europe.” Mathias Burghardt, Executive President of Ardian and CEO of Ardian France

“This project marks a strategic milestone in Verne’s development as a leading European platform for digital infrastructure dedicated to artificial intelligence and high-performance computing. It illustrates our ambition to establish infrastructure in France capable of meeting the needs of major European industrial and technology players. We are building competitive and sustainable European AI backbone of our economy.” Dominic Ward and Roland Chedvili, CEO of Verne and Managing Director of Verne France

BIG Fiber Secures $250 Million Financing Led by Stonepeak Credit and La Caisse to Accelerate Digital Infrastructure Expansion

LaCaisse
Investment Fuels Expansion, Boosting Total Assets to over 800 Route Miles

BIG Fiber, a leading provider of high-capacity dark fiber infrastructure, announced the closing of a $250 million debt facility with an additional $100 million accordion feature. The financing, led by Stonepeak Credit and La Caisse (formerly CDPQ), provides BIG Fiber with significant capital to accelerate the expansion of its core markets and reinforce its position as the premier provider of mission-critical digital infrastructure in the U.S.

The new credit facility follows BIG Fiber’s 2024 milestone, the first-ever green loan in the dark fiber sector, and marks a significant scaling of the company’s financial capacity. Backed by sponsors Columbia Capital and SDC Capital Partners, the expansion of BIG Fiber’s debt facility and the infusion of new capital ensure the company remains well-positioned to meet the escalating infrastructure demands of the AI era.

Proceeds of the facility will be used to refinance existing debt, provide new capital and facilitate the necessary headroom for major network expansions already underway. This includes a significant multi-market buildout in Greater Atlanta, adding over 205 route miles and 165,000 fiber miles to BIG Fiber’s existing market-leading footprint.

“Our partnership with Stonepeak Credit and La Caisse marks a pivotal moment in our mission to empower our customers with highly-scalable and purpose-built dark fiber solutions,” said Bruce Garrison, CEO of BIG Fiber. “This financing ensures we have the scale to stay ahead of the escalating demand for modernized infrastructure enabling the AI ecosystem and the necessary digital highways for decades to come.”

“BIG Fiber’s infrastructure delivers critical bandwidth to meet the insatiable demand for both data and compute capacity across its key markets,” said Arun Varanasi, Managing Director at Stonepeak Credit. “We are proud to partner with Columbia Capital, SDC Capital Partners, and La Caisse to support the Company’s next leg of growth as it positions itself as one of the preeminent dark fiber operators in the country.”

“BIG Fiber is well positioned to meet the growing connectivity needs of enterprises and data centers seeking new, high quality infrastructure options,” said Jérôme Marquis, Managing Director and Head of Private Credit at La Caisse. “Its resilient business model, underpinned by long term contracts and strong structural demand, positions the company well for growth.

La Caisse and Grupo Energía Bogotá to establish Brazil’s 5th largest power transmission platform

LaCaisse
The partners will co-control the joint venture on a 50/50 basis under the Verene name

Global investment group La Caisse, and Grupo Energía Bogotá (“GEB”), a leading Latin American energy infrastructure group, today announced that they have entered into a final agreement to create a jointly controlled, 50/50 power transmission platform in Brazil, bringing together their respective transmission assets in the country under a single joint venture which will retain the name Verene Energia S.A. (“Verene”).

The combined platform will comprise 26 electric transmission concession agreements, more than 9,000 km of transmission lines, and over 400 employees, with operations spanning 17 Brazilian states. With this scale, Verene will rank among the top five power transmission players in Brazil.

Verene will continue to operate as the reference platform for the combined portfolio and will be positioned to pursue disciplined growth opportunities in Brazil’s transmission market, including the optimization and expansion of existing networks and potential acquisitions, in line with Brazil’s broader grid modernization and decarbonization objectives.

Juan Ricardo Ortega, President at GEB, said:
“Our partnership with La Caisse marks a significant milestone in our long-term strategy for Brazil. By combining our operational expertise and regional market knowledge with the financial strength and global perspective of our partner, we are creating a platform positioned to accelerate growth, expand transmission energy infrastructure, and support Brazil’s energy transition. We believe this alliance will generate sustainable value for our stakeholders and contribute to Brazil’s economic and energy development.”

Emmanuel Jaclot, Executive Vice-President and Head of Infrastructure and Sustainability at La Caisse, said:
“By bringing together highly complementary assets under one banner, the partnership establishes Verene as a scaled, business-driven platform with strong financial backing. GEB brings more than 130 years of operating heritage and ranks among Latin America’s leading energy infrastructure groups, with deep expertise across the region’s transmission sector. Together, we share a vision to strengthen Verene’s footprint in Brazil through value-creating acquisitions and continued support for the country’s energy transition.”

Financial close is expected by Q4 2026, subject to customary closing conditions and relevant consents and approval.

La Caisse was advised by BTG Pactual as financial advisor and Pinheiro Neto Advogados as legal advisor. GEB was advised by Citibank as financial advisor and Mayer Brown as legal advisor.

CarbonCount Holdings 1 LLC to Issue $508 Million of 20-Year Fixed Rate Senior Unsecured Notes

KKR

ANNAPOLIS, Md. & NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–HA Sustainable Infrastructure Capital, Inc. (“HASI”) (NYSE: HASI), a leading investor in sustainable infrastructure assets, and KKR, a leading global investment firm, today announced that CarbonCount Holdings 1 LLC (“CCH1”), a co-investment vehicle between HASI and KKR, has issued $508 million in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes (the “Notes”) in a private offering. The fixed-rate amortizing notes will have a 20-year final maturity. The Notes were priced at a weighted average coupon of 6.29%. These Notes represent the second issuance of senior notes by CCH1, following its inaugural issuance in June 2025, which priced at a weighted-average coupon of 6.76%.

“We are excited to further expand the investment capacity of CCH1 to support the strong growth in investment activity we are experiencing and continue to enhance our capital efficiency,” said HASI Senior Managing Director of Syndications Dan McMahon. “Moreover, five new institutional investors participated in the offering, and spreads improved by more than 30 basis points, compared to the first issuance last year, reflecting how the quality of our underlying assets is translating into a lower cost of capital.”

“The strong investor reception of CCH1’s second issuance reflects the quality and diversity of the underlying asset base,” said Cecilio Velasco, Managing Director, KKR. “With more than $4 billion of investment capacity at CCH1, we are well-positioned to continue collaborating with HASI to deliver sustainable, reliable, and affordable energy infrastructure to meet the significant demand we see across the U.S.”

After deducting the estimated offering expenses, the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes are expected to be approximately $503 million. CCH1 intends to utilize the net proceeds to acquire, or invest in, new and/or existing sustainable infrastructure projects, in whole or in part.

Formed in May 2024 as a strategic partnership between HASI and KKR to invest in clean energy projects across the United States, CCH1 was established with an initial capital commitment of up to $2 billion over an 18-month period, and in December 2025, HASI and KKR each agreed to upsize their combined commitment to $3 billion, with each party committing an additional $500 million, and extend the investment period to the earlier of the end of 2027 or when all commitments have been utilized. With this transaction, CCH1’s investment capacity has been increased to more than $4 billion, and both parties continue to expect total investment capacity to reach nearly $5 billion based on the existing leverage targets.

Morgan Stanley and HASI Securities served as Joint Lead Placement Agents on the transaction.

The Notes were offered only to persons reasonably believed to be institutional accredited investors as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3), (7), or (9) under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) that are also “qualified purchasers” within the meaning of Section (2)(a)(51)(A) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Notes have not been, and are not required to be, registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or any state securities laws.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, these securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.

CapMan Infra sells its stake in Finland’s leading fiber-to-the-home company Valokuitunen to Brookfield Infrastructure Structured Solutions and Telia

CapMan Infra sells its stake in Finland’s leading fiber-to-the-home company Valokuitunen to Brookfield Infrastructure Structured Solutions and Telia

CapMan Infra has entered into an agreement to sell its 60 percent stake in Valokuitunen Oy, Finland’s largest independent fiber-to-the-home (“FTTH”) network company, to Brookfield Infrastructure Structured Solutions and Telia, who together will assume full ownership of the business.

CapMan Nordic Infrastructure I (“CMNI I”) established Valokuitunen with Telia in April 2020 to accelerate the roll-out of high-quality FTTH connectivity in Finland. Since then, Valokuitunen has expanded rapidly to become the leading passive FTTH networks builder and owner in the country, enabling reliable high-speed fiber access to households nationwide. The business operates an open-access network model which today offers services via multiple service providers and continues to expand its coverage of over 400 000 households across Finland.

During CapMan Infra’s ownership, Valokuitunen has made significant progress in strengthening its operational capabilities through industry-leading construction and sales agreements, improving customer experience by building a high-quality open access platform, and creating a nationwide FTTH network supported by a market-leading brand. These actions have supported strong financial performance and positioned the company as a key enabler of Finland’s long‑term digital infrastructure development.

“Valokuitunen has successfully grown into Finland’s leading fiber‑to‑the‑home infrastructure platform,” says Harri Halonen, Partner at CapMan Infra. “Together with Telia and Valokuitunen’s management team, we have built a strong organisation, with industry-leading commercial and operational capabilities, and significantly expanded the network to both create and meet increasing fiber demand across the country. We are extremely grateful for the great cooperation with Telia and the management team. Under Brookfield and Telia’s ownership, the company is exceptionally well positioned for its next phase of growth.”

“CapMan Infra, together with Telia, built a strong foundation for Valokuitunen, enabling the company to grow and rise to become the market leader in Finland’s FTTH sector,” says Heikki Kaunisto, Valokuitunen’s CEO. “This transaction demonstrates that CapMan’s clear vision of the opportunities in the Finnish fiber market, along with the strategic partnership built with Telia, was key to success.”

“Starting with just 20,000 households, Valokuitunen has built both a nationwide fiber network and a market-leading position in only a few years,” says Patrik Hofbauer, Telia Company’s President and CEO. “Increasing Telia’s ownership is in line with our strategy to invest in our core, and shows our long-term commitment to taking Finland’s world-class digital infrastructure to the next level. We look forward to working with Brookfield, whom we know well from our successful Telia Towers partnership, and Valokuitunen’s dedicated management team to realise our high ambitions.”

The transaction is expected to close during the second quarter of 2026.

CapMan Natural Capital completes divestment of Baltic forest portfolio to Inter IKEA and continues with new European Forest Fund IV

CapMan Natural Capital completes divestment of Baltic forest portfolio to Inter IKEA and continues with new European Forest Fund IV

CapMan Natural Capital has completed the sale of approximately 24,000 hectares of forest assets in Latvia and Lithuania from Dasos Timberland Fund II to Inter IKEA Group following the transaction announced on 3 December.

The divested assets have undergone more than a decade of active and sustainability‑driven forest management. During the ownership period, CapMan Natural Capital implemented operational improvements, secured FSC® certifications across the portfolio and enhanced commercial value through long-term wood supply agreements and opportunities related to renewable energy.

“We are pleased that the process with Inter IKEA Group was smooth, professional and concluded quickly,” says Sami Veijalainen, Partner at CapMan Natural Capital. “Following the successful execution of the assets’ value creation strategies, we are happy to return funds to our investors in line with the Fund’s target returns.”

As CapMan Natural Capital exits these assets, the team continues in the Baltic region through its fourth main fund, the CapMan Dasos European Forest Fund IV, which held its first close in December. The close of the Inter IKEA Group transaction coincides with the beginning of a new investment cycle for the team, allowing CapMan Natural Capital to continue its long-term strategic presence in Latvia and Lithuania and maintain its role as a major independent forest owner in Europe.

“With Dasos Fund IV now launched, we are well positioned to continue our work in these regions,” says Jyri Hietala, Managing Partner at CapMan Natural Capital. “The close of the previous fund’s assets supports the natural progression into a new investment cycle, where we aim to deploy capital in high-quality forests that offer both long-term value creation and tangible natural capital outcomes.”
