Global law firm White & Case LLP has advised SPIE on the sale of SPIE UK to Imtech, a technical services group jointly owned by Dalkia and EDF Energy.
Listed on the regulated market of Euronext Paris, SPIE is an independent European provider of multi-technical services in the areas of energy and communications. SPIE UK has approximately 1,800 employees and generated approximately £200 million in revenue in 2021. The closing of the transaction is expected before the end of 2022, subject to the fulfillment of customary regulatory approvals.
White & Case also advised SPIE on the sustainability-linked refinancing of its €1.2 billion syndicated loan. The margin incentive mechanism is based on four ESG KPIs set out by the group in its 2025 ESG targets: direct GHG emissions, suppliers' GHG emissions, green share of revenue (Taxonomy) and gender diversity. In the process of the refinancing, SPIE also completed a Sustainability-Linked Financing Framework to embed its ESG strategy and commitments in its future refinancings.
White & Case previously advised SPIE on the sale of SPIE UK's mobile maintenance activities in 2020.
