Adamantem Reportedly Looks to Offload Two Businesses Adamantem Capital is understood to be in divestment mode, with the buyout fund hiring investment banks for the sale of at least two of its businesses. The private equity firm founded by former Pacific Equity Partners operatives is understood to have hired investment UBS to revive the sale process for its New Zealand smallgoods business Hellers Limited. Meanwhile, Adamantem Capital - as well as Downer EDI Limited (ASX:DOW) - are selling their laundries business, Linen Services Australia, DataRoom understands. Lazard is understood to be working to find a buyer of 100% of the business, once known as Spotless Laundries, and the understanding is that two of the industry heavyweights based in France are within its sights. This includes Elis, which has looked at Spotless before. Adamantem paid $155 million for a 70% stake in the business when it was up for sale by Downer, which had been keen to sell the entire company, which former Downer boss Grant Fenn considered capital intensive. Hellers has been up for sale before through investment bank Credit Suisse, which UBS now owns. The sale could be a challenging assignment, with industry heavyweight JBS operating as the other major smallgoods operator across the Tasman. Annuncio • May 09

Downer Reportedly Step Closer to Repurpose It Sell-Off The sale of Downer EDI Limited (ASX:DOW)'s Repurpose It Pty Ltd. business is closer to reaching a conclusion, with the process heading towards the phase where a preferred buyer is selected. Downer Chief Executive Officer Peter Tompkins told the Macquarie Australia Conference on May 2, 2023 that the company had been exploring asset sales where the value of those assets were not reflected in the company's share price. The sale of Repurpose IT was in the second phase, he said, and the group was moving towards selecting a preferred buyer. DataRoom revealed that Pacific Equity Partners has been among the partners weighing a purchase of Repurpose IT after Downer had confirmed that the 45% of the business it owns was for sale. Barrenjoey is working on the divestment. Cleanaway Waste Management Limited (ASX:CWY) Chief Executive Officer Mark Schubert is understood to have passed on the opportunity to buy Repurpose IT because the company believes its waste management company has the ability to replicate the business itself. Cleanaway was understood to have taken an initial look at Downer's Repurpose IT unit but was concerned its strong margins would not be sustainable in the long term, company sources said. This was with other competitors entering the market. Yet those close to the deal say that Repurpose IT has highly strategic sites and replicating the operation would take time for any group and would be challenging. Downer had been progressively selling off non-core assets. Recent Insider Transactions • Mar 22
