DataRoom can reveal that New York-based private equity powerhouse KKR & Co. Inc. (NYSE:KKR) has been considering a buyout of the entire company in recent months, as investment bank Jarden runs a process to sell a 50% stake in its data centres, with the half share valued at about NZD 400 million ($370 million). Spark, which was spawned out of government-owned entity Telecom, is New Zealand's version of Telstra - the nation's dominant telecommunications provider. First-round offers for the data centres were due last week, and infrastructure funds are conspicuously missing from the auction. But all the focus now from market insiders is on the parties considering a buyout proposal for Spark and whether a bid in fact eventuates. It is understood that there has been at least one private equity firm circling. Another logical suitor would be Swedish private equity firm EQT. Big infrastructure funds are not looking at the centres, sources say. Sources say data centre operator Next DC is taking a look, as is Global Data Centre Group.공시 • May 20Spark of Interest as Private Equity Reportedly Looks At BuyoutThe $3.7 billion Australia and New Zealand listed telecoms company Spark New Zealand Limited (NZSE:SPK) is understood to have at least two private equity firms running the ruler over the business for a buyout proposal. It comes as the group has an auction afoot through Jarden for its data centre assets, with hopes that they may fetch a price of about $800 million. DataRoom understands that buyout funds with expertise in telecommunication businesses are doing work on whether to make an offer for the largest telco across the Tasman that was previously owned by the New Zealand government. Funds that have experience running telcos abroad and previously bid for Australian telco Vocus when it was listed included Kohlberg Kravis Roberts and EQT, along with private equity firm Affinity. Brookfield is not a contender, but BGH Capital may be looking, along with TPG Capital, although some observers believe the business would be too operational for those parties. Well-connected sources believe any suitor would likely take the view that a deal could stack up at NZD 2.50, but not at NZD 3, so that means its share price would need to fall below NZD 2 - it's currently trading around NZD 2.18, or $2 in Australia. Yet Spark remains under pressure with large levels of debt (net debt was at almost NZD 1.7 billion at December), and it is a situation which has prompted the group to sell its capital-intensive data centres. Should it fail to achieve its price ambitions, an equity raising may need to occur, which could come at a deep discount, pushing its share price lower. Also in question is how long chairman Justine Smythe remains, with suggestions surfacing that her departure could be imminent. Australian-listed telecoms giant Telstra is understood to have weighed an acquisition of New Zealand counterpart Spark in recent years, sources say. However, it is understood to have passed on the opportunity, determining it was not the right priority for the No.1-listed Australian telco player, which has about 40% of the local market share. Some private equity firms have also shied away, not wanting such a large exposure to the New Zealand market. Also, some industry operatives question where the value will be for a private equity buyer, with many of the costs recently stripped out. But others believe in private hands, operatives can substantially lift the financial performance. A buyout fund would also need to consider what its sale options would be in future years, with another listing its likely only option, as Asian telcos are also adverse to major New Zealand investment.공시 • May 12Interest in Spark Lights UpStonepeak Partners LP appears to be continuing its unrelenting march when it comes to investing in the Australian and New Zealand infrastructure space, with the global group believed to be weighing a move to buy Spark New Zealand Limited (NZSE:SPK)'s data centre portfolio that may sell for about $800 million. The US infrastructure investor that counts former Macquarie banker Darren Keogh in its top ranks is considering a purchase of Australia's largest diagnostic imaging provider, I-Med, and recently fended off competition from Williams and GIP to acquire a 40% interest in Woodside's Louisiana-based LNG Infrastructure. Stonepeak is listed in New York with more than $50 billion of assets under management and it joins groups like Canadian pension fund CDPQ and private equity firms like KKR, EQT and Pacific Equity Partners in considering a purchase of the assets across the Tasman. The data centres are up for sale through Jarden. The process has launched but is in its early stages as Spark seeks to get money through the door to pay down debt.공시 • Feb 28Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec completed the acquisition of 50% stake in Connexa Limited from Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan Board and Spark New Zealand Limited (NZSE:SPK).Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec agreed to acquire 50% stake in Connexa Limited from Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan Board and Spark New Zealand Limited (NZSE:SPK) for approximately AUD 310 million on December 12, 2024.

Yet Spark remains under pressure with large levels of debt (net debt was at almost NZD 1.7 billion at December), and it is a situation which has prompted the group to sell its capital-intensive data centres. Should it fail to achieve its price ambitions, an equity raising may need to occur, which could come at a deep discount, pushing its share price lower. Also in question is how long chairman Justine Smythe remains, with suggestions surfacing that her departure could be imminent. Australian-listed telecoms giant Telstra is understood to have weighed an acquisition of New Zealand counterpart Spark in recent years, sources say. However, it is understood to have passed on the opportunity, determining it was not the right priority for the No.1-listed Australian telco player, which has about 40% of the local market share. Some private equity firms have also shied away, not wanting such a large exposure to the New Zealand market. Also, some industry operatives question where the value will be for a private equity buyer, with many of the costs recently stripped out. But others believe in private hands, operatives can substantially lift the financial performance. A buyout fund would also need to consider what its sale options would be in future years, with another listing its likely only option, as Asian telcos are also adverse to major New Zealand investment.
공시 • May 12Interest in Spark Lights UpStonepeak Partners LP appears to be continuing its unrelenting march when it comes to investing in the Australian and New Zealand infrastructure space, with the global group believed to be weighing a move to buy Spark New Zealand Limited (NZSE:SPK)'s data centre portfolio that may sell for about $800 million. The US infrastructure investor that counts former Macquarie banker Darren Keogh in its top ranks is considering a purchase of Australia's largest diagnostic imaging provider, I-Med, and recently fended off competition from Williams and GIP to acquire a 40% interest in Woodside's Louisiana-based LNG Infrastructure. Stonepeak is listed in New York with more than $50 billion of assets under management and it joins groups like Canadian pension fund CDPQ and private equity firms like KKR, EQT and Pacific Equity Partners in considering a purchase of the assets across the Tasman. The data centres are up for sale through Jarden. The process has launched but is in its early stages as Spark seeks to get money through the door to pay down debt.
