Anglian Water Group funding rounds
| Date | Stage | Investors | Raised | Deal Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Feb 2018 | Secondary | Dalmore Capital | - | Dalmore Capital and GLIL Infrastructure completed the acquisition of 3i Infrastructure’s interest in Anglian Water Group on 21 February 2018. The transaction generated estimated gross proceeds of approximately GBP 395 million for 3i Infrastructure, which sold its entire minority holding. 3i Infrastructure had entered the investment through its 2007 seed portfolio and later increased the stake to about 10.3%. Anglian Water Group is the parent of the regulated water utility serving more than six million domestic and business customers across eastern England and Hartlepool. The company owns long-lived treatment, storage, distribution and wastewater infrastructure and earns revenue under periodic regulatory price controls. Dalmore and GLIL acquired the stake as long-term institutional infrastructure investors rather than as industrial operators. The sale followed receipt of the required third-party consents. It ended an approximately eleven-year holding period for 3i Infrastructure and crystallised value from one of its original core investments. |
| Mar 2007 | Secondary | 3i Infrastructure | $271M | 3i Infrastructure acquired a 9% interest in Anglian Water Group from 3i Group as part of the seed portfolio transferred at its London listing on 13 March 2007. The interest was valued at GBP 140 million at transfer and gave the newly listed infrastructure company exposure to a regulated British water utility. Anglian Water Group is the parent of Anglian Water, which provides water and water recycling services across eastern England and Hartlepool. The business earns regulated revenue from more than six million household and business customers and invests continuously in network resilience and environmental performance. 3i Infrastructure later purchased an additional interest, increasing its holding to about 10.3%. The investment therefore represented a long-duration minority position rather than a change of control. It became one of the company’s largest early core infrastructure holdings. 3i Infrastructure ultimately sold the entire stake to an institutional consortium in 2018. |
