JTC Acquisition

JTC was acquired by Permira for $3.4B on 10 November 2025.

The acquisition price implies a 26.2x EBITDA multiple.

Permira Advisers LLP, together with Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB), agreed to acquire JTC plc, a London-listed fund administration and corporate services provider, for £2.3 billion ($3 billion) at 1,340 pence per share—a 37% premium to JTC's unaffected closing price on August 28, 2025. The acquisition, announced November 10, 2025, values the enterprise at approximately £2.7 billion, implying a 26.2x multiple on pre-IFRS 16 adjusted EBITDA of £100 million for the 12 months ended June 30, 2025. JTC operates 38 offices worldwide with approximately 2,300 employees, administering funds and corporate structures for clients in private equity, real estate, and venture capital; the company recently completed the acquisition of Citigroup's Citi Trust business. Permira and CPPIB will acquire JTC through newly formed Papilio Bidco Limited, with the transaction structured as a Court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement under Jersey law. The deal reflects Permira's decade-long thematic investment focus in fund administration and corporate trust services, with management citing operational flexibility and enhanced financial capacity to invest in technology and artificial intelligence as key strategic drivers. Competition authorities in Austria, the United States, and Germany approved the transaction; JTC shareholders voted overwhelmingly in favor on March 19, 2026 with approximately 99.97% support, and the acquisition is expected to complete in the third quarter of 2026, subject to final court sanction and closing conditions.
