Arriva Group welcomes Deutsche Bahn\u2019s agreement to sell its business to I Squared Capital<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Arriva Group has today welcomed the proposed transaction between Deutsche Bahn (DB) and I Squared Capital, which will see ownership of the company transferred to I Squared during 2024, subject to the customary closing conditions and approvals.<\/p>\n

I Squared has a track record of successful investments in infrastructure companies \u2013 from energy solutions companies such as Aggreko, through to transport and logistics services companies including TIP Group.<\/p>\n

Importantly, I Squared is recognised for its commitment to creating long-term, sustainable value in the businesses it invests in, and has a reputation for helping management teams to improve operational performance while also investing significant capital in companies to support their transition to sustainable public utilities.<\/p>\n

After the progress Arriva has made over the past few years in creating a stronger, more competitive business, I Squared\u2019s investment will now give Arriva the right platform for growth. By drawing on I Squared\u2019s experience, expertise and investment capabilities, the management team will be able to create new opportunities for Arriva\u2019s passengers, colleagues and Passenger Transport Authorities, while also helping to protect the planet by supporting a low carbon energy transition.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the proposed transaction, Mike Cooper, Arriva Group CEO said: \u201cThis is a great opportunity for Arriva and the start of an important new chapter for our business. I know that the team at I Squared share our belief in providing sustainable transport services that cater for the needs of tomorrow, as well as the pressures of today.<\/p>\n

I Squared\u2019s investment in our business will help to unlock new opportunities and create value for everyone who is important to Arriva \u2013 our people, the planet, and above all the passengers we are privileged to transport every day.<\/p>\n

The Arriva brand and values will not only be unchanged by the transaction, but they will also be given a new lease of life. We are really looking forward to working together with I Squared and realising our ambition to become the leading passenger transport partner across Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n

Angelo Costa, Managing Director for Arriva Italy commented: \u201cThe announcement today is great news for the whole of Arriva and also for our business here in Italy. While we can look to the future with confidence under a new owner, nothing changes in the way we deliver our services with this news today. Our colleagues will continue to deliver a great service for our Passenger Transport Authority clients and for the communities that we are at the heart of\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
