Moreover, the global credit financing & solutions (GCFS) division of Deutsche Bank is purchasing the portfolio. GCFS offers a variety of loan products, such as asset-backed financing, infrastructure and transportation finance, renewable energy finance, and energy transition finance.
Ross Duncan, co-head of the global transportation finance team at Deutsche Bank stated: “This deal plays to our strengths and our deep experience in this sector. It is an opportunity for us to acquire high quality loans with an attractive return profile.”
The quality of the portfolio was demonstrated by the strong demand for the loans throughout the competitive bidding procedure, and it is agreed upon by both sides not to reveal the purchase price.
Furthermore, the antitrust authorities must provide their permission before the purchase transaction can be completed. It is anticipated that the deal would close in the latter part of 2024.
