奖项荣誉
Latin Finance 2019 “Cross-Border Deal of the Year” for 2019 Global Transportadora Associada de Gás (CDPQ, Engie)
Mayer Brown and Tauil & Chequer (T&C) in association with Mayer Brown advised on the transaction that was recognized by LatinFinance as its “Cross Border M&A Deal of the Year” for 2019.
T&C represented Le Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ), GDF International and Engie Brasil Energia S.A. in the acquisition of a 90 percent shareholding stake in Transportadora Associada de Gás S.A. (TAG) from Petrobras, with a final and binding offer of US$8.6 billion. The acquisition of TAG – the largest natural gas transportation company in Brazil, with approximately 4,500 km of gas pipeline infrastructure located along the coast of the northeast and southeast regions, in addition to a pipeline in the north – is Engie’s debut in the natural gas segment in Brazil and CDPQ's first infrastructure investment in Brazil. T&C played a prominent role in this groundbreaking transaction in a challenging regulatory environment by advising CDPQ and Engie in corporate, regulatory, tax, compliance, litigation, real estate, labor and antitrust aspects.
Infrastructure Investor 2019 Deal of the Year, Global Transportadora Associada de Gás (CDPQ, Engie)
The acquisition of a 90 percent stake in Brazil’s largest natural gas transportation network owner, alongside French utility Engie, is Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec’s first infrastructure investment in the country. At $8.6 billion, it was also one of 2019’s largest infra transactions. TAG has nearly 4,500 km of pipelines, 12 gas compression stations and 91 delivery points. Petrobras will continue to use TAG’s gas transportation services under existing contracts.
In one of the more innovative deals of 2019, Australian firm QIC agreed to a 50-year concession with Northeastern University to manage and innovate the campus’s parking and mobility services. Innovations could include converting parking spaces into electric vehicle charging stations. The deal is the first agreement to provide for the future development of technology-enabled mobility solutions, such as an intermodal connectivity platform, in line with providing mobility-as-a-service based on commuters’ needs. MasParc is QIC’s second parking partnership in the US. In 2012, the firm formed Campus Parc, which operates all aspects of Ohio State University’s parking system, also through a 50-year agreement.
