3i Infrastructure to sell stake in TCR

Bernardo Sottomayor of 3i Investments, 3i Infrastructure's investment manager, said: "We are extremely proud of TCR's achievements during our period of ownership. Since our investment in 2016, and despite the unprecedented Covid-related transportation crisis, we delivered resilient financial performance and achieved exceptional growth to transform TCR into a truly global platform.

"We add another successful realisation to our track record, highlighting the strength of our investment strategy. The robust premium achieved over the pre-sale valuation demonstrates the latent value potential in our portfolio. We would like to thank Tom Bellekens, Jason Watson and the TCR management team for their commitment and wish them continued success."
