Bestinver Infrastructure and Tages Capital increase holdings in IPlanet

Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer advised Bestinver; Gianni & Origoni advised Tages Capital and collaborated with Tages' head of Legal Affairs; Chiomenti advised Macquarie Capital; and Caruso Andreatini Notai Associati handled the notarial aspects of the transaction. The transaction concerns an increase in the indirect holdings in IPlanet, the Italian operator formed as a joint venture with Italiana Petroli to develop electric vehicle charging infrastructure in Italy. Bestinver, through a new investment vehicle alongside Bestinver Infrastructure Fund II, and Tages Capital, via the fund Tages Helios Net Zero, acquired the shareholding previously held by Macquarie Capital in EV Asset Holdings (EVAH), the holding company that indirectly owns 50% of IPlanet. Bestinver and Tages were already minority shareholders in EVAH following an acquisition in 2024 of a portion of the stake originally held by Macquarie Capital. After completion of the present transaction, which received European Commission antitrust clearance at the end of November, Bestinver holds approximately two thirds of EVAH's capital and Tages holds the remaining one third. Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer represented Bestinver with a team composed by: partners Guillermo Uriarte Senén, Francesca Morra and Lucia Garralda and senior associate Giacomo Gavotti (corporate), and Henar Gonzalez Durantez, partner, Pilar Carrasco, senior associate, and Gonzalo Sanz-Magallón, associate, who followed antitrust aspects. Gianni & Origoni represented Tages Capital (together with Tages' head of Legal Affairs Marcello Ciampi) with a team composed by: partners Mauro Sambati and Raffaele Tronci, counsel Aldo Turella, managing associate Alberto Punzi and associate Giuseppe Nigro for corporate matters, and of counsel Eva Cruellas Sada and senior associate Giacomo Dalla Valentina for antitrust. Chiomenti represented Macquarie Capital with a team composed by: partners Mario Roli and Elena Busson, senior associates Matteo Garofalo and Giusi Nicolosi, and associates Edoardo Fornaro and Bianca Strazzabosco for corporate matters, and senior associate Antonino Cutrupi for antitrust.
