APA Group (ASX:APA) today announces the execution of a binding agreement to divest its 20% equity ownership in GDI (EII) Pty Ltd (GDI), which owns the Allgas gas distribution network (Allgas Network), to affiliates of Stonepeak (Australia) Pty Ltd (Stonepeak).
This forms part of a broader transaction which sees 100% of GDI being sold to Stonepeak. As part of the transaction, APA will continue to provide corporate services to GDI (including to the Allgas Network) for up to three years.1
APA’s earnings from the entities to be divested, which is derived from the ownership of gas distribution assets in South East Queensland and Northern New South Wales, represented less than 1% of APA’s FY25 Underlying EBITDA. APA’s share of the proceeds from the sale are estimated to be $64 million.2
CEO and Managing Director, Adam Watson, said the divestment reflects APA’s continued focus on reviewing its portfolio to simplify the business as it continues to deliver its customer-focused growth strategy.
