Andrew Wooler, Burstone’s chief executive, highlighted the benefits of the deal, saying, “This partnership deepens our already strong relationship with Blackstone’s operational and management team, who know our European team well from previous successful collaborations.”
The transaction, which is still subject to regulatory and investor approval, is expected to yield approximately €250 million for Burstone. The company plans to use the proceeds to reduce its debt, strengthen its balance sheet, and invest in growth opportunities, particularly within its Australian and German platforms.
