The following communication was sent to Macquarie Infrastructure Corporation employees on June 7, 2021:

 

Colleagues,

 

This morning, Macquarie Infrastructure Corporation (“MIC”) announced the signing of a definitive agreement to sell its Atlantic Aviation business to KKR for approximately $4.475 billion in cash and assumed debt and reorganization obligations. You can view the press release on MIC’s website.

 

The sale of Atlantic Aviation is expected to close in 4Q21, subject to customary regulatory approvals and approval from MIC shareholders.

 

The investment from KKR positions Atlantic Aviation for continued growth as a standalone company led by the existing management team.

 

MIC will receive approximately $3.5 billion at closing and is expected to distribute approximately $37.35 per unit to investors.

 

We are pleased with the value that KKR has seen in the people and Atlantic Aviation business and are confident that the sale will have long-term benefits for both the company and for our Atlantic Aviation colleagues. In addition to the timely closing of a sale of Atlantic Aviation, our focus remains on successfully concluding the sale process for our MIC Hawaii business.

 

I want to extend my personal thanks to each of the teams involved in reaching this important milestone for their commitment and resilience. and achieving a successful outcome while navigating the business through COVID-19.

 

I encourage you to visit MIC’s Investor Center to view more information about the announcement. As a general reminder, only authorized individuals are approved to talk externally on the transaction; should you receive any questions, please send them to mic@macquarie.com.

 

Regards,

  

Christopher Frost
Chief Executive Officer

 

 

 

 

 

 

The following communication was made available to Atlantic Aviation employees on June 7, 2021:

 

On June 7, 2021, Macquarie Infrastructure Corporation (MIC), the parent company of Atlantic Aviation, announced that it had entered into an agreement to sell Atlantic Aviation to Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, or “KKR”.

 

Hopefully, this is not a surprise to you, an Atlantic employee, as MIC announced in late 2019 that it was going to attempt to sell Atlantic.

 

So what does this mean for you?

 

Well, you can rest assured that it will be business as usual for us at Atlantic. Atlantic will still and always be Atlantic. You, the Atlantic employee, will still be our most valuable asset.

 

The sale of Atlantic Aviation is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2021.

 

Thank you as always for your dedication and your continued commitment to service and safety.
