[ad_1]

LONDON (Reuters) -Rolls-Royce said it agreed to sell its Spanish unit ITP Aero to a consortium led by Bain Capital Private Equity for 1.7 billion euros ($2.0 billion), bringing the British engineering company close to its 2 billion pound target for disposals.
Rolls-Royce shares rose 10% to 146 pence after the sale, which was their highest point since March 2020’s pandemic.
In August 2020, the 2 billion pound disposal plan announced. It was intended to repair a damaged balance sheet. ITP was the largest asset.
Rolls-Royce had authorized the transaction, although it was still subject to regulatory approvals.
Warren East, Rolls-Royce chief executive stated that today’s announcement was a major milestone in our disposal program. He said it would support our medium-term aim to restore investment-grade credit ratings.
Rolls-Royce will still be suppliers to ITP, a turbine blade-maker.
The statement stated that Bain Capital has a consortium of Spanish co-investors SAPA, JB Capital and the possibility for additional industrial partners.
