Target

Integrated environmental services company engaged in landfill, incineration and water treatment; the IMM consortium described it as Korea's largest waste treatment operator on closing.

Deal rationale

TY Holdings, in the course of Taeyoung E&C's workout, had raised about KRW 400bn in bonds from KKR with all Ecorbit shares pledged as collateral; it and KKR jointly sold 100% for KRW 2.07tn, with proceeds used to repay the bonds (Aju Economy, Smart Today). The IMM consortium cited stable waste treatment demand, value-chain coverage and cash generation, and said it would pursue bolt-on acquisitions in recycling (Asia Economy).
