Brookfield will facilitate the Schoeller Group increasing their ownership by 5% to 30% at closing and, subject to certain conditions, the Schoeller Group will have the opportunity to further increase their ownership.

Brookfield and Schoeller Group will jointly pursue a growth strategy both organically and through acquisitions, capitalising on the long standing international network of the Schoeller Group and supported by Brookfield's global presence, financial strength and expertise. A number of potential transactions are in discussion.

Alwyne Capital advised the Schoeller Group in a global search for its new partner, introducing Brookfield.

Martin Schoeller, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of the Schoeller Group commented:

"Robin Menzel is a longstanding financial adviser of ours, having supported us successfully for nearly two decades in a series of acquisitions and partnerships.  

With Brookfield, we have a reputed partner with the financial strength, industry expertise and global presence to support our global expansion ambition.  

Robin Menzel and his team played a critical role in getting a deal done that satisfied both JP Morgan's exit valuation target and the Schoeller Group's long-term strategy."  

Closing of the transaction remains subject to customary conditions, including, among others, regulatory approvals and is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2018.
