Sydney-based BBI is seeking partners to invest in two core assets, Powerco and WestNet Rail, which operates a 5,100km rail network in the southern half of Western Australia, it said in a statement. The decision follows a review started in June to strengthen BBI's balance sheet and free up cash for investments.
The sale comes four years after a unit of BBI, then Prime Infrastructure Networks, acquired Powerco from interests including local government organisations for NZ$680 million. The stock rose 2.2% to 90 cents today. It tumbled as much as 27% on June 13, after its parent's shares slid on concern it may have to make early repayment of loans.
