KKR and Energy Capital Partners Consortium Agrees to Acquire DCC Energy

DCC Energy has agreed to a recommended £5.75 billion (about $7.7 billion) all-cash acquisition by a consortium led by KKR and Energy Capital Partners, which would take the company private. The deal values DCC shareholders at 6,525 pence per share in cash plus a previously declared final dividend, with potential upside tied to the sale of DCC’s Nexora technology business. The transaction is subject to shareholder approval and regulatory clearances.
