Everstone in advanced talks to divest its stake in RBA

Everstone, the private-investment firm, is reported to be in advanced discussions with multiple prospective buyers over an exit from RBA. According to public reporting, the conversations center on a sale of Everstone’s stake, with terms and timing still subject to negotiation and customary approvals.

Market participants say the process appears to have attracted interest from a range of strategic and financial investors, underscoring RBA’s appeal as an asset. While specifics on bidders, valuation expectations or deal structure have not been disclosed, an orderly sale could represent a notable private-equity exit given Everstone’s role in the asset’s development.

Observers note that exits of this type often involve parallel considerations — from regulatory clearances to stakeholder consents and financing arrangements for buyers. Any formal agreement reached between Everstone and a purchaser would typically proceed through definitive documentation and, where required, public filings or shareholder notifications.

For Everstone, which has built a portfolio of companies across real estate, infrastructure and alternative assets, a sale of the RBA holding would align with routine portfolio management: crystallizing gains, recycling capital into new opportunities, or refocusing strategic priorities. For RBA, a change in ownership could bring fresh operational or capital resources if a new investor seeks to expand or accelerate growth plans.

Market watchers caution that advanced talks do not guarantee a completed transaction. Deal dynamics can shift rapidly as due diligence progresses or as market conditions evolve. That said, the reported level of engagement suggests there is genuine buyer interest — a necessary precursor to a final transaction.

Stakeholders and observers will likely look for further announcements from Everstone or RBA and any regulatory notices in the markets where they operate. Until a definitive agreement is declared, details will remain fluid, and participants should expect additional reporting as negotiations advance or conclude.
