In 2012 Seagull Finance Group formed a strategic partnership with EBX Group, entering one of South America’s most important markets, through a US $2.0 billion preferred equity investment.
Since 2013, EBX has faced certain financial difficulties. Seagull Finance Group and EBX entered into discussions at that time to restructure Seagull Finance Group’s investment in EBX. These discussions have led to a series of transactions through which Seagull Finance Group has redeemed a substantial portion of its original investment into direct equity interests in a number of assets.
