A&O Shearman is advising Meridiam in take-private acquisition of Allego N.V.

Meridiam intends to commence a tender offer to acquire all the shares of Allego not already owned by Meridiam, which is expected to be followed by the delisting of Allego’s ordinary shares from the New York Stock Exchange. Allego and Meridiam entered into a definitive ‘transaction framework agreement’ on June 16. The transaction was announced on June 17 in a press release.

Allego is a leading provider of electric vehicle charging solutions and operates a network of 35,000 charging points across 16 countries. Meridiam is a global investor and asset manager specializing in developing, financing and managing long-term public infrastructure.

The A&O Shearman team that advised Meridiam was led by M&A partners Olivier Valk, David Ingles and Sean Skiffington, and included Employment Litigation partner Hanneke Bennaars, Antitrust partner Kees Schillemans, M&A associates Jeroen Allebrandi, Reinier de Groot, Mohamed Zaatout, Drew Elphick and Yuwei Liu, Employment Litigation associate Priscilla Haricharan and Antitrust associate Hannah Smit.
