Notes to Editors:
International Public Partnerships Limited is a closed end investment company that invests in infrastructure assets in the UK, Europe and internationally, particularly those with a public or social character such as those developed with public bodies under private finance initiative (PFI) or public private partnership (PPP) procurement.
The portfolio consists of 50 PPP/PFI projects with more than 99% of revenues backed by Governments. There is diversification geographically as well as across several PPP/PFI sectors, including roads and tunnels, railways, schools, courthouses, police and custodial facilities, government offices and health facilities. Average remaining concession life of projects in the portfolio is 25 years, against a weighted average debt tenor of 24 years, ensuring that project debt is largely matched to concession life.
Amber Infrastructure Group has been responsible for the development and management of the majority of these assets and will continue to manage them for the benefit of INPP shareholders.
The company listed on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange in November 2006, and is a constituent of the FTSE 250 and FTSE AllShare.
