Market Impact

The acquisition of a larger stake in Exolum by Stoneshield Capital signals strong investor confidence in the energy logistics sector and Exolum's future growth, potentially leading to increased valuation for similar infrastructure assets. OMERS' divestment represents a capital rotation strategy, which could free up capital for new investments.

Event Summary

Stoneshield Capital has signed an agreement to acquire a 15% stake in Exolum from OMERS, building on its existing investment. This transaction will increase Stoneshield Capital's total stake in Exolum to approximately 20%. The remaining 10% of OMERS' ~25% stake is being acquired by another leading global investment firm. Exolum is a Spanish-headquartered global energy logistics company specializing in the transportation, storage, and distribution of refined products, bulk liquids, and aviation fuels, and is increasingly involved in supporting the energy transition. The co-founders of Stoneshield Capital, Felipe Morenés Botín and Juan Pepa, expressed strong conviction in Exolum's strategic assets and growth potential. Luca Lupo of OMERS Infrastructure noted Exolum's evolution into a more diversified and international business. The transaction is expected to complete in Q3 2026, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. Stoneshield Capital will assume three of OMERS' current Board seats.
