Funds managed by Blackstone, along with the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, or CPP Investments, have entered into a definitive agreement to acquire AirTrunk, the Asia Pacific data center platform, from Macquarie Asset Management and the Public Sector Pension Investment Board, for an implied enterprise value of over A$24B. This represents Blackstone’s largest investment in the Asia Pacific region. The transaction is subject to approval from the Australian Foreign Investment Review Board.
