Ecofin Reiterates Contention of Inequitable Transaction Price of Covanta Holding by EQT Infrastructure


Ecofin Advisors Ltd ("Ecofin") and its affiliates continue to advocate positive results for all shareholders by further engagement through a letter expressing Ecofin's intent and its justification for voting against the merger proposal between Covanta Holding Corporation ("Covanta") and EQT Infrastructure ("EQT"). Read the initial letter sent to the Covanta Board here.

"In addition to the arguments laid out in our first letter, our conviction about the inadequacy of the offer has been fortified following the receipt of additional information included in the proxy materials dated September 2, 2021," said Michel Sznajer, Portfolio Manager at Ecofin. "We further believe EQT should make a fairer offer or Covanta should continue as an independent company in order to harvest the expected value creation opportunities over the next few years."
