Partners Group offers to buy TSX-listed Axia NetMedia at C$272M market cap Partners Group has agreed to acquire Axia NetMedia (TSX: AXX), a Canada-based company that designs, installs and operates fiber-based internet and data networks across North America and France. The offer is for C$4.25 per share—a 49% premium over Axia's share price at Tuesday's close—valuing the company at C$272 million. Partners Group's offer is unanimously recommended by Axia’s Board of Directors.
If the deal reaches a close, it becomes a small boost to a slow start for PE investor activity in Canada this year. According to the PitchBook Platform, PE firms closed 28 Canadian deals in January and February this year, an almost 40% drop from the 46 deals completed in the same timeframe in 2015. Despite a humdrum open to 2016, activity in the country is elevated on a historical basis. PE investors closed 283 Canadian deals last year, which is up 26% from the 225 in 2012.
