Deal significance: The deal, which completed on 23 March, involved the sale of MTS to NSW for A$19.8 million, plus distributions. “We have been working closely with AIX on the sale of a number of its non-core assets as the fund continues to shift its focus to the airports sector,’ said Haddy. Freehills also advised AIX on the recent divestment of its stake in the Port of Geelong, which sold for $25 million, plus distributions.
