AirTrunk’s owners are planning to kick off a process to sell the Australian data center operator, people familiar with the matter said, in what could be one of Asia Pacific’s biggest digital infrastructure deals this year.
AirTrunk’s backers including Macquarie Asset Management and PSP Investments could seek a valuation of about A$12 billion ($7.9 billion) in a potential sale, one of the people said, asking not to be identified because the matter is private. Other options include selling a controlling or partial stake, the people said.
