Deal significance: Speaking about the transaction, Mr Mayson said: “This transaction is another example of the strong M&A activity we are seeing at present. Together with KPMG Australia’s Corporate Finance team, we ran a successful sale process involving a global team.

“It’s certainly beneficial in a complex transaction such as this that KPMG could provide the benefits to the client of seamlessly engaging only one professional adviser in KPMG rather than the client having to manage multiple service providers.”
