The transaction forms part of a major recapitalisation of AJL, which is expected to raise approximately $110 million.
Kerogen, a private equity fund adviser based in Hong Kong, has agreed to subscribe to a share placement equal to a 15 per cent interest in AJL to provide mezzanine finance of $66.5 million and be granted options to acquire further AJL shares and to sub underwrite a non-renounceable rights issue.

In addition to Sparks, the A&O team was led by corporate partner Aaron Kenavan, banking partner Chris Robertson and taxation partner Andrew Stals. They were assisted by corporate partner Grant Koch, banking partner Jason Huinink and senior associates Joy Lam, Daniel Lee and Ka Sen Wong.
