Aker Capital can increase the sale price of its controlling interest in lease finance shipowner Ocean Yield by picking up a troublesome asset.
The Kjell Inge Rokke-controlled company made waves this week when it agreed to sell its 61.65% share in lease-finance shipowner Ocean Yield to US private equity fund Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR) for some NOK 7.2bn ($829.5m), at a 26% premium to share value at last close.
