Infratil says it has agreed to sell 53.53 million shares - representing a 5 percent stake - in Contact Energy through a fully underwritten block trade. The sale is at $9.25 per ordinary share, generating expected gross proceeds of about $495.17 million, and taking Infratil’s shareholding down to 9.08 percent. The sell-down is expected to complete on May 25. Generate investment specialist Greg Smith says Infratil will have other opportunities they'll want to take advantage of, like data centres.
