Aecom<\/a> has successfully completed the sale of its civil construction arm to affiliates of Oroco Capital<\/a>, a strategic infrastructure investor also<\/h2>\n

The sale of its civil construction division comes after Aecom sold its power construction business in October.<\/p>\n

The company has now exited all of its self-perform, at-risk construction businesses<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2018A significant milestone in the transformation of our business\u2019<\/h3>\n

Troy Rudd, Aecom\u2019s chief executive officer, said: \u201cThe completion of the sale of the civil construction business marks a significant milestone in the transformation of our business profile to best position Aecom for long-term success.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs global leaders in the infrastructure, environment and water markets, we are poised to capitalise on our clients\u2019 increasing demand for our consulting services to transform cities, achieve bold ESG ambitions and better the communities we serve.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the progress we have made on our key strategic priorities, our advancement of our \u2018Think and Act Globally\u2019 strategy to drive growth and the momentum in the business, we remain committed to repurchasing shares in order to fully capitalise on the value creation opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz<\/a> served as legal advisor to Aecom in connection with the transaction, and DBO Partners LLC served as its financial advisor.<\/p>\n

Aecom has also announced that it has executed nearly $150m (~\u00a3110m) of share repurchases since its fourth-quarter fiscal 2020 earnings announcement on November 16, 2020.<\/p>\n

Since September 2020, the company has executed more than $600m of share repurchases. As a result, diluted shares outstanding has been reduced by approximately 8%.<\/p>\n
