MADRID (Reuters) -Spanish construction company ACS has agreed to sell the transportation business of its Australian subsidiary UGL to Japan’s Sojitz Corporation for over 560 million euros ($650 million), Spanish newspaper El Economista reported on Monday, citing sources familiar with the talks.
ACS declined to comment, while Sojitz did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The deal is expected to close by the end of this year or early 2026, subject to regulatory approvals, the newspaper said.
ACS’s Australian unit CIMIC Group hired Macquarie Capital earlier this year to explore the sale of its UGL transport business, El Economista added.
