US Investment Firm Castlelake Proposes £4.7bn Takeover of easyJet

22 Haziran 2026The Guardian

US investment firm Castlelake has made its £4.7 billion takeover proposal for easyJet public, marking its third attempt to acquire the budget airline. The latest offer, an all-cash bid of 625p per share, has been rejected by easyJet's board, which previously dismissed offers of 560p and 600p.
Castlelake's proposal aims to attract shareholder attention as it seeks to negotiate a deal.
The airline industry has faced numerous challenges, including fluctuating demand and economic pressures, which could impact valuations. EasyJet's board appears to be holding firm on its assessment of the company's worth, indicating confidence in its future performance despite the ongoing negotiations.
The repeated rejections of Castlelake's offers suggest a significant valuation gap between the investment firm and easyJet's management. By going public with its bid, Castlelake may be attempting to pressure the airline's board by appealing directly to shareholders.
