U.K. budget airline has struck a deal to be acquired after rejecting four previous offers by the American investment firm.

È la quinta offerta del fondo americano per acquisire la compagnia low cost britannica per 5,2 miliardi di di sterline. Nessuna ipotesi di smembramento

The offer of £6.90 per share for Easyjet remains short of the £7 per share offer that some shareholders had been holding out for.

The agreement marks huge progress for the companies after months of fraught negotiations

Castlelake’s £6.90-a-share bid values EasyJet at more than £5 billion.
