The $A9.05 billion takeover of Asciano by a Qube Holdings-led consortium is expected to be approved by the Supreme Court of New South Wales on 28 July 2016. It has already received approval from the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission and the Foreign Investment Review Board. The deal involves Qube and Brookfield Infrastructure Partners taking over Asciano’s Patrick container ports, while five international pension funds will assume the ownership of the Pacific National rail freight business.
