The full read
Maple Infrastructure Trust is set for a change in control. CDPQ Infrastructures Asia III Inc. has signed a binding agreement to sell 177.3 million units, representing 37.5% of the trust, to Macquarie-managed MAIF 4 Investments India 2 Pte. Ltd. This deal escalates from preliminary discussions held in December 2025. Because the buyer intends to hold more than 25% of the trust, SEBI regulations require unitholder approval. The trust will hold an extraordinary meeting on June 15, 2026, to clear the path for the transaction. The arrival of Macquarie as a controlling unitholder is a major shift in the trust's governance profile. Investors should view this as a rare, material event that will likely dictate the trust's strategic direction for years to come.
