ROME (Reuters) – Atlantia investor and hedge fund TCI has urged Italy\u2019s government not to put any pressure on the Italian infrastructure group to strike a deal to sell its motorway business Autostrade, a letter seen by Reuters shows.<\/p>

TCI\u2019s letter, dated April 12, asks the government to allow Atlantia to evaluate \u201cindependently and free from any political interference\u201d an offer for Autostrade from Spanish infrastructure group ACS.<\/p>\n

Autostrade, which manages half of Italy\u2019s motorway network, has been in the political crosshairs since the 2018 deadly collapse of a Genoa motorway bridge run by the company.<\/p>\n

As part of a government-backed initiative to reclaim control of the motorways, Atlantia is in advanced talks with a consortium led by Italian state lender Cassa Depositi e Prestiti (CDP), which has presented a binding offer for Autostrade.<\/p>\n

However, ACS has sent an expression of interest for Atlantia\u2019s 88% stake in Autostrade, which it values at between 9 billion and 10 billion euros ($12 billion), in a move that could foil the government\u2019s plans.<\/p>\n

\u201cAtlantia should be allowed to take the required time to consider the ACS offer,\u201d TCI said in the letter, adding that Rome should not make approval of Autostrade\u2019s economic and financial plan conditional on a deal with the CDP-led consortium.<\/p>\n

Such a condition would be a \u201cblatant violation of the principle of free movement of capital\u201d, TCI said.<\/p>\n

The offer from the CDP and partners Macquarie and Blackstone is based on an Autostrade valuation of 9.1 billion euros, which some Atlantia investors, including TCI, believe is too low.<\/p>\n

On Sunday Italian newspaper La Stampa reported that U.S. investment firm Apollo and Italian group Toto Holding might also submit offers.<\/p>\n

The Atlantia board has called a shareholder meeting on May 28 to examine the CDP-led bid.<\/p>\n

($1 = 0.8345 euros)<\/p>\n
