PGGM is increasing its commitment to BAM PPP PGGM Infrastructure Coöperatie U.A. by €100 million.

It is the intention of both parties to continue to monitor the utilization of the additional funding and further increase the commitment when required. This increase is a result of the joint venture currently achieving the expectations of both joint venture partners.

The objective of the joint venture remains to provide a long-term partnership to invest in the developing social and transport PPP markets in the Netherlands, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany and Switzerland. BAM PPP retains full responsibility for bid management for new projects and the provision of asset management services to the joint venture and will represent the joint venture in its transactions. PGGM is a supportive investor generally providing 80 percent of the required capital for projects.
