Sir Jim Ratcliffe komplettieert $1.6Mrd Manchester United deal

By Chris Dinsdale

February 21, 2024 - Der britische Milliardär Sir Jim Ratcliffe hat den $1,6Mrd Deal zum Kauf von 27,7% Minderheitsanteil an Manchester United abgeschlossen – Ratcliffs Ineos Gruppe übernimmt die Kontrolle über die Fußball Belange im Club.

The deal for Manchester United includes Ratcliffe’s acquisition of 25% class B shares -- largely held by Glazer family and containing almost all voting rights -- and 25% class A shares. Furthermore, investment commitments are promised, detailing $300m for future stadium improvements at Old Trafford -- $200m initially and further $100m by end of 2024 -- elevating Radcliffe’s shares to 28.9%.

Manchester-born Ratcliffe is founder and majority owner of British petrochemicals empire Ineos. Previous sporting ventures include purchases of Lausanne-Sport and Nice football clubs, alongside multiple partnerships in sailing, F1, cycling, rugby and athletics through the Ineos brand.
