Quebec pension fund to buy a share of Bombardier Rail
Author: Lackawanna484

A newly formed company will hold Bombardier's rail assets, and the Quebec pension fund has agreed to own 30% of that new business.  They describe the rail business as global, resilient, and cash generating.  The effect will be to separate the rail business from the troubled aerospace business.

Globe & Mail:Montreal-based Bombardier said on Thursday it has struck a deal with the Caisse for a $1.5-billion convertible share investment in a newly created holding company, Bombardier Transportation (Investment) UK Ltd.The new company, with its own board headed by Bombardier chief Alain Bellemare, will hold all of the assets of Berlin-based Bombardier Transportation, the company’s rail division.

Rail is resilient
