Acquisition of Aman Resorts

Ogier in the BVI acted with Bryan Cave LLP's London office to advise a private investor group led by Peak Hotels & Resorts Group Limited on the acquisition of Aman Resorts, a leading international luxury hotel group, from DLF Global Hospitality Limited, a subsidiary of listed Indian property developer DLF ltd. The transaction  attached an enterprise value of approximately US $360 million to the Aman Resorts portfolio which is held through a holding company, Silverlink Resorts Limited.

The transaction called for expertise from across Ogier's BVI practice, including significant input from our finance, private client and trusts teams as well as the corporate and commercial team, and demonstrated the strength and depth of Ogier's offering in the BVI.

Aman Resorts has luxury properties around the world, including in Bhutan, France, Greece, India, Indonesia, Italy, Laos, Montenegro, Morocco, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Turkey, the Turks and Caicos Islands, the United States of America and Vietnam.

Ogier BVI expects to work further with Peak and its partners in the future on the implementation of the acquisition and their further plans for Aman.

The Ogier transaction team was lead by Managing Associate Michael Killourhy with Partner Ray Wearmouth. Senior Associate Christopher Newton advised on the BVI aspects of the financing arrangements for the acquisition, while Senior Associate Lawrie Kearns advised on BVI ownership and structuring matters.
