Under the agreement, Oaktree will acquire a 27.5 per cent stake in Aecon Utilities through a convertible preferred equity investment.

Aecon will own a 72.5 per cent stake in Aecon Utilities once the deal closes.
The conversion value of the investment implies a $750-million enterprise value for Aecon Utilities.
