Message : Required fields (Reuters) - New Zealand's Tilt Renewables Ltd said on Monday it would be acquired by a consortium including its second-largest shareholder and Australia's AGL Energy Ltd for NZ$2.94 billion ($2.10 billion), sending its shares to an all-time high. The deal was the first major piece of M&A activity in New Zealand this year, which comes amid a push from companies and investors for decarbonisation and a move towards clean, renewable energy. Powering Australian Renewables (PowAR), a partnership between AGL, investment manager QIC and Australia's sovereign wealth fund, will buy Tilt's Australian business, while 19.9%-shareholder Mercury NZ Ltd will buy its New Zealand business.
