Advent International bought Cobham plc (the UK parent company) a few years ago, and the intention for the Australian business units was always to split them up and sell them off. The sale of Special Mission is purely the third and final step in the process, after the NJE sale to Rex and NJS going to QF a couple of years ago.
That was always the plan once Cobham was acquired by a US private equity firm back in 2020.
Great minds!
