Summary
The acceptance period is expected to begin on 2 November and run until 4 December 2026, with settlement scheduled for 18 December, subject to the conditions of the transaction. According to the announcement, Bankinter Investment and GMA, the hotel-sector management partner, have each expressed interest in individually retaining stakes above 5.0%, which the parties say will ensure management continuity and support value creation for new and remaining shareholders.
ATOM recently sold the AC Sevilla Forum hotel for €13.5 million. It has also strengthened its balance sheet through a €230 million bilateral financing agreement with one of Spain's leading banks. The seven-year facility has 80% of principal repaid at maturity and is intended to refinance and optimise the debt maturity schedule. ATOM's portfolio comprises 20 hotels with more than 5,100 rooms, valued at €830.9 million, and generated approximately €44.4 million in gross rental income in 2025. Leases combine minimum guaranteed rents indexed to CPI with variable components linked to turnover. Value creation is expected to come from rental growth, selective capex, repositioning, and the maturation of recent investments in METT Barcelona, Meliá La Palma and Meliá Valencia.
ATOM was established in 2018 by Bankinter Investment and GMA with total capital of €327.6 million. Between 2018 and 2020 it acquired 28 hotels and at one point managed up to 32 assets. It has distributed more than €246 million to shareholders, over 75% of capital invested, and has invested more than €100 million in improvements and repositioning. According to the announcement, investors who have been in the vehicle since inception and accept the offer will achieve a multiple above 2.3 times their initial investment and a net IRR after fees of close to 12%, against a 9% target return.
