Summary
Ireland-listed energy distributor DCC Energy said on Friday, October 9, 2026, that it would sell its technology division, Nexora, to private equity firm One Equity Partners at a total enterprise value of $725 million on a cash- and debt-free basis, according to Reuters. The transaction is expected to complete on or after March 1, 2027, subject to regulatory approvals, DCC said in a statement.
The sale is tied to DCC's pending takeover by a consortium of US private equity firms KKR and Energy Capital Partners, agreed in July at £5.75 billion ($7.61 billion). Under the revised terms, DCC shareholders will receive an additional 42 pence per share on top of the existing KKR-led offer. That extra consideration depends on the Nexora regulatory conditions being satisfied by July 31, 2027; if they are not met, the additional payment will be zero.
The divestment represents DCC's exit from the technology sector, roughly two years after the company signaled a strategic focus on its more profitable energy business. Publications covering the deal described Nexora as a long-standing part of the DCC Group, and coverage characterized the transaction as a private equity exit for One Equity Partners.
