Dubai:– Dentons has advised longstanding client, National Central Cooling Company PJSC (Tabreed) on its AED417 million (US$113.5 million) disposal of a 44% stake in Qatar District Cooling Company (Qatar Cool) to United Development Company. The proceeds of the transaction will be used to finance further growth of Tabreed’s portfolio in key markets.

Commenting on the transaction, Dubai partner and team co-lead, Iain Black said: "We are delighted to have been able to assist our longstanding client Tabreed on its successful divestment of these assets. We were able to support Tabreed on all aspects of the transaction through our market-leading expertise in our Qatar and UAE offices."
