Macfarlanes has advised the world's largest
corporate travel platform, American Express Global Business Travel
(Amex GBT), on the UK pensions aspects of its $6.3bn take-private
by Long Lake Management.
Under the terms of the transaction, Long Lake Management, a
newly formed entity backed by General Catalyst and Alpha Wave,
acquired outstanding shares of Amex GBT not already owned by
American Express for $9.50 per share in an all-cash transaction.
The acquisition will see the combination of Long Lake's AI
capabilities with Amex GBT's marketplace, customer
relationships and technology solutions. The transaction is expected
to close in the second half of 2026, subject to the satisfaction of
customary closing conditions.
The Macfarlanes team was led by Pensions Partner Faye Jarvis
alongside Senior Counsel Paul Lawrence.
