CVC will be investing in a minority shareholding with Premiership Rugby, marking the start of a new era for English professional club rugby.
The investment is expected to complete in the first quarter of 2019 and represents the latest commitment by CVC to the sports, media and entertainment sector – with the firm previously leading investments in Moto GP, Formula One, Stage Entertainment and Merlin Entertainments.
“I am confident this is a transformational deal for the Premiership clubs collectively, and for Saints specifically,” said White. “The future looks very exciting indeed.
