Under the proposal, **KKR** and Energy Capital Partners would pay **£65.25** per share in cash, plus a final dividend of £1.47 and an extra cash payment of up to £1.25 if **DCC** sells its technology arm Nexora. Aviva Investors and Fidelity International argued the bid undervalued the group’s long‑term prospects, but the board highlighted a 36% premium over the three‑month VWAP and argued the deal offers cash certainty and value not achieved in the public market. **DCC** operates off‑grid energy solutions, service stations and fleet services mainly in Europe and the US, and had set a 2030 profit target of £830m. The board said delivering that ambition would need organic growth and strategic M&A, and that the offer represents an attractive premium for shareholders. The approval comes amid a series of high‑profile takeovers and a decline in IPO activity, making the deal a notable event for the London market.
