Sun Communities, Inc. said in a filing that it has completed the previously announced sale of its UK assets, including the Park Holidays business, to Panther Bidco Limited, an affiliate of Aermont Capital, in an all-cash transaction.
The company received net cash consideration of approximately $1.03 billion at closing, after customary locked-box adjustments and transaction costs. Proceeds from the sale are expected to be used primarily to repurchase shares, pay down debt and for general corporate purposes.
With the transaction complete, Sun is positioned as a pure-play North American manufactured housing and RV-focused owner and operator. CEO Charles Young thanked the Park Holidays team for their contributions and said the sale positions Sun to execute on its strategy of driving long-term growth through its North American MH and RV platform, backed by what he described as a flexible, low-leverage balance sheet.
Year-to-date through September 21, 2026, the company repurchased approximately 3.5 million shares of common stock for an aggregate amount of approximately $425 million.
Sun said it expects to provide an update to its full-year 2026 outlook, reflecting the completion of the transaction and related uses of proceeds, on its third quarter 2026 earnings call.
Lazard Frères & Co. LLC served as lead financial advisor to Sun, with BofA Securities, BMO Capital Markets, Citigroup, JP Morgan Securities LLC and Wells Fargo also acting as financial advisors. Jones Day and Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP served as legal advisors to Sun. Rothschild & Co and Macfarlanes advised Aermont on the deal.
As of June 30, 2026, Sun Communities owned, operated, or had an interest in 455 developed properties comprising approximately 156,130 developed sites in the United States and Canada.
