Silgan forms metal packaging partnership with AIP affiliate; Trivium purchase pending
On October 17, 2026, Silgan and its subsidiary Silgan Holdings LLC agreed to form a partnership with A-VL Holdco, LP, an investment vehicle affiliated with funds managed by AIP, LLC, in which Silgan's Metal Containers and Closures Business would be contributed to a new entity, MetalCo. The partnership is also linked to MetalCo's proposed purchase of Trivium Packaging B.V., which the filing describes as subject to a put option and consultation processes. The closing is subject to conditions, including the concurrent Trivium closing, so shareholders will not see a completed transaction until those conditions are met.
Key points
- A-VL Investor will contribute $1.025 billion in cash to MetalCo for 40% of its Class A voting units; Silgan will receive 60% of those units and a distribution of $2.263 billion, less any New Silgan Debt amount.
- Silgan may incur up to $1.0 billion of new debt before the closing, which MetalCo would assume.
- MetalCo has a put option to buy 100% of Trivium shares for a cash payment of approximately $327.5 million, plus assumption of approximately $3.1 billion of Trivium debt, exercisable after required consultations with an outside date of nine
- The Transaction Agreement can be terminated if closing has not occurred by October 15, 2027.
