BARCELONA, Espanha, 15 de março de 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Foi concluída hoje a venda da Wall Street English (WSE) por USD$ 300 milhões pela Pearson para fundos afiliados à Baring Private Equity Asia (BPEA) e à CITIC Capital Holdings Limited (CITIC Capital), após todas as aprovações regulamentares necessárias para o negócio terem sido concedidas no início do ano.

A WSE representa uma oportunidade única de investimento para os dois novos proprietários. Com mais de 400 centros e 180 mil alunos em 28 países, a WSE tem uma plataforma escalável e de alta qualidade para capturar globalmente o crescimento do mercado de ensino de inglês para adultos. Com o futuro investimento visando à abertura do novo centro e o investimento contínuo no desenvolvimento de produtos, a BPEA e a CITIC Capital apoiarão a expansão da WSE em mercados de crescimento existentes, dentre eles a China e os novos mercados globais, através da expansão por franquias e financiamentos da WSE.

Em 27 de novembro de 2017, a BPEA e a CITIC Capital anunciaram sua intenção de adquirir a WSE por USD$ 300 milhões. Agora que a aprovação regulamentar foi concedida, os novos proprietários delinearam a estratégia de crescimento da WSE, que inclui um planejamento de cinco anos com ênfase em investimentos de capital para abrir novos centros, além de inovação em tecnologia e produtos.

David Kedwards, CEO global da Wall Street English, afirmou: "Com a aprovação final da aquisição e a conclusão da venda, alcançamos um marco importante na nova estrutura de propriedade. Nossos novos acionistas têm antecedentes e conhecimentos complementares, um histórico incomparável de investimentos em educação e compartilham nossa ambição de sólido crescimento em todo o mundo. Temos a visão de alavancar a nossa plataforma para impulsionar o crescimento e a melhoria contínuos em experiências de aprendizado novas e existentes. Este é um momento muito importante para a empresa".

O ano de 2017 testemunhou sólido desempenho nos negócios da WSE, com 22 novos centros abertos em oito países e bom crescimento das vendas na China, além de forte crescimento no lucro operacional subjacente. Nos últimos três anos, a WSE reforçou seu principal objetivo. O negócio está bem posicionado para expandir globalmente e responder rapidamente à dinâmica do mercado, às necessidades dos alunos e às mudanças tecnológicas mais rapidamente do que nunca.

David Kedwards acrescentou: "Estimamos que o mercado da língua inglesa seja avaliado em mais de USD$ 23 bilhões em receitas anuais que continuam crescendo, com previsão de dois bilhões de pessoas aprendendo inglês globalmente até 2020. Pretendemos aproveitar as oportunidades de mercado com investimentos para impulsionar crescimento adicional, especialmente na China, América do Sul, no Japão e na Índia".
