[Alpha Biz=(Chicago) Reporter Paul Lee] EQT Partners, a global private equity fund (PEF) operator, announced on June 6 that it has agreed to acquire a stake in SK shieldus.

The EQT infrastructure purchased both a portion of SK Square's stake and Macquarie Infrastructure Asset Management's stake and acquired additional new shares, making it the largest shareholder of SK shieldus (68.0%). SK Square will remain the second largest shareholder with a 32% stake.

With the deal, SK shieldus expects to provide digital security services tailored to each customer's needs thanks to EQT's sector expertise and digitization capabilities in physical and cyber security.
