said EasyJet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">EasyJet said the takeover interest came at a time when its share price had been pushed down by concerns about the consequences of the Iran war.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The FTSE 250 firm&#8217;s shares had dropped by about 30% over the past year, before news of Castlelake&#8217;s interest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">EasyJet said it remained &#8220;concerned&#8221; about Castlelake&#8217;s ownership structure and ability to deliver any offer, adding the investor would need to provide &#8220;satisfactory assurances and commitments&#8221; on those issues.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Castlelake has assets under management worth $36bn (\u00a327.3bn).<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Under the deal, EasyJet would be 49% owned by Castlelake and co-investors including Brookfield Asset Management, and 51% owned by individual European Union investors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\"><b class=\"ssrcss-1xjjfut-BoldText e5tfeyi3\">Do you have a story suggestion for Beds, Herts or Bucks?
