H.I.G. Capital secures majority stake in Terras Group with AI-related clauses
What happened
H.I.G. Capital acquired a majority stake in Terras Group, a German-headquartered provider of infrastructure engineering and construction services, on October 1, 2026. The loan backing this acquisition, valued at $524 million, includes force majeure-style clauses that allow companies to pause addressing defaults if they are caused by AI disruption. Creditors have argued that these provisions extend grace periods and undermine basic lending premises.
