Item 8.01
Other Events.

On December 15, 2017 Covanta Holding Corporation (“Covanta”) entered into arrangements with Green Investment Group Limited (“GIG”), a subsidiary of Macquarie Group Limited to form a strategic partnership to develop, fund and own Energy-From-Waste projects in the U.K. and Ireland. This partnership will be structured as a 50:50 joint venture (“JV”) between Covanta and GIG and creates a platform to develop waste infrastructure projects, including their existing combined pipeline of 6 projects and early stage developments. As an initial step, GIG will invest in the Dublin project through the JV with Covanta to receive proceeds of €136 million which will be available to fund Covanta’s investment needs in connection with the JV’s development pipeline. The investment in Dublin is subject to customary conditions, and is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2018.

For further information on these arrangements, see Covanta’ press release dated December 18, 2017 attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.”
