We have pleasure in informing you of the completion of the sale transaction of a 25% shareholding in the company Grupa Nowy Szpital Sp. z o.o. (GNS) – the largest private hospital chain in Poland. The shareholding sold belonged to Adam Roślewski, founder and hitherto owner of 50% of the company’s shares. The buyer is Marcin Szulwiński, co-owner. The purchaser structured the transaction as a management buy-in (MBI).
The transaction was financed entirely by a corporate bonds fund managed by Credit Value Investments. The transaction agreement envisages the potential sale of the remaining 25% shareholding, through alternative exit routes including a public offering (IPO). The parties have decided not to disclose the transaction value.
Holon was the transaction advisor to the selling party through the investor selection process, which also included discussions with trade investors and private equity funds.
This is the latest successfully completed capital transaction managed by Holon for GNS, after our team secured expansion financing in 2014 for the company, in the amount of 40 mln PLN, from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
