CapMan sells Samsa to IK's Attendo

The deal provides an exit for the GP's CapMan Life Science IV fund, which took a 94% stake in Samsa – then SRK Konsultation – in October 2009.

No financial details were disclosed by either party, though CapMan said in a statement the sale generated €5.8m of cashflow to CapMan's listed entity from the GP's fund investments, and added around €1.6m to its 2016 financial results.

For Attendo, the bolt-on forms part of a dual acquisition that also sees the company acquire Finnish nursing home operator Onnentäyttymys.

Previous funding
Tapping its 2006-vintage €54m CapMan Life Science IV vehicle, CapMan took a majority stake in Samsa through an MBO in October 2009.
