DBAG increases Homag stake

The listed GP and its co-investment funds bought the extra shares from the Wehrmann family. DBAG will hold a 21.1% stake following the transaction alongside its funds, which will own 19.4% of the company. The GP paid €12.06 per share for this latest transaction.

DBAG first invested in Homag in 1997, before listing the company in 2007. The GP has enjoyed a positive return on its investment to date, following the €214m flotation and dividend payouts.

The GP expects its previous disagreements with the Schuler-Klesmann shareholder pool to be resolved in time, it said in a statement. DBAG and Schuler-Klesmann are the two largest shareholders in the business.
