PE-backed Cint announces intention to float
Nordic Capital-backed software company Cint has announced its intention to list on Nasdaq Stockholm.
The offering is expected to provide Cint with proceeds of approximately €75m, which it plans to use for future growth, for general corporate purposes and for opportunistic acquisitions.
The intention to float comes five years after the GP acquired the company via Nordic Capital Fund VIII. Partner Daniel Berglund said in a statement that since then, Cint had "grown fourfold and made significant investments in its technology platform, expanded into new markets and strengthened its organisation".
The listing is expected to be completed during the first half of 2021.
Carnegie and Danske Bank are acting as joint global coordinators, while ABG Sundal Collier, Jefferies and Nordea Bank are joint bookrunners.
