CapMan exits Esperi Care to ICG

The exit comes six years after CapMan Buyout took a majority stake in the company through an SBO from a consortium of PE owners led by Unicus.

CapMan's listed entity will receive €6.1m of cashflow from the sale of Esperi, with a positive impact of €1.4m on its 2016 financials. Its stake was held in the GP's most recent vehicle: the 2009-vintage, €294.6m CapMan Buyout IX fund.

The deal is expected to close this summer, subject to approval by the Finnish regulator.
