Ratos in DKK 380m buyout of Oase Outdoors

The GP will inject DKK 150m in equity as part of the transaction.

The buyout provides a partial exit for Oase's founding Arens family, which will remain as a minority investor. Family member and CEO Henrik Arens will retain a combined 20% stake post-buyout, alongside management and key employees.

Ratos's announcement comes in the same month the private equity firm fired CEO Susanna Campbell, and 15-year veteran and deputy CEO Henrik Blomé tendered his resignation.
