TA backs Söderberg & Partners in SEK 2.5bn share issue
Private equity firm TA Associates has re-invested in Swedish insurance broker Söderberg & Partners, having previously sold its stake to KKR.
The company has agreed to raise roughly SEK 2.5bn (€247m) via a share issue, all of which will be covered by TA Associates. According to Dagens Industri, the issue values Soderberg at SEK 23bn (€2.27bn).
TA said in a statement that the purpose of the share issue was to support Söderberg & Partners’ continued expansion in the Nordics and the Netherlands, as well as potential entries into new geographical markets.
The deal completion is subject to regulatory approval.
In 2019, KKR acquired a 50% stake in the company from investors including TA, in a deal that valued the company at €1bn. KKR will remain a minority shareholder after the new share issue.
TA partnered with S&P in 2014, providing extra capital for the bolt-on of Norwegian Broker and Norwegian Claims Link in exchange for a minority stake. The deal was valued at €54m, according to Unquote Data.
