Ratos in partial exit from Bisnode

The divestment is in line with Bisnode's strategy to streamline its business and focus on growth within its core offering.

Ratos owns 70% of Bisnode, with Swedish family-owned Bonnier Group owning the remaining 30%. Ratos acquired its 70% stake in Bisnode in 2005 when Ratos portfolio company Infodata merged with Bonnier Business Information.

Bisnode completed a refinancing in February 2008, providing Ratos with a cash repayment of approximately SEK 605m.
