OpCapita looks to buy Game Group
OpCapita has made an offer to acquire struggling video game retailer Game Group.
Rothschild was summoned to provide strategic advice with respect to the group's future decisions. While the initial proposal only considered a sale of the firm's European assets, it now concerns a sale of 100% of the company's assets.
A complete buyout would put OpCapita in a favorable position if it comes to a debt-to-equity swap.
After plumenting 64% on Monday, Game Group's shares regained momentum on Thursday. Shares opened at £2.20 today and have since risen around 65% in value.
Game Group employs 10,000 people worldwide, including 6,000 in the UK alone. It has a market capitalisation of £11.82m.
