Centaurus Capital is believed to have increased its stake in supermarket group Ahold. The private equity firm, which until now held a 4% stake (EUR 400m), is not the only investor increasing its stake in the firm. US-based Paulson, for example, is also understood to have acquired a stake of less than 5%.

It is understood that the investors are looking into a potential split-up of the company which currently is made up of three divisions. These divisions are reportedly lacking in synergy advantages.

The future of Ahold has been a source of debate for some time now. UK-based supermarket Tesco and KKR are also among those mentioned as potential purchasers of the Dutch supermarket.
