Big boost in Spring dealflow
Nordic activity rebounded sharply in May as nine deals worth an estimated €1.4bn were recorded: more than double the volume, and more than four times the value of the previous month.
This market marks the ongoing dominance of Nordic Capital, who backed the Danish buyout of Sport-Master (€150-200m est) and the Finnish SBO of discount retailer Tokmanni Group (€250-500m est). Bain Capital is also still very active in the region with the SBO of Bravida, a business service provider ($1bn est).
In the mid-market, Altor bought out co-investor Bure Equity from bank and insurance businesses Carnegie & Max Mathiessen for around €70m. In the small-caps segment, Almi Invest provided expansion capital to Arkub for some €41.5m while PEQ and Norvestor announced two MBOs estimated to be < €25m each: Inlasningstjänst and Sortera.
