Plantasjen is acquiring SABA Blommor AB

Ratos

Ratos’s subsidiary Plantasjen is acquiring SABA Blommor AB, one of the leading service providers of in-store solutions for flowers in Sweden. With over 700 points of sales across the country, mostly in the grocery segment, the acquisition propels Plantasjen’s journey from garden center into a leading brand for plants.

Plantasjen is strengthening its position through the acquisition of SABA Blommor AB from SABA Logistics, a Dole Food Company. The company has approximately 160 employees, and an annual turnover of approximately SEK 330m. With the acquisition Plantasjen’s offer leaps from 40 garden centers to over 700 points of sales.

“Through combining SABA’s more than 700 points of sales and competence as a leading supplier of flowers to the grocery segment, with Plantasjen’s industry leading supply-chain and know-how of plants, we will increase the availability for our customers. The acquisition is an important part of our strategy to create a unique offering with an outstanding supply-chain and increased market presence for more people to enjoy life with plants,” says Plantasjen’s CEO Jon Abrahamsson Ring.

In addition, SABA is not present in Norway and Finland where grocery sales of plants are less developed but fast growing which provides additional opportunities for Plantasjen’s growth going forward.

The acquisition is subject to approval by the relevant authorities and is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2017

Joining forces to challenge the dominating grocery chains

Merger plans between Adams Matkasse and Godtlevert.no in Norway: Joining forces to challenge the dominating grocery chains

Merger plans between Adams Matkasse and Godtlevert.no in Norway: Joining forces to challenge the dominating grocery chains

The two online dinner bag providers, Adams Matkasse and Godtlevert.no are joining forces and intend to finalize a merger. With this, they will be able to challenge the three dominating grocery chains in Norway.
“Both Adams and Godtlevert.no have since the start had a strong ambition and desire to increase the competition in the Norwegian grocery market. Through this merger, we will become a real contender to the established grocery chains”, says the Godtlevert.no founder Kjetil Graver. He is convinced that the merger will result in substantial cost synergies, which is crucial to compete against the grocery chains’ scale advantages.Kjetil Graver and his co-founders are now merging the company they established in 2010 with the Bergen-based dinner bag provider Adams Matkasse. The shareholders of Godtlevert.no will receive shares in Linas Matkasse as payment. Linas Matkasse, a company backed by the Norwegian private equity firm Herkules Capital, owns more than 90% of Adams Matkasse.Adams Matkasse and Godtlevert.no have an annual revenue base of NOK 330 and 390 million and close to 25 000 and 30 000 customers respectively. The two brands will continue to operate as separate concepts, and resources will be committed to further strengthen and enhance the two brands.Adams Matkasse has 74 employees, while Godtlevert.no employs about 65 people. Both companies have during the last years focused heavily on finding local suppliers across the country who have a great sense of traditional heritage. This has contributed to additional growth and has increased employment at several smaller food suppliers outside the larger cities.

“Our disruptive business model is based on excluding expensive intermediaries like the large wholesalers. Instead, we offer high quality products delivered directly from the manufacturers. These quality conscious and traditional suppliers are too small to get shelf space at the large grocery chains. Thus, the merger will provide these manufacturers with a much greater opportunity to reach a national audience”, says Managing Director at Adams Matkasse, Veslemøy Tvedt Fredriksen.

With this transaction, Herkules takes another big bite of the Nordic grocery market. In 2015,  Herkules acquired 35% of the shares of Linas Matkasse. Linas will own 100% of the newly merged company.

“This transaction fits into our long-term strategy to focus on the grocery market both in Norway and internationally. We feel that this structure and business model can credibly challenge the established players and make money at the same time. Herkules can contribute with both growth capital and considerable industry knowledge”, says Sverre B. Flåskjer Managing Partner at Herkules Capital.

The merger is subject to approval from the Norwegian competition authority.

BerGenBio heads for IPO

Investinor

Investinor’s portfolio company BerGenBio announces its intention to launch an Initial Public Offering and apply for a listing on Oslo Stock Exchange.

Completion of the IPO will be subject to receiving the relevant approvals from Oslo Børs as well as prevailing equity capital market conditions.

Read the full announcement at OSE’s website.

BerGenBio is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing a pipeline of first-in-class drug candidates to treat multiple aggressive cancers.

The Company has pioneered the research and understanding of the central role of Axl kinase in a broad range of aggressive cancers that spread, avoid the immune system and are resistant to existing
drugs. Tumours with these characteristics are the cause of the majority of cancer deaths.

BerGenBio is developing a number of Axl kinase inhibitors, which represents a novel approach to address the key mechanisms leading to tumours becoming malignant and
aggressive. This approach presents the Company with an opportunity to create new therapeutic options for cancer patients.

The Company is also developing a pipeline of additional Axl inhibitors, including an anti-Axl kinase antibody and antibody drug conjugate (ADC), which are currently in preclinical stage.

In addition, BerGenBio is developing companion diagnostics to identify cancer patients whose tumours express Axl kinase and are therefore more likely to respond to treatment
with Axl inhibitors.

Richard Godfrey, CEO of BerGenBio, commented:

”BerGenBio is pioneering a new approach to treating aggressive cancers based on its deep understanding of Axl biology. Our lead compound, BGB324, the only highly selective Axl
inhibitor in clinical development, has already delivered encouraging clinical data in patients with AML/MDS and NSCLC, indicating it could provide an important new improved treatment option for these indications.

The clinical collaboration with MSD announced today will allow us to assess BGB324 in combination with its immune checkpoint inhibitor KEYTRUDA. Our
planned IPO will provide BerGenBio with the funds needed to develop BGB324 through to regulatory trials and to generate significant value for shareholders. We will continue to
evaluate the optimal strategy for further development and commercialisation of BGB324, either alone or in conjunction with partners.”

Stein H. Annexstad, Chairman of the Board, commented:

“The IPO is a natural next step in the Company’s development that will help it secure a broader, long-term shareholder base. In addition, the listing will enhance BerGenBio’s
visibility among potential partners, ensure organised and regulated trading of the shares as well as provide access to the capital markets.”

Offering Highlights
The IPO will comprise a public offering to institutional and retail investors in Norway and Sweden, and a private placement to certain institutional investors internationally. The largest
existing shareholder has indicated that it will offer strong support through the IPO of the Company.

ABG Sundal Collier, Arctic Securities and DNB Markets are acting as Joint Global Coordinators and Joint Bookrunners in the IPO.

3i to invest €120m in Lampenwelt to support international expansion

3i Group plc – link to home page

3i Group plc (“3i”) today announces that it has agreed to invest €120m in Lampenwelt, the largest European online specialist in the lighting space. 3i will invest alongside management and one of the current owners of the business, Walter Neumüller. In addition, 3i will provide a short term refinancing loan to Lampenwelt of €54 million which is expected to be refinanced shortly after completion.

Founded in 2004 by Thomas Rebmann and his brother Andreas Rebmann, Lampenwelt is the #1 specialty online retailer of lighting products in Europe. The company is headquartered in Schlitz near Frankfurt am Main, Germany. From there, it distributes own-brand and 3rd party products to customers in 12 countries across Europe. Following the transaction, the company will retain its global headquarters in Schlitz and will continue with its plans to open a new warehouse in Schlitz in the coming months.

Lampenwelt differentiates itself from its competitors through an extensive range of over 45,000 products, in-depth product knowledge, excellent customer service and high product availability. The company generated €61m of sales in 2016, of which 45% came from outside Germany, and has grown strongly in Germany and through a steady roll-out across Europe in recent years.

3i has been following Lampenwelt’s successful growth for several years and during 2016 approached the company to discuss a potential investment in the business. 3i was therefore able to undertake its diligence outside of a formal sale process, with full access to the business and senior management. Lampenwelt’s growth plans fit well with 3i’s strategy of supporting mid-sized companies to grow internationally.

Peter Wirtz, Managing Director, 3i Germany, commented:
“We are investing in a successful company with strong growth potential. We believe there are significant opportunities for Lampenwelt to further expand internationally and build on its best-in-class digital and online marketing capabilities. We are looking forward to working with the excellent management team to realise these ambitions.”

Thomas Rebmann, CEO of Lampenwelt, added:
“We are delighted to be partnering with 3i for the next stage in our growth story. 3i has extensive experience in the consumer sector and an impressive network which will help us enlarge our footprint in Europe.”

Walter Neumüller, current co-owner of Lampenwelt, commented:
“As the owners of Lampenwelt, we originally had an investment horizon beyond 2020. However, after its direct approach, 3i convinced us that as an experienced investor they would be able to strongly support Lampenwelt in its ongoing internationalisation efforts. There is a strong cultural fit between Lampenwelt and 3i and I am glad to be able to guarantee continuity both as a co-shareholder and as a member of the Lampenwelt Board also going forward.”

Jochen Wilms, a seasoned expert in both the building supply and online industries with prior experience at Bertelsmann, Schüco and Grohe, will join the board as Executive Chairman and co-invest alongside 3i and management. Thomas and Andreas Rebmann will continue in their roles as CEO and COO respectively.

The transaction is subject to customary and anti-trust approvals.

Metronet (UK) targets superfast London growth with acquisition of Venus Business Communications

Metronet

Metronet (UK), the UK’s fastest growing connectivity and internet infrastructure provider, backed by mid-market private equity firm Livingbridge, today announces its acquisition of Venus Business Communications, a leading high growth fibre network provider.

The acquisition of Venus follows Metronet (UK)’s £47.5m purchase of leading internet infrastructure and hosting company M247 in October 2016. Venus will provide the Group with access to the strategically important London market as it seeks to build a national disruptive platform with ‘last mile’ control, faster connectivity and communications to end users and a powerful transit network across Europe.

Venus will add six new strategically important datacentres to the Group’s network so that, following the acquisition, Metronet (UK)’s network is now connected to all key strategic UK data centre locations as well as 14 of the world’s largest and most important Internet Exchanges.

Founded in 2005 by telecoms entrepreneurs Brian Iddon and Justin Keery, Venus covers all of central London and the City, providing superfast, high speed fibre at up to 10 gigabit/sec, almost 100 times quicker than the leading alternative broadband connection. Venus is delivering revenues of £7.8m and supplies companies across a range of sectors including design, media, broadcast and financial services who place a particularly high value on low latency communications.

Metronet (UK) operates the most advanced hybrid ISP network in the UK and, by combining its unique offering of wireless and wired technology, is able to offer scalable connectivity solutions that are typically implemented five times quicker than traditional fibre and copper based services. As an organisation, it prides itself on connecting businesses through innovative, integrated technology for enhanced productivity. It does this through a number of complementary products and services, including; connectivity, hosting, voice and security; enabling businesses to access the tools they need to succeed on a 24/seven basis.

The combined Group will now employ around 230 people across six sites including Manchester, Newcastle, London and Bucharest. It will support almost 34,000 customers across 92 countries, from SMEs to Enterprise clients including Intu, On The Beach, Sofology and ao.com, and deliver revenues of nearly £50m.

Livingbridge first invested in Metronet (UK) in June 2014 as part of a £45m secondary buyout of the firm. Follow on funding to support the Group’s acquisition strategy and the investment in Venus has been made by the Livingbridge 5 fund.

Matthew Caffrey, Partner at Livingbridge, said:
“The acquisition of Venus neatly complements Metronet’s existing capabilities and will enable the business to build a world class wireless network in London on top of Venus’ core transit and last mile fibre capability. Metronet’s national services now include connectivity applications across the wireless and fibre spectrums as well as voice, security and hosting and we are very excited about the Group’s continued growth prospects.”

Lee Perkins, Chief Executive at Metronet (UK), said:
“Venus is a fantastic business which has established itself as a leading player in the London market thanks to its market leading levels of speed and reliability. Just as importantly, Venus has the same entrepreneurial and customer-centric culture as us so I have no doubt that it will be an excellent fit with our business.”

Brian Iddon, Director and Founder at Venus, said:
“I am immensely proud of the business we have built over the past 12 years and am excited about what we will be able to achieve as part of the Group’s wider offer. I have known Lee and the team for a number of years and feel that Metronet are the perfect fit for us as we look to build on the strong momentum we have generated to date.”
