Diagnostyka SAMidEuropa fund to seek another IPO opportunity after Diagnostyka success
Following listed medical diagnostic service provider Diagnostyka's successful IPO, MidEuropa fund will take a closer look at the possibility of pursuing additional similar transaction, partner at MidEuropa Matthew Strassberg told PAP Biznes.
"The success of this transaction (Diagnostyka's IPO - PAP) opens our eyes to the validity of exiting via the stock exchange and that investors can understand such a strategy and accept it," said Strassberg.
MidEuropa sold its entire stake of 16,147,124 shares in Diagnostyka.
The IPO was well-received, with shares priced at PLN 105 (EUR 25.06).
Strassberg noted the fund seeks mid-cap companies for equity investments of EUR 50-200 million as a controlling or co-controliing party and is interested in healthcare, business services, and consumer services sectors.
