Syndication of minority stake of 7Star investment
CIP Merchant Capital is pleased to announce that, further to its announcement of 7 December 2018 regarding its investment in 7Star S.r.l. ("7Star"), a private Italian veterinary clinics chain, that it has now successful syndicated a minority stake of its aggregated investment in 7Star to certain investors ("Syndication").
Pursuant to the Syndication, the Company's investment in 7Star will be reduced by €1.70 million from, in aggregate, €6.11 million to €4.41 million. The resulting interest will be split €1.88 million as equity and €2.53 million as an interest free loan. Following the Syndication, the Company's economic interest in 7Star will therefore reduce from 49 per cent. to 35.4 per cent., though the Company will retain control of the voting rights over the shares transferred pursuant to the Syndication.
[Depending on the class tests further info on 7Star, including its financial results for 31 Dec 18, may need to be included.]
