Mandate Vinge assisted Patricia Industries

Vinge assisted Patricia Industries, a part of Investor AB, in connection with the financing of the acquisition of Piab Group AB from EQT.

The enterprise value amounts to SEK 6.95 bn. Patricia Industries expects to inject approximately SEK 5.5 bn. in equity for majority ownership of the company.

The acquisition is subject to approval by the relevant competition authorities. Closing is expected during the second quarter of 2018.
