Heliad Equity Partners GmbH & Co KGaA (ISIN: DE00A0L1NN5) could succeed its
strategy of a continuous optimization of its current investment portfolio.
Accordingly, three additional PE funds could be disposed over the past
weeks. Thus, Heliad reduces its open fund commitments by EUR 6.5 million.
The sales proceeds in the amount of above EUR 7 million equals an increase
of the current cash and equivalents accounts by 60 cents to EUR 3.45 per
share and therefore covers the entire market capitalization in the amount
of EUR 42 million. In the course of this sale, no write-offs had to take
place. The sales proceeds will be used for selective direct acquisitions of
additional portfolio companies.
'This disposal is a consistent ongoing process of the portfolio
optimization to focus on direct investments in the German Mittelstand. As
already started in 2008 the remaining funds will be continuously reviewed
for an economical reasonable disposal. The currently increased cash and
equivalents account to the amount of one time market cap opens up further
room for additional portfolio company acquisitions which we will see in the
upcoming quarters', says Christoph D. Kauter, Deputy CEO of Heliad Equity
Partners.
