\tOn 22 June the international consortium, which includes the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), one of the leading asset management groups in the Baltic states Invalda INVL and Ukrainian private equity manager Horizon Capital, signed a Pre-Contract with the Moldovan Agency for Public Property regarding the participation of the consortium in the auction to acquire a stake of 41.09% in the largest Moldovan bank Moldova-Agroindbank (MAIB).<\/p>\n
\tThe international consortium, operating through a newly established company in the United Kingdom HEIM Partners, has committed to make an offer to acquire MAIB shares.<\/p>\n
\tThe minimum price for the stake of 41.09% of MAIB shares is over 450 million Moldovan lei (at the current exchange rate – EUR 23 million).<\/p>\n
\tThe auction to sell MAIB shares should take place over the course of the next few months. There is no guarantee that the international consortium will win the auction since it will also be open to other participants.<\/p>\n
\tAs announced previously, the National Bank of Moldova issued the permission for the international consortium, which includes Invalda INVL, to acquire MAIB shares on 20 June.<\/p>\n
\tInvalda INVL, through a 100% owned subsidiary MD Partners has a 37.5% stake in HEIM Partners, EBRD also has 37.5%, Horizon Capital – 25%.<\/p>\n
\tTo implement the transaction, Invalda INVL will also aim to raise funds from private investors through a newly established specialised venture capital fund by INVL Asset Management. As a result, Invalda’s INVL share in the equity of MD Partners might decrease, however, it is planned that Invalda INVL will retain at least 50% of MD Partners equity.<\/p>\n
\tMoldova-Agroindbank is the largest commercial bank in Moldova. Assets of the bank at the end of 2017 amounted to EUR 1.078 billion, equity was EUR 180 million.<\/p>\n
\tInvalda INVL group’s companies have more than EUR 600 million of assets under management, entrusted to them by over 190 thousand clients in Lithuania and Latvia as well as international investors.<\/p>\n
