- Großes Interesse der Investoren
- Preis von 33 Euro je Aktie
- Platzierungsvolumen von 0,8 Mrd. Euro inkl. Mehrzuteilungsoption
- Bertelsmann bleibt strategischer Aktionär von Majorel
Das globale Customer-Experience-Unternehmen Majorel bringt im Zuge einer Privatplatzierung an der Euronext Amsterdam 23 Millionen existierende Aktien in den Handel, darin enthalten sind 3 Millionen Aktien aus der Mehrzuteilungsoption. Der Preis liegt bei 33 Euro pro Aktie. Majorel ist ein Venture von Bertelsmann und der Saham Group.
Thomas Rabe, Vorstandsvorsitzender von Bertelsmann, sagte: "Ich freue mich über die erfolgreiche Privatplatzierung von Majorel. Das große Interesse der Investoren und die anfängliche Bewertung des Unternehmens mit 3,3 Mrd. Euro sind Belege für die überzeugende Wachstumsstory von Majorel unter der Führung von Thomas Mackenbrock."
Bertelsmann wird nach der Platzierung 38,1 Prozent der Aktien von Majorel halten (39,6 Prozent ohne Mehrzuteilungsoption) und damit neben der Saham Group wichtiger strategischer Aktionär bleiben. Das Unternehmen wird weiterhin bei Bertelsmann konsolidiert. Durch die Privatplatzierung fließen Bertelsmann inkl. der Mehrzuteilungsoption Mittel in Höhe von 380 Mio. Euro zu.
Anfang September hatte Majorel seine Absicht bekanntgegeben, sich durch eine Privatplatzierung für den Kapitalmarkt zu öffnen. Majorel ist in 31 Ländern auf fünf Kontinenten aktiv und beschäftigt mehr als 63.000 Mitarbeitende. Majorel erbringt Dienstleistungen für weltweit mehr als 400 Kunden, darunter mehrere globale Tech-Unternehmen.
