Arab Finance: EFG Hermes’ investment banking division has successfully wrapped up advisory on the UAE-based Electra Investment Holding’s $449 million acquisition of a 19.98% stake in Elsewedy Electric, according to a press release.
EFG Hermes was the sole financial advisor and broker for the transaction.
In May, Electra submitted a voluntary tender offer to acquire up to 24.5% of Elsewedy Electric at a purchase price of $1.05 per share.
“This deal together with our current pipeline of transactions reflects investor interest for opportunistically pursuing acquisitions of market leading corporates,” Maged El Ayouti, Co-Head of Investment Banking of EFG Hermes, commented.
