Ceconomy is to acquire a 21.62% stake in the subsidiary from the Kellerhals family’s vehicle Convergenta for a total of about 815 million euros ($990 million) in Ceconomy shares, convertible bonds and cash.
As a result, Convergenta will become an anchor shareholder of Ceconomy with a stake of 25.9% stake, which could be increased further via conversion of the new convertible bonds. Convergenta’s intention is to be a long-term shareholder with a stake of up to 29.9%, the company said.
