Nordic Capital reopens blocks market with Skr1bn Resurs sale

Nordic Capital has completed the first selldown of shares in Resurs Holding, the Swedish retail finance company, since its IPO in April 2016.

Carnegie and Morgan Stanley were bookrunners.

Launched shortly after the market close on Tuesday, after a wall-crossing exercise, the block of 17.5m shares was covered after 25 minutes.

At 5.40pm, a message said orders below Skr56 would likely miss out on allocations.

The deal went “very well,” said a banker involved. The block was multiple times covered by close and was priced at Skr56, a 5.1% discount to the closing price of Resurs on Monday. The deal size is therefore Skr980m (€103m).

Nordic Capital has a 35% stake in Resurs. As a result of the block trade, it will fall to around 26%.

Alongside Deutsche Wohnen’s €545m capital increase, the deal was one of the first block trades of significant size to be launched this week as the US Presidents' Day public holiday on Monday limited the possibility of any trades.

It is also the first block sale of Resurs stock by Nordic Capital since its Skr3.8bn IPO in April 2016, according to Dealogic. Both Carnegie and Morgan Stanley were global coordinators on that deal, alongside Goldman Sachs. SEB was a bookrunner.

Founded in 1977, Resurs offers payments, consumer loans and insurance products through about 1,200 retail finance partners. It has around 5m customers in the Nordic countries.

Resurs closed at Skr54.50 on Wednesday, down 7.7% from Tuesday’s close. The company has a market cap of Skr11.8bn (€1.25bn).
