CapMan Press Release 1 July 2008
Funds managed by CapMan have announced the sale of their stake in Swedish IT company Spintop Netsolution AB to Atea Sverige AB. The exit does not impact on CapMan Plc’s result for 2008 as the exiting funds CapMan Equity VII A, C and Sweden have not yet begun to generate carry.
Spintop delivers products and services which streamline the client’s IT infrastructure management. The CapMan funds invested in the company in May 2006.
“Spintop has grown substantially and has reached proof of concept for both its business model and its products during our investment period. The company is now ready for its next step and has a strong strategic fit with Atea-Ementor, where it can benefit from Ementors’s large geographic scope and extensive customer base for finding new business opportunities”, says CapMan’s Investment Director Julia Reuszner.
The investment in Spintop has been good for investors in the funds managed by CapMan.
