Transaction Reports to merge with Ahlstrom division Legal advisor to EQT/Munksjö: Legal advisor to the debt provider: Financial advisors to EQT/Munksjö: Legal advisor to Ahlstrom: Enskilda Corporate Finance
In the merger of Munksjö AB with Ahlstrom’s Label and Processing Division we were advising Munksjö from the very beginning of the assignment both in terms of developing the idea and facilitating the actual transaction.
The transaction is a major move in paper industry consolidation as it is focused entirely on attractive niche specialty paper markets with underlying growth and becoming one of the global leaders in those technically demanding product markets.
The transaction is also challenging in the sense that it involves a de-merger of Ahlstrom Label and Processing from Ahlstrom Oyj, merger of Munksjö and Ahlstrom Label and Processing, de-merger of Ahlstrom’s Jacareí operations from Ahlstrom Oyj and integration into Munksjö and a new listing of Munksjö Oyj in Helsinki Stock Exchange.
We have a long standing relationship with Munksjö and their senior management making the execution of complex and challenging assingments possible and efficient.
This transaction has been a challenging but a very positive transaction for us this year as most of the projects we have been involved in this year has been restructuring of distressed forest industry assets in commodity businesses.
