HgCapital Trust has announced that it and other institutional clients of HgCapital will re-invest in Visma Group Holdings (Visma), which it describes as a leading provider of mission-critical business software to SMBs in the Nordic region. The transaction follows a decision by KKR to sell its holding in the group. HgCapital, the trust’s manager, is to be the lead investor in the new transaction structure, alongside Cinven, GIC, Montagu, ICG and the management team at Visma. HgCapital says that the transaction places an enterprise value on Visma of NOK45 billion (£4.2 billion / $5.3 billion) making it Europe’s largest ever software buyout.

HgCapital Trust will realise is stake via HgCapital 6

HgCapital Trust says that, as part of the transaction, it will be realising its stake via the HgCapital 6 vintage which will return estimated proceeds of £33.7 million to HgCapital Trust. It also says that, when combined with the existing stake in Visma which would be revalued to £78.9 million as a result of this transaction, this represents an uplift of £32.2 million (40%) or 86 pence per share over the carrying value of £80.4 million in the Net Asset Value at 31 May 2017. HgCapital Trust is to contribute a total of £13.5 million to the re-investment in Visma via its commitment to invest alongside HgCapital 7. It says that this will bring its total investment in Visma to £92.4 million, including £38.4 million in co-investment.

£186m of £200m commitment to HgCapital 7 now invested

Following completion, approximately £186 million of the £200 million commitment made by the Company in 2013 will have been invested in thirteen companies, alongside the HgCapital 7 Fund. In December 2016, the Company committed to invest up to £350 million in mid-cap companies, with the HgCapital 8 Fund, over the next four to five years. In February 2017, the Company committed to invest up to £80 million in smaller-cap companies, with HgCapital’s Mercury 2 Fund.

Further liquid resources for deployment

Based on the pro-forma 31 May 2017 reported NAV, (including all announced transactions and the impact of the revaluation of the carried interest provision), the pro-forma NAV of the Trust is expected to be £649.2 million (or 1,739.4 pence per share). The Company’s liquid resources available for future deployment, including all announced transactions, are estimated to be £157 million (24% of the pro-forma 31 May 2017 NAV). In addition, the Company has access to an £80 million standby facility, which is currently undrawn. The transaction will reduce the Company’s outstanding commitments to invest in HgCapital deals over the next four to five years to approximately £461 million.
