Fer­gu­son plc has sold Stark Group, its Nor­dics buil­ding mate­ri­als dis­tri­bu­ti­on busi­ness, to an affi­lia­te of Lone Star Funds, a glo­bal pri­va­te equi­ty firm, for €1,025 mil­li­on on a debt-free and cash-free basis. The tran­sac­tion is still sub­ject to appr­oval from the rele­vant com­pe­ti­ti­on aut­ho­ri­ties. Sub­ject to satis­fac­tion of this con­di­ti­on, the firm expect the tran­sac­tion to com­ple­te ear­ly in 2018. In the year ended 31 July 2016, Stark Group had reve­nues of 18.4 bil­li­on DKK and the pro­fit befo­re inte­rest and tax was 530 mil­li­on DKK. Head­quar­te­red in Zug, Switz­er­land, Fer­gu­son is a mul­ti­na­tio­nal hea­ting and plum­bing dis­tri­bu­tor with appro­xi­m­ate­ly 33,000 employees. On 1 August, 2017, the Com­pa­ny chan­ged its name from Wol­se­ley to Fer­gu­son, to reflect the United Sta­tes being the pre­do­mi­nant mar­ket. The Com­pa­ny is lis­ted on the Lon­don Stock Exch­an­ge and is a con­sti­tu­ent of the FTSE 100 Index. Prof. Dr. Alex­an­der Götz advi­sed the manage­ment of Stark Group with regard to its manage­ment par­ti­ci­pa­ti­on pro­gram. Along­side tra­di­tio­nal cor­po­ra­te finan­ce advi­so­ry man­da­tes, Alex­an­der Goetz has spe­cia­li­zed in pro­vi­ding mana­gers and pri­va­te equi­ty inves­tors with advice on the design of manage­ment equi­ty pro­grams.
