Ropes & Gray has advised Nordic Capital, a leading private equity investor in the Nordic region, on the closing of its milestone €2.5bn continuation vehicle for its seventh fund. The innovative secondary transaction is the world’s largest ever GP-led secondaries deal. Ropes & Gray advised Nordic Capital alongside Kirkland & Ellis and Carey Olsen.
The transaction involved the transfer of nine unlisted portfolio companies, with a combined enterprise value of €4.4 bn, from Nordic Capital’s 2008 vintage fund, Fund VII, into a new vehicle, Nordic Capital CV1. The transaction provides Nordic Capital Fund VII portfolio companies with the opportunity to maximise their value creation potential over the next five years.
The Ropes & Gray team was led by investment funds partner Matt Judd, in London.
