Breaking News on Maccaferri Debt Position
Apollo Global Management improved again its bid for SECI, the holding through which the Maccaferri Family owns the eponymous diversified industrial group. Apollo made a bid of 215 million euros for repaying Maccaferri’s senior debt and bond and 15% of the unsecured liabilities. SECI’s debt amounts to 750 million and also attracted the interest of Europa Investimenti which could pay up to 24% of unsecured debts. Europa Investimenti could convert in equity part of Maccaferri’s senior debits while the Family could keep a stake in SECI.
