Byggmästaren frees up SEK 525m in Safe Life transaction amid Bridgepoint partnership
Byggmästaren announced on Friday that it will unlock SEK 525m in liquidity via a transaction in which Bridgepoint will become the new majority owner of Safe Life, through a combination of primary capital injection and acquisition of existing shares. Following completion, Byggmästaren’s stake will decrease from ~30% to ~12% in a recapitalised Safe Life. The transaction values Safe Life approximately 15% above Byggmästaren’s last reported value, implying an EV of SEK ~5.5bn. Closing is expected in late Q3, subject to regulatory approvals. Since Byggmästaren’s initial investment in 2020 (total investment of SEK 264m), Safe Life has grown from SEK ~60m in sales to SEK ~2.5bn in annual pro forma sales. Safe Life continues to see significant growth opportunities, and Byggmästaren intends to remain a committed shareholder and partner in its ongoing development.
