European PE makes a slow start to 2024 PE dealmaking in Europe declined in the first three months of the year as investors largely eschewed mega-deals in favor of smaller add-ons. Our Q1 2024 European PE Breakdown illustrates how overall deal value declined 37.2% from Q4 and 19.6% year-over-year. Exit activity was similarly lackluster. Nevertheless, the region had a record quarter for fundraising. A handful of final closes for mega-funds buoyed the total. Among them was EQT’s 10th flagship vehicle with €22 billion (about $23.36 billion)—accounting for more than a third of all Europe PE capital raised in Q1.

We are delighted to share that ABACON CAPITAL welcomes the takeover offer's acceptance and is excited about the future collaboration with KKR and Viessmann to further enhance Encavis AG. With the minimum acceptance threshold of 54.3%, this marks a significant milestone for Encavis, propelling us toward accelerated growth and innovation. Our partnership aims to strengthen Encavis' position as a leading independent power producer in Europe. With the support of KKR and Viessmann, we will expand our portfolio, enhance our expertise, and explore new markets. Together, we are committed to investing in technology diversification and bolstering Encavis' project pipeline, ensuring substantial growth across all segments. We look forward to working closely with our new partners to build an even more robust and dynamic Encavis and to advancing our shared vision of a sustainable energy future. #ABACONCAPITAL #KKR #Viessmann #Encavis #Takeover #Growth #RenewableEnergy #Partnership #SustainableFuture https://lnkd.in/dhttMwZt

Bluestarcapital™ PLC (AIM:BLU) shares started higher again on Wednesday, after the company raised sufficient funds to cover its capital needs through until September. It comes after Tuesday’s portfolio update which reported on key developments at a number of investee companies and encouraged investors. Today, Blue Star revealed it had raised £100,000 before expenses by placing 100 million new ordinary shares, priced at 0.1p each. The fundraise will bolster the company's working capital, supporting its ongoing operations and strategy until September 2024, the company said in a statement. This small raise aligns with the company's forecast monthly cash burn rate and its plans to dispose of its shareholding in SatoshiPay.
