ARGUS Capital Partners II
ARGUS' second fund, ARGUS II, is a closed-ended Jersey based limited partnership which makes private equity investments in the Region. The Fund has commitments of EUR 263 million. ARGUS' first fund, which had commitments in excess of USD 170 million, is fully invested.
ARGUS II invests in the following Central and Eastern European countries: Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, FYR Macedonia, Montenegro, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Turkey.
The private equity provided by the Fund has been utilized:
- In buy-outs of non-core businesses of conglomerates or outright sales by owners in partnership with existing or new management teams working towards unlocking value and helping the company achieve its full potential;
- As financing for companies wishing to expand or restructure their businesses and simultaneously wanting to maintain strategic and financial flexibility, in partnership with the management and owners of the investee company;
- To assist companies that have not yet reached the critical mass required to float on the stock market or that wish to raise money when the public market conditions are not favourable, in preparation for a public market listing in partnership with management and other shareholders.
- In "roll-up" plays in fragmented industries that lend themselves to consolidation, in partnership with the existing management team and shareholders of a platform company in such industries or buy-in management teams with experience in such industries.
ARGUS has a demonstrated ability to complete complex transactions, such as buy-outs, mergers, and acquisitions, in a timely and professional manner. Moreover, we have deep experience in dealing with financial institutions to secure debt financing for leveraged deals and our investee companies. As several of the leading banks in the Region are investors in the Fund, ARGUS has ready access to multiple sources of debt financing.
