Berlin-based bmp Media Investors has reached an agreement allowing it to fully exit Nokaut.pl, the e-commerce platform which has been part of the bmp portfolio since early 2006. The firm will sell its 34.26% stake to TFI Investors’ LBO fund for a price of PLN 5.4 million. The deal is contingent upon the conditions of precedent, including due diligence and the approval of shareholders from both companies. Completion is expected by the end of February.
