Release 1.0 Webcaprisk Servicios S.L. is the owner of www.webcapitalriesgo.com - 2 - WEBCAPITALRIESGO INTRODUCTION The Private Equity activity in Spain has experienced very difficult times in recent years. The crash of Lehman Brothers and the subprime crisis largely complicated the activity of PE firms, which had to focus even more in the management of investee firms. It has been a very difficult task to ob- tain the funding needed to complete a new Buyout. It also was not the right moment to divest, with stock markets closed and industrial investors trying to balance their accounts. The pantry was beginning to be empty and funds had to think about starting to raising money for their new vehi- cles, with the risk premium at a maximum level and the threat of a bail out. After a long journey in the desert local player started to convince limited partners that PE remained as a profitable finan- cing alternative in Spain. The Spanish economy was gradually soaring and foreign investors showed again its confidence in the country. Even though some PE firms disappeared, many of them withstood the pressure and continued to provide value to their portfolio firms. A priceless experience that started to show posi- tive results in 2014, and continues in 2015, with the opening of an extraordinary divestment period in Spain. This report details the keys of the divestment activity and its connection with the fundraising and investment activity. The Time for Private Equity divestments in Spain report includes: interviews (only in the Spanish version), insights on activity1, list of active investors and links to 148 related news2.
