30 dec 2020

Nordhaven advised Alma Media in the acquisition of 75% shareholding in digital housing transaction service DIAS Oy.

Founded in 2018, DIAS is a digital housing trading platform for the residential real estate market connecting buyers, sellers, real estate agents and banks. DIAS is one of the first distributed ledger technology (DLT) services to be completed in Finland. In 2020, the company’s turnover will amount to approximately EUR 2 million.

The purchase price is EUR 14.3 million (75.5% of the Enterprise Value). The parties have also agreed on a potential earn-out linked to the future development of DIAS’s business operations and profitability. Alma Talent acquired the shares from Tomorrow Tech, the co-founder and current majority shareholder of DIAS as well as the founding banks OP, Danske Bank A/S, Aktia Bank Abp and S-Pankki Oyj. After the transaction Alma Talent owns 80.5 per cent and the aforementioned banks retain 19.5 per cent of the company’s share capital.

The transaction was Nordhaven Finland’s twelfth announced M&A transaction in 2020 which positions us as the top M&A advisor in Finland measured by deal volume.
