The land of opportunity?
Article Abstract:
The largest German buyout from January 1995 to May 1998 was Siemen's 251 million pounds sterling sale of dental equipment firm Sirona Dental Systems to a management buyout team lead by Schroder Ventures. The German buyout market has benefitted from an increase in existing opportunities which has driven up the number of shareholders. The market is growing in confidence and taking on methods used in UK and US deals, making it less risky for investors.
