Moleskine could attract private equity bidders
Moleskine, the listed high-end Italian stationary producer, could attract bids from private equity, Italian language daily Il Sole 24 Ore reported.
The unsourced report said that PE firms Permira, Blackstone and Triton could be among the bidders.
The report added that Rothschild, which has extensive knowledge of Moleskine, could become involved in the dossier.
The report said that the speculation has been sparked by the fact that PE firm Syntegra has held its 42.2% stake for 10 years and could be looking to exit. The item noted that Syntegra has ruled out an exit in the short term.
Moleskine has a market cap of EUR 415m.
