ABGSC acted as exclusive financial advisor to Obton Group, in connection with the sale of a 45% minority stake to FSN Capital

Obton Group, a specialised provider of alternative investment opportunities to high net worth individuals and institutional investors, has today announced they have entered into a partnership with FSN Capital, where FSN Capital acquires a minority stake of 45% in Obton Group. The existing shareholders will continue to own the majority and operate the company.
Obton Group was founded and began providing PV solar investment opportunities in 2008, as these were characterised by having a very stable earnings profile. Since inception Obton Group has quickly become one of the largest PV solar managers in Europe through its subsidiary Obton, and have invested more than EUR 2bn in over 1,000 different PV solar sites across Europe and Canada. In 2015 Obton Group expanded with real estate investment opportunities under the Koncenton brand, and has since invested over EUR 1.2bn in residential properties in Denmark and thus gained a market leading position.
Obton Group engaged ABG in early August with the purpose of finding the right partner for Obton Group. ABG arranged a highly exclusive process, where select investors who earlier had indicated their interest towards Obton Group / ABG were invited. FSN proved to be the best match for Obton Group and with FSN Capital as partner, Obton Group is well-positioned to continue its impressive growth journey leveraging the favourable mega trends driven by the transition towards greener energy alternatives.
ABG has acted as exclusive financial advisor for Obton Group on both M&A and debt advisory. The transaction is awaiting customary antitrust approval and is expected to close in 2021.
