<\/a> Ezdehar reaches USD 168 mn first close of EMF II fund: <\/strong>Private equity firm Ezdehar Management has reached the first close of its Mid-Cap Fund II (EMF II), overshooting its USD 100-120 mn target to book commitments totalling USD 168 mn, the firm announced in a statement (pdf)<\/a> yesterday evening. The close means that Ezdehar now has more than USD 250 mn in assets under management between its two funds, making it one of the largest Egypt-focused fund managers.<\/p>\n

About the fund:<\/strong> Ezdehar plans to deploy the capital by purchasing majority and minority stakes in 6-8 small to mid-cap companies<\/a> with an individual ticket size of USD 5-30 mn. It will target companies in growth sectors such as consumer and retail, business services, education, healthcare, and manufacturing. Pharma and F&B firms are also on the list, Ezdehar founder and Managing Director Emad Barsoum previously told us<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The IFC is the latest LP to announce a commitment, <\/strong>saying<\/a> that it had invested USD 20 mn in the fund.<\/p>\n

It joins a number of other development finance institutions:<\/strong> The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development<\/a> has contributed USD 25 mn<\/a>, the UK\u2019s CDC is in with USD 25 mn, the European Investment Bank<\/a> has provided USD 15 mn, and Dutch development bank FMO<\/a> has provided USD 20 mn. The Belgian Investment Company for Developing Countries (BIO) and the Egyptian-American Enterprise Fund have also made undisclosed commitments to the fund, Ezdehar said.<\/p>\n

What they said:<\/strong> \u201cWith this fund, Ezdehar was able to significantly expand its investor base to include a unique set of reputable regional and global institutions,\u201d said Emad Barsoum, Ezdehar's founder and managing director.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s next:<\/strong> Ezdehar expects to reach a final close of USD 180 mn by the end of 2022, it said in the statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
