(Alliance News) - Rocket Sharing Co Spa announced on Thursday the sale of its 51% stake in Stantup Service to Mexedia for a total consideration of EUR16.5 million, a move that will allow the company to strengthen its balance sheet and fund new acquisitions in the fintech space.
According to management, the disposal allows the company to monetize the investment made in 2022 under particularly favorable terms. Rocket estimates a gross capital gain of approximately EUR14.6 million and a return on investment equal to 8.6 times the capital employed.
Luigi Maisto, Chairman of Rocket Sharing Company, explained that approximately 30% of the proceeds will be allocated to M&A transactions in high-potential and fintech sectors, while the remainder will finance the organic development of digital payment solutions and value-added services for SMEs.
The transaction includes a cash component of EUR300,000 for 0.93% of Stantup and the contribution of the remaining 50.07% into Mexedia via a reserved capital increase, with the allocation of new Mexedia shares valued at EUR16.2 million. Rocket plans to liquidate the shares received on the market within 18 months of closing. The agreement also includes a minimum cash collection guarantee of EUR12 million.
Closing is expected by the end of the first half of 2026.
