Value holding up well
Article Abstract:
Venture capitalists in the Netherlands invested Dfl.225 million in buyouts in 1995, with buyout activity apparently remaining high in 1996. There were 57 completed transactions in 1995 following a drop in number in 1994. Deal values in 1995 fell 31.9% to 523 million pounds sterling from 768 million pounds sterling in 1994, although the 1995 figure was the third highest level in mainland Europe. Buyouts do not represent a major part of venture capital investments in the Netherlands, unlike in the UK.

Mixed fortunes in the low countries
Article Abstract:
There were 20 buyouts and buyins in the Netherlands in the first half of 1995, a stable level compared with the year-earlier period. There were a number of major deals during this time. Divestment is still the most significant source of buyouts in the Netherlands. In Belgium, there is still only a modest level of management buyout activity. There were nine transactions in 1994, at a total value of 30 million pounds sterling. Divestments represent the main source of buyouts.
