Harpers: Cleaning up on the WSE |
In a statement, managing partner Michal Rusiecki said that Harper was now mature enough to be floated and that EI held on to their stake due to their belief in Harper’s continued growth.
This is EI’s 26th IPO out of a total of 91 exits in the firm's history, with IPOs accounting for 40 percent of the firm’s total realisations. This is also EI’s first IPO since the financial crisis – the last being financial services provider Magellan in October 2007, also on the WSE.
