In May, the Spanish M&A market registered a large number of closed deals, similar to previous month. Furthermore, several announced transactions are estimated to be concluded by the end of the year. The technology sector was the most active this month, however, the largest deal was registered in the financial sector. Unnim Banc acquired a 50% stake in Unnim Vida, and attained 100% of the capital, for EUR 352,53m.

Cross-border deals were not as noteworthy as in previous months. Nevertheless, highlights include a EUR 25m capital increase made by Privalia, subscribed by Belgium-based Sofina. The private equity sector registered several investments in the mid-market (deals inferior to EUR 500m), following a trend set in previous months, which supports SMEs in their their expansion and growth plans.
