Milut sold 52% of shares, while Stieber sold the 13% he held. In the wake of the operation, Celco, which already held 30.5% in Prefab, climbs to over 95% in the share capital, nearing the threshold allowing it to launch a potential binding takeover bid.
The deal comes at a difficult time for Prefab. In the first half of 2025, the company reported RON1.3 million net losses amid RON33.4 million turnover.
For the buyer, Celco, the acquisition is part of a consolidation process. The company in 2024 registered RON227.9 million turnover, up 8% from 2023, and RON55.1 million net profit (slightly down, by 5%).
The Prefab operation shows the Bucharest Stock Exchange remains a relevant territory not only for funding, but also for strategic deals.
