Cairo – Mubasher: CI Capital Holding on Monday announced it has signed a contract to acquire an indirect stake of 60% stake in Taleem Educational Services and Consultations (TESC).

The transaction is expected to be implemented during the third quarter of 2019, CI Capital said in a statement to the Egyptian Exchange (EGX).

The acquisition is not eligible until all legal and contractual conditions are fulfiled, the company noted.

The company may invest around 15% to 20% of the total transaction as a sponsor since it would share the remaining stake with a number of investors, according to the statement.
