High attractiveness of Polish companies from the SME sector

In terms of transaction value, in 2018, small and medium-sized so-called Mid-Caps (value PLN 100-400 million) prevailed. The largest transaction of the previous year was the acquisition by PKN Orlen of 37% of shares in Czech Unipetrol for the amount of approximately PLN 4.2 billion. Among transactions with the disclosed price in 2018, we recorded 41 small transactions, 12 Mid-Caps and 10 large transactions, including 7 worth over PLN 1 billion. There were no enormous transactions in 2018, as in 2016 (sale of Allegro and sale of the PEKAO block of shares, both worth over PLN 10 billion).
