Placing of shares in Wizz Air Holdings Plc
Indigo Partners LLC intends to sell approximately 10 million ordinary shares in Wizz Air Holdings Plc, representing about 9.7% of the company's share capital, through an accelerated bookbuild offering to institutional investors. This secondary placing is driven by investors seeking to realize their investment after a prolonged holding period. The sellers currently own approximately 23.9% of Wizz Air's issued share capital. The company will not receive any proceeds from this placement, and the bookrunners, Morgan Stanley and J.P. Morgan, will manage the offering. Indigo Partners will be subject to a 90-day lock-up period on further sales without consent. Disclaimer*
