Cherry AB eyes sale options for ComeOn Gaming

As part of a larger reorganization of its gambling business, Cherry AB intends to sell ComeOn Gaming, its online gambling subsidiary.
Moelis and Jefferies have been hired by the Swedish heritage gambling group to investigate ComeOn's sale possibilities.

The London private equity firm Bridgepoint, which paid €1 billion to acquire the Swedish gambling group in 2018 and took over its operations, is currently reviewing Cherry AB's assets.


Sources claim that Cherry AB wants to sell ComeOn for €500 million, which would almost double the return on the €280 million company it bought outright in 2017.
