Debeljak made this proposal in a letter circulated to the PL brewery, Unicredit bank Slovenia, Nova Ljubljanska bank (NLB), Gorenjska bank, A bank, Koper bank and Hypo Alpe Adria bank, according to a notification issued on the web site of the Ljubljana Stock Exchange.
According to the notification, the Mercator management has recently detected preliminary interest of some strategic investors in the European Union.
The possible sale of 25 percent of shares, currently held by the PL brewery, to one investor, will reduce the potential interest of other strategic investors which is why Debeljak made the above-mentioned proposal.
Debeljak believes that the offer of the sale of 50 percent of the company's equity will maximise shares' price.
