UPDATE. One of the advisors on the acquisition of Jumbo Super de Boer, Rob van Doorn, is also involved in Lucerne Capital hedge fund. , according to data from the Bloombergterminal. Lucerne negotiated for the acquisition in shares of the listed supermarket chain. It is the second striking overlap around the acquisition by Jumbo.
The AFM has been a prior investigation started because of an outstanding price jump in the proportion Super de Boer. This weekend it was announced that Thijs Hovers involved in Lucerne, while his brother Mickey Hovers Quore Capital of one of the advisors of Jumbo's.The father of two was even more surprising President Commissioner at Schuitema (C1000), which also interfered in the takeover battle.
Lucerne Capital Management sold 2.4 million shares on Sept. 18 in Super de Boer. "I have the entire period with my brother never had contact about Super de Boer," said Mickey Hovers in The Guardian . "We hold that all of 10 years divorced."
Van Doorn also Quore adviser on behalf of Jumbo and therefore involved in Lucerne. TheBloomberg terminal is he listed as 'director' of Lucerne, accompanied by an email address Quore. So is Van Doorn themselves also can keep each other like the brothers Hovers. At the 5-Beursplein fanfare here is at least substantially over geroffeld.
Update 15.15 pm: Rob van Doorn tells Quote over the phone that Quore Lucerne together and buying their subscription to Bloomberg. "That's pretty normal. We are a startup company and a terminal is expensive. But it is not intended that I am called Bloomberg as director of Lucerne. I will call Bloomberg to take that away. "
The joint purchase of a subscription Bloomberg seems to indicate a close relationship between Quore and Lucerne, but further questions about the relationship between the two companies will not answer Van Doorn. "This is not about the Bloomberg terminal is it?That is another story, there is a great Jumbo communications consultant Jeroen Sparrow. "
And precisely that he is spokesman for Jumbo is also a nice coincidence, because last year we were approached by an employee of Sparrows office on behalf of Lucerne .
