Enento Group Oyj (HLSE:ENENTO) is exploring options including a potential sale after rebuffing a takeover proposal from US credit reporting company TransUnion, people with knowledge of the matter said. The Nordic credit information provider is working with an adviser to gauge interest, according to the people, who asked not to be identified because the information is private. Private equity firms including Apax Partners LLP have also been studying the business, the people said.

Helsinki-based Enento has a market value of about €526 million ($572 million). Deliberations are ongoing and there’s no certainty they’ll result in a transaction, the people said. Enento said in a regulatory filing Thursday it receives transaction proposals “from time to time,” and its board “considers and evaluates different alternatives carefully, with a view to safeguarding the interests of Enento Group and its shareholders.” A representative for Apax declined to comment.

“As you would expect, from time to time, we receive inbound interest from companies and or their representatives,” TransUnion said in an emailed statement. “We are not in active discussions with Enento. As we’ve stated publicly, we do not expect to make any significant acquisitions in 2023 as we integrate recent acquisitions".
