Synopsis
Founded in 1945, Grupo Clar n expanded over several decades to become Argentina's largest media conglomerate. With leading positions in newspapers, broadcast television, broadcast radio, cable television, and Internet services, Grupo Clar n caught the attention of U.S.-based investment bank Goldman Sachs, which acquired an 18% share of Grupo Clar n for US$500 million in 1999. While Grupo Clar n struggled during the economic crisis from 2001 to 2002, it was well positioned to grow as the economy began to recover in 2003, in part due to government policies that helped stabilize the media industry. Now in October 2007, Grupo Clar n was preparing to make an IPO in London and Buenos Aires, and fund managers at Goldman Sachs were reevaluating their position. What price would the IPO reach and how much, if any, of their stake should they sell? What was the return Goldman Sachs would obtain if they sold its entire position, or just one part?
