Andrzej and Iwona Przybylo, the main shareholders and founders of AB Group, one of the largest IT distributors in Central and Eastern Europe, have started the process of selling up to 18.94% of the company’s shares.
The transaction, which is being carried out under the accelerated book building (ABB) formula, coincides with the announcement of a change in the position of chairman. Andrzej Przybyło, who has led the company since its inception, will not seek re-election to the board and intends to move to the supervisory board.
The offer comprises a total of up to 3,065,252 shares. Andrzej Przybylo plans to sell up to 1 316 200 shares (8.13% of the capital) and Iwona Przybylo up to 1 749 052 shares (10.8% of the capital).
The process is being managed by Ipopema Securities. The final price and the number of shares to be sold will be determined after the book closing.
The move signals an important stage in the history of the Wroclaw-based company. The resignation of Andrzej Przybyło as CEO at the end of his current term of office is a key generational and strategic change.
His planned addition to the board is intended to ensure continuity and the use of his many years of experience in a new role focusing on oversight and strategy rather than day-to-day management.
The decision to sell shares by key shareholders, while declaring a continued commitment to the strategic development of the company, could be interpreted as an attempt to liquidate some assets while retaining influence over its future.
Investors will be watching closely to see who will take up the new shares and how the market will assess the company’s prospects under the new management.
AB Group, listed on the WSE since 2006 and included in the mWIG40 index, is a leader in the distribution of IT and consumer electronics in Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. In the last financial year (2023/2024), the company generated PLN 14.66 billion in consolidated revenues, confirming its strong market position.
The upcoming personnel and ownership changes open a new chapter for the tech giant.
