Billionaire banker Jaime Gilinski’s bids to increase his holdings in two Colombian companies are expected to open in the coming week after gaining regulatory approval, according to a person with direct knowledge of the process.
Gilinski is offering to buy as much as $1.1 billion of shares in foodmaker Grupo Nutresa SA and buy up to $289 million in financial conglomerate Grupo de Inversiones Suramericana. These follow a $1.9 billion investment that closed earlier this month, making him the second-largest shareholder of both companies.
