The Evening Standard - Trader Talk - March 9th, 2009

Israeli venture-capital fund Catalyst Private Equity Partners has taken a significant stake in telenovela producer and distributor Dori Media Group. The fund took a 3.9% stake in the Israel-based, London-listed business, or 23,141,727 shares worth £11.57 million. Dori specializes in the Latin American high-drama sub-genre of television soaps known as telenovelas, best recognised in the Western world as the model for Ugly Betty. Having originated in South America, the soaps have struck a nerve globally with an estimated audience of two billion across Asia and Africa, making it a major export earner. Catalyst Private Equity is a late stage private-equity fund investing in a portfolio of Israeli technology and media stocks. In recent results for 2008, the company reported group revenue ahead by 70% at 27.6 million but slight decline in profit after tax from £3.3 million to £2million.
