BPE realises exit of Implico Group to EGERIA

valbeek advises BPE on the exit of the Implico Group to private equity investor EGERIA. Congratulations to all involved!

implico is a leading provider of SAP-based automation and digitalisation solutions. With over 40 years of industry experience, the company develops standardised SAP solutions that increase efficiency and process reliability. The transaction enables implico to continue its growth as an independent software provider and to expand its industry-specific SAP solutions beyond the energy and natural resources sector.

A team from valbeek Partnerschaft von Rechtsanwälten mbB consisting of Dr. Jörn Wöbke, Dr. Oliver Wunsch, Dr. Malte Vollertsen and Justus Graf provided legal advice to BPE on this transaction and the simultaneous carve-out of the terminal management business into the OpenTAS group. Jörn Wöbke has been advising BPE on transactions for almost 25 years and provided legal advice on the acquisition of the Implico Group at the time. BRL BOEGE ROHDE LUEBBEHUESEN provided tax advice on the transaction with a team led by Thomas Lübbehusen, Christian Handke and Lukas Aufleger.

We would like to thank Nikolaus Winther and Aman Miran Khan from BPE, Rolf Adam, Thomas Flick and Enrico Bille from the Implico Group management and the M&A team from Carlsquare led by Michael Moritz, Jil Focks, Nils Zettelmeyer, Tobias Schepers and Dimitri Selutin for the trust they placed in us and the great collaboration. We would also like to thank EGERIA and the entire Clifford Chance team, in particular Nicole Englisch, Max Alles and Max Petzelberger, for the pleasant, efficient and trusting negotiations.
