Acted as legal advisor to Panteia B.V. in connection with the acquisition of Panteia by management, employees and Nimbus from Stichting Panteia.
Panteia provides policy research, consultancy and market research services. The existing case page states that Panteia was acquired by management and Workers together with Nimbus from Stichting Panteia. Dealmaker describes the transaction as the acquisition of Panteia B.V. by management and Workers together with Nimbus from Stichting Panteia.
The legal work related to the transaction structure, transaction documentation and implementation of the acquisition. Management buy-outs and employee participation transactions require clear documentation on governance, control, economic participation, financing, future decision-making and the position of relevant stakeholders.
This transaction combined elements of a management buy-out, employee participation and private equity-style investment. That requires a structure that is legally robust and commercially workable for management, employees, investors and the selling foundation.
