Latham & Watkins has advised the arrangers on the financing for CVC Capital Partners’ strategic partnership agreement with CompuGroup Medical, one of the world’s leading e-health providers, and GT1 Vermögensverwaltung GmbH, CompuGroup Medical’s majority shareholder. The partnership with CVC will become effective if a holding company controlled by investment funds advised and managed by affiliates of CVC Capital Partners successfully completes a voluntary public tender offer for outstanding shares of CompuGroup Medical at a price of €22.00 per share in cash. The offer corresponds to a premium of 51.1% to the volume-weighted average price over the past three months.
