Clifford Chance advises Alcentra on the financing of 3i’s investment in MAIT

The MAIT Group, headquartered in Rottweil, Germany, provides innovative and pioneering digital solutions in product lifecycle management (“PLM”), enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) and IT services. MAIT is uniquely positioned at the intersection of PLM, ERP and managed IT services and has significant penetration growth potential. It differentiates itself by looking at digitisation in a holistic way and developing tailored solutions in partnership with its customers and operates in an attractive market which is expected to continue to grow considerably. To take advantage of growth opportunities, medium-sized companies in particular are investing significantly in digital transformation in order to make their processes more efficient and effective.

The financing caters for committed and uncommitted acquisition and capex facilities to provide resources to realise the growth potential of MAIT, including by pursuing multiple strategic M&A opportunities in a highly fragmented market.
