Mayer Brown Advises Charterhouse Capital Partners on the Sale of Vermeg to Advent

Paris – Mayer Brown advised Charterhouse Capital Partners on tax and structuring matters in connection with the conclusion of an agreement to sell its stake in Vermeg, a global provider of technology solutions for the capital markets and life insurance industries, to Advent.

A wholly owned subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) is participating in the transaction alongside Advent as a minority co-investor. Vermeg’s founder, Badreddine Ouali, will remain a shareholder in the company.

With Charterhouse’s support since 2020, the company has refocused on its core business and strengthened a model based on recurring revenue. Working closely with the founder and management team, Charterhouse has helped reposition Vermeg around its flagship platforms dedicated to capital markets and insurance, while continuing to invest in technology, innovation in artificial intelligence, and international expansion.

The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2027, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the receipt of regulatory approvals.

Mayer Brown’s tax team, which had previously advised Charterhouse on its investment in Vermeg in 2020, consisted of partners Laurent Borey and Nicolas Danan, as well as associates Miryam Lazrak and Clara Hamour.
