BTV is a group of trading and service compa\u00adnies that deve\u00adlop, produce and distri\u00adbute compon\u00adents for the cons\u00adtruc\u00adtion of cable and fiber optic networks.<\/p>\n

In the course of a manage\u00adment buyout<\/strong>, DBAG ECF, a fund advi\u00adsed by DBAG, will acquire the majo\u00adrity of shares in four opera\u00adting compa\u00adnies of the BTV Group.

The closing of the purchase agree\u00adment is sche\u00addu\u00adled for July 2018. The rele\u00advant anti\u00adtrust autho\u00adri\u00adties still have to approve the tran\u00adsac\u00adtion. The parties have agreed not to disc\u00adlose the purchase price.<\/p>\n

BTV braun tele\u00adCom AG was advi\u00adsed by the follo\u00adwing Bird & Bird lawy\u00aders: Part\u00adner Dr. Hans Peter Leube, Lead (Corporate\/M&A, Frank\u00adfurt), Asso\u00adcia\u00adtes Mari\u00adanne Nawroth (Corporate\/M&A, Frank\u00adfurt), Laura M\u00fcller (Corporate\/M&A, D\u00fcssel\u00addorf), Chyn\u00adgyz Timur (Corporate\/M&A, Frank\u00adfurt), Part\u00adner Dr. Barbara Geck and Asso\u00adciate Daniela Gudat (both Labor Law, Frankfurt).<\/p>\n

\nDr. Hans Peter Leube was previously on the side of DBAG in seve\u00adral tran\u00adsac\u00adtions and refi\u00adnan\u00adcings (most recently in the acqui\u00adsi\u00adtion of the vitro\u00adnet Group and the Netz\u00adkon\u00adtor-Nord Group). The fact that he now nego\u00adtia\u00adted on the seller\u2019s side is due in parti\u00adcu\u00adlar to his exper\u00adtise from his opera\u00adtio\u00adnal in-house time at Tele\u00adco\u00adlum\u00adbus.
