Formation of a Core of Shareholders
The partners in General Capital Group supported the founding family and other primary shareholders of a German brand-name manufacturer during the defense against a hostile takeover by a competitor.
The partners of General Capital Group structured the financing and led the negotiations for the family owners. The volume of the transaction amounted to several billion euros. The common objective of forming a new, lasting, and stable core of shareholders was accomplished.
In the words of a spokesman for the founding family on the transaction: "Without the creativity, dedication and professionalism of the partners of General Capital Group, we would not be independent today."
