HEUKING advises on takeover offer for Heidelberger Beteiligungsholding
HEUKING advised Apeiron Investment Group Ltd. on acquiring a controlling stake in Heidelberger Beteiligungsholding AG, followed by a public takeover offer to the company’s minority shareholders.
With the acquisition of majority control, Apeiron aims to further develop the strategic direction of Heidelberger Beteiligungsholding AG and unlock synergies within the investment portfolio. In addition to Apeiron Investment Group Ltd., its founder and owner Christian Angermayer is also regarded as an indirect acquirer of control, as the voting rights from the Apeiron-held shares are attributed to him. Following the takeover, Heidelberger Beteiligungsholding AG announced a new strategic focus on acquiring SQD tokens and plans to rebrand as SQD.AI Strategies AG.
Legal advice to Apeiron Investment Group was provided by a team led by Cologne-based HEUKING Partner Dr. Thorsten Kuthe, supported by Dr. Götz G. Karrer, Dr. Andreas Meyer, and Miriam Schäfer.
Apeiron Investment Group is an internationally operating investment firm focused on supporting innovative companies, with anchor investments as a limited partner and selective minority positions as a general partner in emerging asset managers.
