LARK advises Egeria on the acquisition of Meyer Menü

Private equity investor Egeria has acquired the Meyer Menü Group. The sellers are Thomas Meyer, majority shareholder and member of the founding family, and the two co-CEOs Marcel Hoffmann and Christian Seidel, who are re-investing. Completion of the transaction is still subject to the usual approval by the relevant antitrust authorities.<br /> <br /> Meyer Menü was founded in 1963 and is now one of the leading providers of meals on wheels in Germany. With the help of over 1,200 employees at 26 locations, the company delivers meals to day-care centres, retirement homes, schools and companies.<br /> <br /> Egeria is a leading investment company focussing on companies with growth and development potential in the Netherlands, Germany and the USA. The companies in the Egeria portfolio currently generate combined annual sales of more than 3 billion euros and employ more than 12,500 people. <br /> <br /> The business law powerhouse LARK advised the buyer Egeria on all legal aspects of the transaction. The team included Dr Ludger Schult, Dr Patrick Droese, Jennifer Blümlein, Franziska Lang (all Private Equity/M&A), Dr Anselm Lenhard and Philipp Büchler (both Finance). <br /> <br /> The team led by Dr Ludger Schult has often been at Egeria’s side. For example, it also advised the investor on the acquisition of the German sauna manufacturer Klafs in 2020. <br /> <br /> LARK was supported by LEO SCHMIDT-HOLLBURG WITTE & FRANK on all real property, employment and IP/IT/data protection law matters with partners Lutz Hülsdunk, Tom Frank and Stefan Hennigs and their teams.
