Oppenhoff advises Finatem on hGears IPO

Frank­furt a. Main — Oppen­hoff advi­sed the private equity house Fina­tem on the IPO of its port­fo­lio company hGears AG. The manu­fac­tu­rer of func­­tion-criti­­cal high-precis­­ion trans­mis­sion parts and compon­ents with a focus on e‑cars and e‑bikes is aiming to use the proceeds from the issue of around €62 million to further drive orga­nic growth in the E‑Mobility busi­ness unit.

The first day of trading on the Regu­la­ted Market of the Frank­furt Stock Exch­ange was May 21, 2021.

The Oppen­hoff team, led by Dr. Gabriele Fontane, Foto (M&A / Private Equity), included Dr. Gunnar Knorr (Tax), Anne Vins-Niet­ham­­mer and Mara Rogier (both Corpo­rate). Gabriele Fontane was also elec­ted to the Super­vi­sory Board of hGears.

Oppen­hoff first advi­sed Fina­tem on their recent invest­ment in the Food & Service Group, Mülheim. Gabriele Fontane had alre­ady supported Fina­tem in the acqui­si­tion of hGears and in the IPO of Derby Cycle.
