Luxempart agrees to tender its shares in Nexus AG, a leading European healthcare software provider, into the public takeover offer to be launched by TA Associates
On November 5, 2024, Nexus AG announced that it has entered into an investment agreement with a holding company controlled by investment funds advised and managed by affiliates of TA Associates Management, L.P. (together “TA”) with the purpose to enter into a strategic partnership supporting the long-term growth of Nexus AG. In this context, TA has announced their intention to launch a voluntary public takeover offer. This refers to all outstanding shares at an offerprice of € 70.0 per share in cash.
Luxempart has signed an irrevocable agreement to tender all its shares into this offer, which remains subject to a minimum acceptance threshold of 50% plus one share and customary regulatory conditions. With a stake of more than 10%, Luxempart has been an anchor shareholder of Nexus AG for several years and now expresses its support to this takeover offer.
This transaction represents an important milestone in Luxempart’s ongoing commitment to fostering growth and value in innovative companies. TA’s acquisition of Luxempart’s stake in Nexus reflects a mutual confidence in Nexus’ robust market position and its continued growth potential in the health technology sector. Since investing in Nexus in 2022, Luxempart has supported the company through a period of strategic growth, contributing to the expansion of its product offerings and market footprint in Europe. With TA’s deep expertise in supporting technology-driven businesses, Nexus is well-positioned to leverage this new partnership for future advancements in healthcare solutions under the private ownership by TA following the envisaged delisting.
In case of a successful tender offer, proceeds for Luxempart would amount to ca. € 123m, which would represent a positive impact of ca. €27m on Luxempart’s Net Asset Value as of June 30, 2024.
