Deloitte Legal advises shareholders on sale of majority stake in DIMBEG GmbH
A Deloitte Legal team led by Düsseldorf Corporate/M&A partners Michael von Rüden and Thilo Hoffmann advised the shareholders of DIMBEG GmbH on the sale of a majority stake to AVIV Germany GmbH, a company of Axel Springer Group.
Together with its subsidiary, DIMBEG GmbH operates a fast-growing PropTech platform which, via the two successful and fast-growing portals www.nutzungsdauer.com and www.kaufpreis-aufteilung.com, offers real estate valuations for the optimised presentation of the remaining economic useful life of real estate. By providing certified valuations, these portals help landlords to maximise the tax depreciation potential of their properties, thereby improving cash flow. The portals draw on decades of experience in property valuation.
AVIV Germany GmbH, a company of Axel Springer Group, operates immowelt, one of the leading online marketplaces for renting and buying real estate in Germany. With the strategic acquisition of the two successful and fast-growing portals, immowelt is systematically expanding its digital service portfolio for the marketing and management of real estate.
Deloitte Legal advised the shareholders of DIMBEG GmbH on all transactional aspects of the sale of the majority stake. The sellers relied on the extensive M&A expertise of the Deloitte Legal team led by Michael von Rüden and Thilo Hoffmann, which has been proven in a large number of comparable transactions.
Zumera, headquartered in Berlin, acted as exclusive M&A advisor to the sellers, and was once again successful on the sell-side in a well-established cooperation with Deloitte Legal.
