SNP Enters Strategic Partnership with Carlyle Through Investment Agreement

On December 23, 2024, SNP Schneider-Neureither & Partner SE announced a key investment agreement with Carlyle. The agreement aims to foster a strategic partnership for SNP's long-term growth. As part of this initiative, Carlyle's holding company, Succession German Bidco GmbH, will make a voluntary public takeover offer to SNP’s outside shareholders at EUR 61.00 per share—a 17.2% premium over the past three months' average share price.

Carlyle secured agreements to acquire 65.19% of SNP from majority shareholder Wolfgang Marguerre and 11.06% from other shareholders. SNP's Boards support the offer, viewing it as beneficial for shareholders and stakeholders. After completion, Carlyle plans to delist SNP, pending regulatory approvals. SNP's headquarters in Heidelberg and existing management will remain intact.
