Led by partners Roland Maass and Florian Bruder, we advised VARTA AG on the conclusion of several key agreements with its financiers and investors as well as, led by partner Wolfram Distler, on a bridge financing as part of the ongoing restructuring under the StaRUG. These agreements mark a significant milestone, including a capital increase and an investor agreement with Porsche AG. Additionally, led by partner Gerald Schumann, we advised VARTA AG on the formation of a joint venture with Porsche.

👉 Proud of crossing the $1B threshold for total transaction value in one-year for the first time! 🚀 👉 Thrilled about the 12 acquisitions (including a New Platform Creation that began in August) we (Soundcore Capital Partners) completed in 2023, I'm even more excited for 2024. We already have four more companies under LOI that we expect to close in Q1 and have a new platform Fresh Idea fully activated with direct outreach and company visits underway! 👉 With rushed + blind reupping that supported aggressive fund size increases and AUM gathering (= lower returns) by many GPs, which was oddly celebrated by so many, the vast majority of private equity firms grossly overpaid for (and over levered) companies between 2016-2022. With interest rates rapidly up ~550bps and leverage less plentiful, and therefore exit multiples are down, hardly any of those buyers want to sell for negative arbitrage, which resulted in a stagnant M&A market and ultimately means little DPI (stands for Distributions to Paid-In and represents how much value has been returned to LPs relative to how much capital has been called by a GP) in 2023. In stark contrast, consistent purchase price discipline allowed our firm (Soundcore Capital Partners) to exit 36.4% of our portfolio in 2023 and in turn generate substantial DPI to our LPs. #results #business
