TRANSACTION INTERVIEW 87 Please tell us more about the role you played during this deal. Our law firm and our team were involved as legal advisors to the sellers in order to assist the members of the Giovannelli family (founders and former owners of the target company Gommatex Spalmati) in relation to all legal aspects of the sale and reinvestments with Aksìa. How did you ensure that the transaction was carried out to the satisfaction of all concerned? In performing our task, our main focus and concern was both to negotiate and define the best contractual structure for the sale of the shares, with particular attention to the R&Ws, and, at the same time, to structure the terms and conditions of the reinvestment made by the sellers, according to their specific roles and needs. Were there any aspects of this transaction that you found unique, challenging or particularly interesting? The transaction was characterised by the strong commitment of both the sellers and buyer to the company’s future management, which entailed a complex and detailed regulation of their relationship and the corporate governance structure. All this was carried out while keeping to the time schedule without producing significant delays. Enrico Mugnai Partner at Tombari D’Angelo e Associati The transaction was characterised by the strong commitment of both the sellers and buyer to the company’s future management.
