Kellerhals Carrard advises private shareholders of Ladenbau Schmidt AG on a Management Buy-Out

On May 13, 2022, Fema Retail AG acquired all shares in Ladenbau Schmidt AG from the Schmidt family. The purchase price was highly leveraged by UBS Switzerland AG and additionally financed by a seller’s loan. Ladenbau Schmidt AG, a successful and market leading company with 85 employees, specializes in the design, planning, execution and sale of store fittings – whether for retail, hotels, restaurants, gas stations or reception areas.

Kellerhals Carrard acted as legal advisor to the sellers. The team was led by Dr. Marco Balmelli (Corporate/M&A) and comprised Sarah Schneider (Corporate/M&A) and Kevin MacCabe (M&A/Finance).
