Munich, 29th October 2018. Attorney Rolf G. Pohlmann was able to sell Genomatix AG to a listed market leader within the biotech industry from outside Europe in the course of a transferred restructuring.
Headquartered in Munich, Genomatix AG is a spin-off from the Munich Helmholtz Institute and one of the world’s leading suppliers of technologies to analyze and interpret genomic data. As well as laying the groundwork for microarray experiments and NGS data sequencing analyses, the hardware and software solutions also help to answer the typical questions posed by systems biology.
Across the last two decades, Genomatix has developed industry-leading software tools focused on mapping genomic, transcriptomic, and epigenomic functions in eukaryotic microbes and multicellular organisms employing diverse experimental inputs (microarray, ChipSeq, and Next-Gen Sequencing (NGS)). Over 30,000 customers, including private and public companies as well as institutional organizations within the pharma industry, use the company’s unique data base and solutions.
Attorney Rolf G. Pohlmann from the law firm Pohlmann Hofmann Insolvency Administration in Munich has been announced as preliminary insolvency administrator and was confirmed with the opening of the insolvency proceedings on October 1st, 2018. By continuing with the daily business of Genomatix and securing all ongoing studies and projects without limitations, the insolvency administrators were able to run an international M&A process. “The successful closing of the transaction is not only essential to the firm’s survival, its values and many years of research, but also to all non-subordinated creditors that have been satisfied with a rate of up to 100% and of course to the employees in Germany, whose workplaces could be saved,” said Pohlmann.
ACXIT Recovery Management, together with ACXIT Capital Partners’ biotech experts, has been mandated by the insolvency administrator as the exclusive M&A advisor.
