POELLATH advises Eckert & Ziegler Group on a spin-off and sale of a group company to TCL
To this end, EZAG’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Eckert & Ziegler BEBIG GmbH, has spun off its HDR business to BEBIG Medical GmbH, a company newly founded for this purpose, and subsequently sold 51% of its shares to TCL Healthcare Equipment (TCL) in Shanghai, a subsidiary of the Chinese TCL Group. For the remaining 49% of the shares in BEBIG Medical GmbH, TCL received a call option until the beginning of 2024 and Eckert & Ziegler BEBIG GmbH received a subsequent put option.
