Clifford Chance is advising an investment manager on selling its stake in Raksul Inc. via a public tender offer and a management buyout backed by a fund established by Goldman Sachs.
Partner Michihiro Nishi led the transaction, with senior associate Tomohiro Terada driving execution and counsel Shunsuke Nagae advising on key aspects of the transaction.
Michihiro said, "The transaction demonstrates the depth of private capital interest in high-quality Japanese businesses and the continued use of sponsor-backed take-private processes to execute complex public transactions efficiently."
Raksul operates online platforms connecting customers with printing, advertising and logistics providers in Japan, helping to improve efficiency across traditionally analogue industries. Its businesses span online printing and marketing services, television advertising through its Novasell platform, logistics solutions and corporate IT services. The company is listed on the Prime Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
Clifford Chance regularly advises on public tender offers and complex transactions involving Tokyo Stock Exchange-listed companies, including sponsor-backed management buyouts and other strategic acquisitions. The firm most recently advised Prime Strategy on its strategic alliance and public tender offer by GMO Internet Group .
