Merger in the EUROMEDIA GROUP

This was a merger by merger of EUROMEDIA GROUP, a.s. as the successor company and KH Financing s.r.o., NEOLUXOR, s.r.o. and GRANIT, s.r.o. as the dissolving companies. EUROMEDIA GROUP, a.s. is one of the strongest players on the Czech book market. Under its wings it has book publishing houses with major labels (Odeon, Ikar, Universum, YOLI and others), distribution of books (printed and e-content) and the Luxor bookstore network. It is represented by the luxor.cz online store and over thirty stores throughout the Czech Republic.

The aim of the merger was to simplify the Group’s organisational structure and achieve significant savings on the client side. The advisory services included in particular the following: analysis of contractual and commercial relationships and identification of potential merger risks; preparation of the merger project and all corporate documentation; ensuring notification obligations in relation to creditors, authorities and business partners; support in drawing up the opening balance sheet; securing approval of the merger by the shareholders of the merging companies; ensuring registration of the merger in the commercial register; legal support throughout the merger process. The value of the transaction was in the order of hundreds of millions of Czech crowns. It was a project lasting more than a year, during which we successfully guided the client through the entire merger process.

The LTA team consisted of Marek Demo, Soňa Macurová and Alexander Novák.
