NautaDutilh assisted Centogene N.V. with its strategic review process and the entering of a transaction pursuant to which its entire business, carried out by Centogene GmbH, will be sold to Charme Capital Partners Limited, a pan-European private equity firm.

In connection with the transaction, Centogene GmbH will receive funding to provide it with liquidity to the closing date. Centogene N.V. shall further be relieved of all existing liabilities owing to its senior secured lender Oxford Finance LLC. The sale transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2025. Following the closing of the transaction, Centogene N.V. and its remaining subsidiaries will no longer have any operations and is expected to enter dissolution and liquidation.

Having supported Centogene N.V. through its Nasdaq IPO, it was a privilege to assist them once again in their transition to private ownership. This transaction was about securing a sustainable future and long-term financial foundation for their business. Our continued collaboration with Centogene underscores NautaDutilh’s commitment to guiding clients through each stage of their business lifecycle.
