Deal or Case news
16.12.2024
On 20 December, Iris Financial S.A., a Euronext Amsterdam-listed company focused on the financial services sector, completed its business combination with Younited S.A., a leading European consumer credit business.
This was a very interesting deal to have worked as it took place in the regulated space with a listed company and involved multiple jurisdictions. It was challenging at times but a true pleasure to work with such committed teams both at our own firm and from all parties involved. We would like to thank the Iris Financial team for their trust in us and great cooperation.
Antonia Netiv, Corporate/M&A partner
