The German tech ecosystem matures and achieving exits is arguably one of the last missing ingredients to supercharge the German tech ecosystem. In a stubbornly difficult IPO market, mergers and acquisitions often offer the only practical route to liquidity for high-growth companies and its investors. With special attention on the sale of venture-backed tech companies, this playbook provides buyers and sellers a guide to approaching M&A transactions involving German tech companies. We hope you enjoy this latest edition of the Orrick Legal Ninja Series and that it will help you to successfully navigate through M&A deals involving German tech.

Orrick's Timo Holzborn, together with Patrick Joseph Siegle, explore in the recent decision note capital market compensation during the delisting of companies, particularly in times of crisis. They analyze how legal regulations, specifically § 39 BörsG and § 31 WpÜG, affect stock valuation and shareholder rights.
