What we did
Capitalmind assisted Spigraph Group throughout the entire disposal process: from identifying the potential acquirers, preparing the carve-out, negotiating the offers, managing the due diligence process and assisting Spigraph Group in the final legal negotiations.
This new deal with a Japanese group highlights Capitalmind’s ability to complete transactions all over the world, and also illustrates our commitment to serving our clients at every stage of their life cycle. Capitalmind has been advising Spigraph since 2003: this sale of Alos Solution marks our 8th transaction with the group.
