Advestra advises Emmi on the CHF 700 million bridge financing for the acquisition of Mademoiselle Desserts Group

Emmi entered into a CHF 700 mil­lion bridge loan facil­ity with UBS Switzer­land AG as arranger, ori­gin­al lender and agent to fin­ance the acquis­i­tion of Mademois­elle Desserts Group.

Emmi is lis­ted on SIX Swiss Exchange and is the lead­ing man­u­fac­turer of high-qual­ity dairy products in Switzer­land. Mademois­elle Desserts Group is a lead­ing French spe­cial­ist in innov­at­ive premi­um patis­ser­ie. With the con­tem­plated acquis­i­tion Emmi will expand its mar­ket pres­ence in the premi­um desserts cat­egory and com­ple­ment its dessert port­fo­lio to include French inspired cakes and desserts, thus open­ing new mar­ket oppor­tun­it­ies for Emmi to play a lead­ing glob­al role in the grow­ing premi­um dessert category.

Advestra acted as leg­al coun­sel to Emmi in the trans­ac­tion. The team included Alex­an­der von Jein­sen, Alex­an­der Fisch and Elisa­beth Lagler (all Fin­an­cing) as well as Céline Mar­tin (Tax).
