Baker McKenzie advised Tokyo Stock Exchange-listed LIFULL on its US$187 million acquisition of the Australian Stock Exchange-listed Mitula Group.
The first-of-a-kind scheme of arrangement transaction will create a leading global online classifieds and marketplaces group in 63 countries with 170 million visits per month giving customers access to more traffic, products and services. The consideration reflects an 88% premium to the closing price of Mitula shares on the ASX for those receiving shares.
Mitula shareholders will receive cash of up to A$16,000 (US$11,800) per shareholder, and will receive LIFULL shares for any holding in excess of this, or if they would prefer to not receive cash.
