KlickOwn/iFunded agrees strategic partnership with PlanetHome Group

A team led by Dr. Thorsten Kuthe and Christopher Görtz from Heuking Kühn Lüer Wojtek’s Cologne office advised KlickOwn AG (of which the iFunded platform is an affiliate) on a strategic investment by PlanetHome Group GmbH. As part of a capital increase in kind of KlickOwn AG, PlanetHome Group will contribute various licenses to brands of PlanetHome Group GmbH. It also undertakes to subscribe to a cash capital increase of about EUR 1.5 million. PlanetHome Group will use the two capital increases to acquire a 15 percent stake in KlickOwn. The agreement also provides for an option that PlanetHome Group GmbH may exercise, according to which it is entitled to subscribe to such a number of newly issued ordinary shares in one or more of the company’s capital increases to allow it to achieve a 25 percent stake in KlickOwn AG. In the future, Klickown AG will operate under the name PlanetHome Investment AG and thereby gain access to the PlanetHome Group network.
