Zurmont Madison Private Equity assumes majority stake in Röder Group

Zurich/Büdingen (ots)

Zurmont Madison Private Equity L.P.
advised by Zurich-based Zurmont Madison Management AG has acquired a
majority holding in the Röder Group headquartered in
Büdingen/Germany; the Röder Group is renowned for its tent systems
throughout the world. Thereby, the extraordinarily well-positioned
company will receive additional industrial and financial support to
continue its global expansion.
Röder Zeltsysteme und Service AG ( www.r-zs.com ), headquartered
in Büdingen near Frankfurt/Main, focuses on developing,
manufacturing, distributing and renting out tents and temporary
halls. The Group is engaged with subsidiaries, participations and
representative offices of its own in over 40 countries and, with some
350 employees, generated EUR 47 million in revenues in 2006, with as
much as two-thirds already being earned abroad.
The company's shares have been listed on the German Stock Exchange
since 1992 (WKN 706600, ISIN DE0007066003), with the management - the
two members of the management board, Rüdiger Blasius and Martin
Osbeck, as well as two other executives - holding a total of 76.2% of
Röder stock since 2002. This holding is to be transferred by sale and
a contribution in kind to Udai Vermögensverwaltung GmbH which, in
turn, will be owned 75% by Zurmont Madison Private Equity L.P.. The
remaining 25% of the company's shares will remain in the hands of the
Röder management team, which therefore retains a substantial stake in
the firm. Accordingly, there will be no changes in terms of its
operational management.
Udai Vermögensverwaltung GmbH will make a voluntary takeover bid
to the remaining shareholders of Röder Zeltsysteme und Service AG in
accordance with the provisions of the German Securities Acquisition
and Takeover Act (Wertpapiererwerbs- und Übernahmegesetzes - WpÜG); a
resolution to this effect pursuant to § 10 WpÜG has been published by
Udai Vermögensverwaltung GmbH (www.udai-gmbh.de).
"The Röder Group is exceptionally well-positioned to assume a
leading role on a sustained basis in the growing event market across
the globe. We look forward to tackling the next growth phase of the
Group together with the strong management team", says Werner Schnorf,
CEO of Zurmont Madison Management AG.
