q.beyond AG (\u201cq.beyond\u201d), a German listed IT service provider, has sold IP Exchange GmbH (\u201cIP Exchange\u201d), its German colocation business, to NorthC Group B.V. (\u201cNorthC\u201d), a portfolio company of German-based independent asset manager DWS Infrastructure (\u201cDWS\u201d).<\/p>\n
Through the sale of IP Exchange, q.beyond has completed its separation from the capital-intensive colocation business, in line with q.beyond\u2019s strategic focus on IT services. The sale is another milestone in the implementation of q.beyond\u2019s growth strategy \u201c2020plus\u201d.<\/p>\n
The sale of IP Exchange was HHP\u2019s second consecutive sell-side mandate for q.beyond, following our advice to q.beyond on the sale of Plusnet to EnBW in 2019. The HHP team again provided full sell-side advisory services to q.beyond in a highly competitive, multi-stage auction process and again achieved an exceptionally successful outcome for the seller and for all of q.beyond\u2019s stakeholders.<\/p>\n
Besides HHP q.beyond was advised by Gleiss Lutz (legal).<\/p>\n
