Transaction Summary
Strata Partners is delighted to announce that it acted as exclusive corporate finance adviser to Oxatis S.A. (Euronext: ALOXA) on its acquisition of Channel Pilot Solutions GmbH (“Channel Pilot”). Having advised Oxatis on its entry into Europe’s largest e-commerce market, the UK, through the acquisition of certain assets of Actinic Software Limited in 2011, Strata is pleased to have advised Oxatis on a second acquisition, which provides an entry point into Europe’s second largest e-commerce market, Germany.
