The transaction

What happened

AdC published the exclusive-control notification on 23 January. Abreu's 6 April disclosure later confirmed that Iberis had acquired the majority, with new-product development and international expansion described as priorities.

The adviser characterised the structure as a cash-and-equity transaction with conditions precedent, including competition clearance. The public disclosure does not give the exact ownership percentage, consideration or separate legal closing day.
