The project went according to plan from the very beginning. After preparing the sales documents and jointly drawing up the list of potential buyers (longlist), CARL and Lars Mackel received two indicative offers for the company just a few months after the start of the project. In evaluating the offers, the Advisers and the owner also focused primarily on the corporate culture and a suitable personal chemistry between the cionix team and the interested buyers. After a successful selection for the suitable prospective buyer, the project entered the final negotiation phase. In this phase, expertise and tact were necessary to avoid that the numerous additions in the contract documents and the resulting delays in the process lead to uncertainties of both contracting parties. Furthermore, during the same period, the advised buyer dogado GmbH ("dogado group") was sold by its previous owner, the investment company Triton, to the investment companies Cinven and Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan Board ("Ontario Teachers'"). For this, it was necessary to have a good understanding of the process in order to be able to map the requirements of all parties accordingly.

After successful negotiations, the sole owner and CEO Jan Schreiber sold all shares in cionix to the dogado group, which is held by the associated companies Civen and Ontario Teachers'. Together with the other investment group.ONE, the investment companies are building a leading provider of online presence solutions in core Europe. The team and the current location in Brandenburg will continue to exist after the sale. Mr. Schreiber will continue to be available for the company for a transitional period.
