Direkt Optik 

Convex Capital led the sale of Direkt Optik AB, the Swedish retail opticians chain to Benelux based Hans Anders, in a transaction that valued the Business at 11 x EBITDA.

Hans Anders is a private equity backed, pan European retail opticians business, with Revenues in excess of €500m.

The Team at Convex undertook a strategic review of our clients’ business and positioned the Company to achieve maximum value in the market.

The Convex team selected a number of strategic acquirers and negotiated the structure, value and timing of the consideration, together with a number of key agreements which will enhance the operation retained to the shareholders.

The Convex difference: strategy to split the business divisions into two sales processes to maximise value, rather than simply selling the whole Group

“What the team at Convex achieved is truly remarkable”

Joseph Lee, Chairman

Deal Value: €13m
