“Oaklins exceeded every expectation during the successful divestment of Euphoria. They played a crucial role for us as shareholders and for Euphoria as a company. The Oaklins team was hands-on, highly dedicated, thinking ahead and focused on finding solutions. In addition, they combined strategic insight with disciplined execution, running a smooth, well-structured and competitive process while keeping all parties aligned throughout. This allowed us, as shareholders, to remain focused on supporting the management team and on the strategic rationale of the transaction. It was a pleasure to work with the Oaklins team. They helped to secure a new partner that not only matched the growth ambitions of Euphoria but also respected the legacy and culture the company has built over the years.”
