AAC Capital has refinanced Oogwereld
Oogwereld
Oogwereld, established in 1998, is one of the largest integrated platforms of premium eyecare specialists in Benelux and Germany, with a total count of 118 stores.
The Deal
As a result of strong growth, the existing financing structure reached its limits, calling for a full refinancing to extend the lender group and improve conditions. Consumer retail businesses are still carefully reviewed by most lenders, so Lincoln selected ones with positive experience in the consumer retail business and emphasized the resilience of this premium eyecare specialist platform. Through its extensive experience in the consumer industry and excellent network of international lenders, Lincoln smoothly set up the new group of lenders. With this refinancing, the company is ready to continue its successful international growth in Belgium and Germany.
Our Perspective
Sander Thiadens, Lincoln International Managing Director who led the transaction, commented, “Oogwereld is a platform of premium eye-care specialists in Benelux and Germany with a resilient like-for-like financial performance. The company was able to attract strong interest from banks and funds, securing flexible funding to support acquisitive growth in the forthcoming years.”
