P+P advises the management on the sale of MOTOR-TALK GmbH to mobile.de GmbH
mobile.de GmbH, a company in the eBay Classifieds Group, acquired MOTOR-TALK GmbH, Europe's largest car community. The eBay Classifieds Group is a global leader in the digital classified advertisement business and offers customized classified pages for local markets.
MOTOR-TALK has more than 2.5 million registered users and is thus the largest European car and engine platform on the Internet. The users can find out all about vehicle topics and exchange information and ideas in blogs and forums.
Both companies have a total of approximately 13.1 million unique users per month, hence the car trade will gain access to an even greater number of potential customers in the future. The two brands will continue to operate in parallel and the neutrality of the MOTOR-TALK community will be maintained.
P+P Pöllath + Partners advised the management with regard to the sale with the following team:
- Dr. Benedikt Hohaus (partner, M&A/PE)
- Dr. Tim Kaufhold (counsel, M&A/PE)
