We are proud to have advised The SPAR Group Ltd (JSE: SPP) on the sale of its entire shareholding in SPAR Switzerland to a Swiss family office.   This was one of the most complex and high-profile transactions in the Swiss retail sector in recent years, involving: • a network of more than 350 stores, 11 cash & carry outlets and one distribution centre, • a process beginning with a full strategic review for the SPAR Board, • a structured sell-side auction under regulatory and legacy challenges, • and ultimately, a clean transfer of ownership back into Swiss hands.   The transaction valued the business at CHF 46.5 million equity value, with the potential for an additional CHF 30 million earn-out. In recent years, SPAR Switzerland contributed approx. ZAR 16 billion (approx. EUR 800 million) to Group turnover, underlining the scale of this divestment.   The Group, which holds several SPAR country licences of the Dutch SPAR network, has been streamlining its international portfolio to maximise the return on capital allocated. The Swiss divestment follows last year’s sale of its Polish operations.   SPAR International is the world’s leading voluntary food retail chain and the largest independent supermarket retail network globally.   The transaction signed and closed on the same day, 8 September 2025 — a demonstration of precision M&A execution.   Congratulations to the deal team: Marcel Franzen, Irshaad Paruk, Sibonelo Mdluli, Tarryn Witten.   At Clairfield, we specialise in navigating complex, high-stakes transactions and delivering the best possible outcomes for our clients. Proud to have partnered with RMB - Rand Merchant Bank, our South African partner firm, on this landmark transaction for SPAR.

Camion Transport and Coca-Cola HBC Switzerland make a strong statement for the future of sustainable logistics 🌱🚛 Since 2016, the partnership has been growing steadily, and now we are taking a crucial next step: Camion Transport is replacing the entire vehicle fleet for Coca-Cola HBC Switzerland with state-of-the-art, battery-electric trucks. The first Mercedes-Benz eActros 600 has already been part of our electric fleet since July with two more joining by the end of August. By 2030, more than thirty of these innovative vehicles will be on the road for Coca-Cola HBC Switzerland. This partnership not only accelerates the decarbonization of distribution in Switzerland but also sets new benchmarks for the entire industry. Josef Jäger, Director of Camion Transport, and Jürg Burkhalter General Manager of Coca-Cola HBC Switzerland, emphasize: "Moving forward together and setting standards – that is what drives us. We can only achieve net zero side by side." #Sustainability #ElectricFleet #NetZero

The Series C co-lead investors – the family office of Giammaria Giuliani and a US family represented by Shiloh Advisors AG – were joined in 2025 by new investors ranging from family offices to industry players, as well as an investor collective at Swisspreneur. The proceeds will be used to progress with the Phase 3 trial of the lead product denovoSkin and to prepare for its commercialization. The funds will also advance the industrialization and clinical readiness of the world’s first automated manufacturing platform for personalized tissue therapy.
