Homburger News

On February 12, 2025, HomeToGo SE (Frankfurt Stock Exchange: HTG) announced the signing of a binding agreement to acquire Interhome, Europe&#8217;s second largest vacation rental management company, from Migros, Switzerland’s largest retail company. HomeToGo agreed to a purchase price of CHF 150 m, plus deferred payments of up to CHF 85 m which may become due in tranches until 2029, making this the most significant transaction in HomeToGo Group&#8217;s history and positioning HomeToGo to become Europe&#8217;s leading vacation rental platform.
With this transaction, HomeToGo Group&#8217;s total pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA for FY/24e would triple to more than EUR 30 m.
The transaction is expected to be financed through a combination of new equity, senior debt and available net cash and is expected to close in H1/25, subject to customary regulatory approvals for both the acquisition of Interhome by HomeToGo and the simultaneous acquisition &#8211; in the same transaction &#8211; of the other entities in Hotelplan Group by DERTOUR Group, a renowned international tourism group.
Homburger advises HomeToGo on the Swiss law and tax aspects of the transaction. The Homburger team was led by Frank Gerhard (Corporate / M&amp;A) and included Olivier Bühlmann, Magdalena Stock, Daniel Bötticher, Miriam Oelgarth and Harun Cetin (all Corporate / M&amp;A), Stefan Bindschedler and Michelle Wolf (both Financing and Investment Products), Luca Dal Molin and Joel Fink (both IP / IT), Richard Stäuber and Christoph Grüninger (both Competition), Reto Heuberger, Stefan Oesterhelt and Philippe Weber (all Tax), Vanessa Huber and Jeremy Reichlin (both Employment and Executive Compensation), Gabriel Kasper (Data Protection) as well as Stefanie Pfisterer (Arbitration).
