The largest transaction for online printing deal to date in Europe, marks Altium\u2019s second successful transaction in this industry and its 19th in Internet and Technology over the past twelve months.<\/h2>\n

Altium Capital<\/strong> acted as exclusive financial adviser to the shareholders of Pixartprinting srl<\/strong>, the leading web-to-print business, near Venice in Italy, on its sale to Vistaprint N.V<\/strong>.
\nThe transaction values Pixartprinting at an enterprise value of \u20ac150m plus an earn-out of up to \u20ac10m and sees Vistaprint acquiring a 97% stake while the founder of Pixartprinting retains a 3% stake. This transaction, the largest online printing deal to date in Europe, marks Altium\u2019s second successful transaction in this industry and its 19th in Internet and Technology over the past twelve months.<\/p>\n

Pixartprinting, founded\u00a0in 1994\u00a0<\/span>by Matteo Rigamonti<\/strong> , \u00a0was majority-owned by the Italian Private Equity Fund <\/span>Alcedo SGR<\/strong> since 2011 while the founder maintained a minority stake. Over the past years, the Company has expanded rapidly across Europe. In calendar year 2013, Pixartprinting\u2019s revenue was approximately \u20ac56 million, reflecting year-on-year growth of more than 35%. Pixartprinting\u2019s EBITDA in calendar year 2013 was approximately \u20ac15 million.

The acquisition of Pixartprinting gives Vistaprint a market presence that complements its brand and offer. Vistaprint currently plans to invest in Pixartprinting to help fuel its continued growth as an independent brand that will remain distinct from Vistaprint in its value proposition and positioning. Pixartprinting will benefit from Vistaprint\u2019s scale advantage and knowledge in manufacturing and supply chain while, in turn, serving the large and fragmented small business segment of the printing market that Vistaprint has not traditionally served. Additionally, over time, the acquisition is expected to enable both Vistaprint and Pixartprinting to expand their product offerings.

\u00a0Alessandro Tenderini<\/strong>, Pixartprinting\u2019s Chief Executive Officer said: \u201cWe are excited about the opportunities this acquisition will provide us. We started as a family-run traditional printing business in 1994 and during the last decade, we have transformed into a successful web-to-print business that still places the customer at the center of its goals. We believe Vistaprint will be a strong partner for future international growth as we tap into its scale, global presence, financial strength, technology and manufacturing process expertise<\/em>.\u201d
\nCarlo Dawan<\/strong>, Managing Director at Altium, said: \u201cPixartprinting is among the top five online printing companies across Europe, and a fast-growing, clear leader in Southern Europe. Because we were able to internationally position the Company as a strategic asset, we could achieve an attractive valuation of close to 10x EV\/EBITDA. We ran a process that was smooth, confidential and effective. This deal is evidence of the high interest of the large strategic investor towards Italian high-quality assets<\/em>.\u201d
\nTobias Schultheiss<\/strong>, Director at Altium, added: \u201cAfter advising Onlineprinters on its partnership with TA Associates, this is the second industry-changing transaction in this industry that we advised on in the last 12 months. The sale of Pixartprinting to Vistaprint is the largest online printing transaction in Europe to date, underlining our leading position as advisers in this industry. We were able to use our in-depth knowledge of the online printing market and direct access to key decision-makers to help Pixartprinting find the right strategic partner for its future growth.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Closing of the transaction is subject to various closing conditions, and is expected to take place during the second quarter of 2014.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
