Noerr advises UniCredit on acquisition financing for the purchase of FYEO Europe

Noerr, led by Martina Buller and Nikolai Warneke, advised UniCredit GmbH on the acquisition financing for the purchase of all shares in FYEO Europe B.V. and its subsidiaries by EuroEyes International Eye Clinic Limited. The shares were sold by, amongst others, the private equity investor Committed Capital. 

FYEO operates in the field of refractive surgery (laser eye treatments and lens implants). EuroEyes, founded in 1993 by ophthalmologist Dr Jørn S. Jørgensen, is a leading international specialist in refractive surgery with more than 30 years’ experience in laser eye surgery and lens implantation treatments for sharp vision without glasses or contact lenses. With over 30 clinics in Germany, Denmark, China, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, EuroEyes has built a strong global reputation for high-quality patient care, innovation and specialisation in refractive surgery. 

Through its integration into the global EuroEyes platform, FYEO will combine its strong local market presence in the Netherlands with EuroEyes’ internationally renowned range of ophthalmological services.
