"TASKING" develops and operates software design technology processors in the field of security and assistance systems. For the sale, the global "TASKING" business unit first had to be separated from the Altium Group by way of a carve-out.
In addition to negotiating the main documentation, the global coordination of the carve-out was managed by Reed Smith's Frankfurt office through Dr Octávio de Sousa together with Dr Marcel Gellings. In addition to Germany, other companies in the USA, the Netherlands, Russia, Japan, India and China were part of the carve-out.
The closing is still subject to antitrust approval.
