Insolvency administrator Rüdiger Weiß signed a purchase agreement for the "Deutsche Lichtmiete" Group on 31 August 2022. This secures the continuation of the "Deutsche Lichtmiete" business operations. The buyer is "DLM Deutsche Leuchtmittel GmbH", a company of the One Square Group from Munich.
The signing of the contract was preceded by a decision of the creditors' committees of the "Deutsche Lichtmiete" Group a good week ago. In a joint meeting, the committee members had instructed insolvency administrator Rüdiger Weiß to enter into final negotiations with One Square for a continuation solution.
The final negotiations with One Square have now been brought to a successful conclusion. The creditors' committees have already approved the purchase agreements. The transfer of operations will take place on 1 September 2022. The parties have agreed not to disclose the purchase price.
