Description: GBS Finance acted as financial advisor to Banco Sabadell (20%), Criteria Caixa (20%) and shareholder families (10%) in the sale of their stakes in Luxiona to Sherpa Capital. 

Sabadell and Criteria had been trying to leave Luxiona’s shareholding for some time and they agreed to look for a buyer for the 40% package they controlled until now.  

For Javier Tey, CEO of Luxiona, “the signing of the agreement is excellent news that allows us to fully deploy Luxiona’s strategic plan, aimed at reinforcing and consolidating it as one of the global leaders in lighting solutions for the professional market.”
