EQS-News: HomeToGo SE / Key word(s): Acquisition Update to the Interhome acquisition in response to the Swiss Competition Commission’s announcement regarding the review of the Hotelplan Group acquisition by DERTOUR Group |
Luxembourg, 27 May 2025 - Following today’s announcement by the Swiss Competition Commission (COMCO) regarding the planned acquisition of Hotelplan Group by DERTOUR Group, HomeToGo SE (Frankfurt Stock Exchange: HTG) expects to close its previously announced acquisition of Interhome latest within the next four months.
HomeToGo signed a binding agreement for the Interhome acquisition and successfully completed the related capital increase in February 2025. The Company has received all relevant regulatory approvals already in March 2025.
Today, COMCO announced that it will initiate an in-depth investigation (Phase II review) of the planned acquisition of Hotelplan Group by DERTOUR Group. Neither HomeToGo nor Interhome are directly subject to this review by COMCO. HomeToGo and DERTOUR Group have signed definitive agreements to acquire separate entities of Hotelplan Group in a joint transaction: HomeToGo has signed a binding agreement to acquire Interhome – Europe’s second-largest vacation rental management company – while DERTOUR Group has signed a binding agreement to acquire the other entities of Hotelplan Group. While HomeToGo has already received all necessary regulatory approvals, the transaction as a whole cannot close until the regulatory approval required by COMCO for the DERTOUR Group transaction has also been received. Therefore, the review by COMCO is expected to delay the overall closing, including HomeToGo’s acquisition of Interhome. As a result, HomeToGo expects to close the acquisition latest within the next four months.
