Gide has advised the founding shareholders of the Visiodent company, and some members of their families, on the simplified tender offer for the balance of its share capital launched by its majority shareholder Groupe Visiodent, a newly created company controlled by said shareholders. This offer was filed following the contribution by the founding shareholders and their families of all the shares they held in the share capital of Visiodent to Groupe Visiodent.
In this context, CM-CIC Capital Privé, through an investment fund under its management, has undertaken to subscribe a minority shareholding in the capital of Groupe Visiodent.
Visiodent is one of France's market leaders for software packages and digital imaging for dental surgeries, with a global offering including the design, publishing and distribution of management software, the development of e-services and software maintenance.

Gide: David-James Sebag and Antoine Tézenas du Montcel (partners), Paul Jourdan-Nayrac and Fanny Esnée (associates) on M&A and securities law aspects, and Delphine Guillotte (associate) on financing aspects.
