Océ - Canon Inc.

De Brauw has advised Dutch copier and printer maker Océ on the EUR 730 million public cash offer by Canon (total transaction value amounts to EUR 1.5 billion).

This was the first public company acquisition in the Netherlands by a Japanese enterprise and a challenging cross border and cross cultural matter. The transaction involved extensive non-financial terms to protect Océ's 22.000 employees, its corporate name and head office, brand, R&D and regional presence.
