Brockhaus Private Equity has announced the completion of three successful transactions between December 2005 and January 2006. The financial investor has exited its stake in ebs-Holding GmbH, following the flotation of getmobile in August 2005. On the investment side Brockhaus has initiated a new financing round for Armatix GmbH, a specialised provider of electronic gun locking devices. The company has also acquired a 32.25% stake in 4G Systems GmbH as part of a capital increase in which the fund acted as lead investor. The company is a developer of innovative hardware for the telecommunications industry.

Brockhaus sold its stake in ebs-Holding GmbH in December in return for a 4.38% stake (2,723,056 shares) in WireCard AG, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ebs-Holding listed on the Frankfurt Prime Standard. WireCard, a European provider of electronic payment and risk-management systems, announced that it had acquired BETandWIN.com Interactive Entertainment AG as a major new customer in the run-up to the FIFA World Cup.

Brockhaus initiated a capital increase for Armatix, a spin-off from Brockhaus portfolio company SimonsVoss, in December. As a result, L-EigenkapitalAgentur (L-EA), the private equity branch of Landeskreditenbank Baden-Württemberg, provided Armatix with EUR 2.5m in equity financing.

4G Systems GmbH, in which Brockhaus now holds a 32.25% stake, specialises in UMTS-based internet access technologies as well as HSDPA (High Speed Download Package Access), attracting custom from T-Mobile amongst others.
