Commerzbank acted as Debt Advisor to Adam Opel GmbH on this transaction. Marco Molinari, CFO of Adam Opel GmbH, said: "We have received excellent structuring advice. The team's experience with public-backed financings and execution skills were instrumental in putting a transaction together very quickly within a few weeks under extremely challenging circumstances."
