CODEX Partners advises Carlyle on the acquisition of a majority stake in CSS AG

The Carlyle Group, with equity from the Carlyle Europe Technology Partners (CETP) IV fund, has acquired a major stake in CSS AG (CSS), a leading German business software provider with a focus on accounting, controlling and human resources (HR) software. Majority shareholder Michael Friemel will retain a large minority stake in CSS and will continue to lead the company as CEO.
