Playtech acquired 70% of CFH on completion and the remaining 30% is subject to put and call options between Playtech and the CFH management team, which can be exercised in 2019.

CFH is a technology company with products including a leading Straight Through Processing brokerage which provides retail brokers with multi-asset execution, prime brokerage services, liquidity and complementary risk management tools. CFH is considered one of the largest and most reputable B2B providers for technology and clearing in the industry.

Commenting on the Stevens & Bolton LLP team, Christian Frahm, founder and CEO of CFH said:

“We ended up doing an excellent deal with Playtech for all employees and shareholders. The transaction was complex as it involved both different legal jurisdictions and regulatory approval.

The S&B team was led by Jonathan Porteous, and included Francesca Messina, Bethany Sheen, Charlie Tillett and Henry Milas.
