CPP has acquired OPP

Lincoln International, a leading global mid-market investment bank, is pleased to announce its role as exclusive financial advisor to CPP in its successful acquisition of OPP, one of Europe’s top business psychology product and services providers.

CPP is the privately owned, exclusive publisher of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (“MBTI®”) assessments. For over 25 years OPP has been CPP’s largest channel partner. As well as developing deep expertise in CPP’s product lines, OPP has created innovative localised content, effective consulting and research services, training programs and supporting solutions and products. This has resulted in OPP working with more than half of the FTSE 100.

Jeff Hayes, President and CEO of CPP, commented, “This transaction represents an important milestone for CPP. By combining these two great companies, we believe we will create something stronger than the sum of their respective parts. We would like to thank the Lincoln team for their guidance and support over the course of these negotiations. We are delighted with the outcome.”

Edward Lethbridge, UK Head of Business Services at Lincoln International, commented, “CPP is a world class business that we were delighted to advise Jeff and his executive team on this strategically important transaction. We were able to use our knowledge of the sector, familiarity of working with private vendors and understanding of cross border deal dynamics to provide strategic advice over a number of months. For Lincoln, it is another important credential in a total of more than twenty Human Capital sector transactions.”
