Eurazeo Acquires The Remaining Capital Of Idinvest Partners

PARIS, Sept. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Eurazeo, which already holds a 80% stake in the capital of Idinvest Partners, announces it has concluded an agreement to accelerate the acquisition of the remaining ordinary shares from Christophe Bavière, Benoist Grossmann and their partners.

This acquisition, which according to the terms of the agreement signed in 2018 was to be completed in successive stages in 2021 and 2022, consolidates the organization of the Group to promote its strategic project. It will enable every company in the portfolio to take full advantage of Eurazeo's range of financial and human resources and allow the new entity to further make use of its teams' strength and complementarity in investment, fundraising and operational expertise.

The acquisition will be completed by the end of 2020. The payment will be made primarily in cash. A portion of the Idinvest shares will be contributed to Eurazeo, which will result in a limited capital increase representing less than 1% of Eurazeo current share capital. The specific terms of the operation will be set out in detail at a later stage.

Virginie Morgon, CEO of Eurazeo, said, 

The acquisition of all of the capital of Idinvest is a logical step. The decision to accelerate the operation confirms the mutual ambition of Idinvest's partners to fully engage in the Group's strategic project and become a European leading benchmark for companies at every stage of their development. With this operation, Eurazeo is offering its shareholders, partner investors and the management teams of our portfolio companies the strength of a unique and integrated Group that has diversified into four asset categories and is made up of expert teams in 10 countries. I am delighted that we have been able to accelerate this operation.
