PRESENTATION OF THE GROUP

Our 6 fundamentals

2 LONG TERM Backed by a permanent capital base, Eurazeo benefits from a long-term horizon and precious flexibility to re- invest in its holdings when it believes it is necessary and help them achieve their full growth potential. Because of its positioning as a long-term shareholder, Eurazeo can advance key decisions within its investments, particularly in terms of sustainable development, the benefits of which endure beyond divestment horizons. u Distinguishing feature: “Patient capitalism” inspires a virtuous momentum, conducive to boldness and innovation. It is crucial for the reconciliation of economic development with societal responsibility and for profound business transformation. It allows Eurazeo to conduct carve-outs, which consist of acquiring assets that are not part of the core business of major groups in order to turn them into independent companies that are champions in their field.

Fundamentals Staying true to its values, Eurazeo rolls out a unique model combining a long-term vision and responsibility.

1 INDEPENDENCE

The Eurazeo model combines robustness and stability. This is demonstrated by its tremendous equity investment capacity (permanent capital) combined with its vigorous third-party fund management activity and a lack of structural debt on its balance sheet. Its shareholding structure is made up of a core of family and entrepreneurial investors, some of whom have been present for more than 20 years. Alongside the joint action built around Michel David-Weill, the first key shareholder, the Decaux family became shareholders in June 2017. This new partner shares the same vision of investment based on responsibility and the creation of sustainable value. Its arrival increases Eurazeo’s financial independence and its positioning as a long-term investor. u Distinguishing feature: Responsive and proactive, Eurazeo always has the ability to seize investment opportunities when they present themselves and sell its investments when it wishes.
