2017 HIGHLIGHTS

Two strategic alliances

By concluding two major partnerships that will generate numerous synergies, with Rhône and Idinvest, Eurazeo will double in size and boost its coverage in key markets. p

Rhône An international asset - I n November 2017, Eurazeo entered into a strategic partnership with the transatlantic investment company Rhône, in which Eurazeo will own around 30% of the management company. In return, the Rhône associates will become Eurazeo shareholders. Created in 1996, Rhône has offices in London and New York and manages over €5 billion in assets, including the joint venture set up with WeWork, the world’s number one in collaborative spaces. Its investments, mainly geared towards industry, are highly complementary to those of Eurazeo. Eurazeo and Rhône and a common DNA, brings together two efficient partners, with a similar positioning focusing on mid cap and the same entrepreneurial approach to investing. Both companies will work together to seek investment opportunities and each will be represented on the other’s governance bodies. With this partnership, Eurazeo will reinforce its international foothold, particularly in the United States, enhance its sourcing strategy and boost its investment volume p This major deal, resulting from the former relations between

Idinvest Eurazeo changes dimension - Eurazeo announced the 70%

acquisition of Idinvest, currently owned by the listed investment company IDI (Institut de Développement Industriel - Institute of Industrial Development). Under the agreement, IDI has pledged to sell its entire stake to Eurazeo while Idinvest’s managers will temporarily hold on to 30% of the capital. The company manages €7 billion in assets for insurance companies and major institutional investors as well as for individuals. Founded in 1997 under the name AGF Private Equity, the company has around 90 employees with offices in Paris, Frankfurt, Madrid, Shanghai and Dubai. Operating in four business lines that are complementary to those of Eurazeo (innovation capital, private debt, mandates and funds and growth capital) it has contributed to major European tech success stories in recent years such as Deezer, Criteo, Ouicar, Winamax and Vestiaire Collective. The alliance between the two companies creates a group of €15 billion in assets under management operating in three continents p

“The deal with Rhône, one of the top Private

Equity players, is an investment and a real strategic partnership that will create value for our shareholders, bolster our international ecosystem and boost the growth of our companies.”
