ADIT finalized its 5th LBO with the entry of 8 new investors (UI, Covea, MACSF, etc.) taking 50% of the capital for EUR270M. Historical shareholders (Sagard, Parquest, Amundi) and Management (7%) retain the remaining 50%. Bpifrance reinforces its position (15%) alongside the French State (via APE in DCI). The transaction is supported by a EUR375M unitranche debt (Tikehau, Five Arrows, Eurazeo, CIC, Natixis) to fund a plan aimed at doubling the company's size by 2030.

The ADIT Group acquired a 66% controlling stake in DCI, marking the group's official privatization. The transaction involved ADIT purchasing the entire 33.33% stake held by Sofema and a 21.56% stake from the French State. The French State retains a 34% "blocking minority" stake to safeguard strategic interests. This merger creates a French champion of "soft power" and economic intelligence, combining DCI's military expertise with ADIT's strategic influence. The strategic roadmap includes modernizing services through digitalization, expanding presence in Eastern Europe (Ukraine/Poland) and Africa (where revenue grew to 15% of the total), and strengthening ties with French defense manufacturers.

Sagard entered into exclusive negotiations to become the new reference shareholder of ADIT, acquiring a stake slightly below 50%. This transaction represents the fourth LBO since the company's privatization in 2011. Existing shareholders Parquest Capital, Bpifrance, and Amundi PEF reinvested in the new structure. The French State retained its "golden share" to safeguard strategic national interests. The deal aims to support ADIT's ambition to rival major Anglo-Saxon players and accelerate its expansion into Italy, Germany, and Spain.
