ARCHE MC2 acquired by MONTEFIORE INVESTMENT & ACTIVA CAPITAL
Context
Montefiore Investment has entered into exclusive negotiations to acquire a joint-controlling equity stake in Arche MC2, forming an equal 50/50 partnership with the company's historical financial sponsor, Activa Capital. Choosing not to execute a full exit at this stage, Activa Capital has structured this co-investment framework to actively co-sponsor the platform's next growth cycle. Under the updated governance and capital structure, the internal management team will retain a minority equity stake, while Turenne Capital and Groupe Up will fully divest their respective holdings and exit the capital. The investment thesis centers on driving cross-border expansion and product diversification through a powerful dual-sponsor model. For Arche MC2, the strategic rationale focuses on leveraging Montefiore Investment’s established institutional presence and localized operational networks in Italy and Spain to accelerate international market penetration. Concurrently, the post-closing corporate roadmap prioritizes expanding the platform’s core software capabilities and product features—specifically targeting advanced modules in human resources (HR), payroll processing, and regulatory compliance—to maximize customer lifetime value and capture a broader share of the enterprise software market.
ARCHE MC2, which reported an EBITDA margin of in 2025, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of , a level to compare with the average currently observed in the TMT (Tech, Media, Telecom) sector (14.3x).
