DOMUSVI acquired by PAI PARTNERS

PAI Partners has entered into exclusive negotiations to take control of DomusVi, the third largest French player in the private nursing home sector. Upon completion of the transaction, PAI is expected to hold 70% of the capital alongside an associated fund. The remaining shareholding structure will include DV Holding (controlled by founder Yves Journel) at 25% and the group's management at 5%. This operation facilitates the full exit of the other founding shareholder, Jean,François Gobertier, thereby resolving a long,standing governance conflict between the two founders. The strategic rationale for the deal centers on the consolidation of a market where private actors are gaining share as the state's capacity to maintain market share diminishes. PAI Partners plans to optimize the existing facilities and reduce costs while funding an aggressive acquisition strategy. Several hundred million euros are planned over the next five years for targeted acquisitions, specifically aiming to strengthen the group's presence in Germany and Spain and to continue its development in China. This step is intended to simplify the company’s governance and transform it into an international champion in the management of elderly dependency.
