08/2018	MANAGEMENT & PRIVATE INVESTORS	DESIGUAL	SPAIN	Consumer Products	The deal involves the sale of Eurazeo's 10% stake in Desigual to Thomas Meyer, the company's founder and controlling shareholder. This transaction is the result of a strategic decision by Eurazeo to exit its investment in Desigual, which was made in 2014. During its four-year investment period, Eurazeo actively supported Desigual's transformation, including the development of a new brand image, the expansion of its digital distribution channel, and the optimization of its retail network. The transaction marks the final conclusion of Eurazeo’s investment cycle in the asset. While the exit multiple of 0.5x capital invested reflects the headwinds faced by the retail brand during its transformation phase, the divestment allows Eurazeo to fully reallocate its capital and strategic focus toward higher-yielding investment verticals
