EURO MEDIA GROUP acquired by PAI PARTNERS

PAI Partners has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire a majority stake in Euro Media Group. The transaction involves the full exit of historical shareholders Bolloré and Allianz Capital Partners, alongside a partial divestment by Banijay Holding. As part of the new capital structure, the Belgian investment firm Sofinim maintains its 22.5% stake, and the co-founding managers, Chantal and Jean-Pierre Barry, also remain as shareholders. This operation follows a period where the company actively sought a new partner after considering an initial public offering (IPO) in 2010. The strategic rationale for the acquisition centers on supporting Euro Media Group’s position as a consolidated leader in the European audiovisual services market. PAI Partners intends to finance the transaction entirely with equity to provide a stable platform for the group's future development. The group’s history of successful cross-border integration, including the acquisitions of UBF Media Group and 3Zero2, provides a robust foundation for further geographic expansion. This partnership is designed to leverage the group's massive technical infrastructure and its status as a descendant of historical production entities to capture growth in the evolving digital media landscape across the Old Continent.
