Context

Eurazeo signed an agreement to acquire 100% of the capital of Glion Institute of Higher Education and Les Roches International School of Hotel Management from the US group Laureate Education. Eurazeo acts as the sole investor, providing the full equity requirement. The transaction is a corporate carve-out of two premium assets from Laureate's portfolio. The strategic plan focuses on maintaining the academic autonomy of the schools while accelerating their international development (particularly the recently opened campuses in London and the US) and digital programs. The deal is subject to customary closing conditions.

Target

Glion and Les Roches are two prestigious Swiss private schools specializing in hospitality and luxury management. Together, they enroll nearly 5,000 students (2,000 for Glion, 2,900 for Les Roches) across campuses in Switzerland, the UK, Spain, Jordan, China, and the US. They are consistently ranked among the top 3 hospitality schools worldwide and are accredited by the NEASC.
