Looping Group has undergone a major capital reorganization as the founding management team, led by the President and Managing Director, assumed majority control of the company. Mubadala Capital entered the capital as a significant minority investor to support this management-led buyout, while the previous majority shareholder, Ergon Capital, fully exited its position. Bpifrance, a long-standing partner, also participated in the transaction to maintain its support for the group’s development. The deal was conducted primarily as a private, bilateral agreement and involved a complete restructuring of the group’s existing debt facilities. The previous "first out-second out" financing was replaced by a substantial unitranche facility provided by Hayfin, which also included a dedicated line for capital expenditures. This new financial structure is designed to provide the group with the stability and liquidity required to pursue further international acquisitions and enhance the profitability of its existing leisure assets.

Ergon Capital, in partnership with Bpifrance, has completed the acquisition of a majority stake in Looping Group from H.I.G. Capital. The transaction marks the second leveraged buyout for the group since its inception and is designed to support the next phase of its European expansion. The management team, which has been instrumental in the group's rapid development, remains a significant shareholder and will continue to execute its successful acquisition-led growth strategy. The deal was supported by a senior debt package structured to provide the group with the necessary flexibility for capital expenditures and future bolt-on acquisitions. The strategic rationale for the investment is to consolidate the group's position as a leading regional leisure park operator in Europe by integrating new sites and improving the operational performance of the existing portfolio through best-practice sharing and centralized strategic support.

H.I.G. Capital has completed the acquisition of a portfolio of seven regional leisure parks from Compagnie des Alpes to form the newly established Looping Group. This transaction represents a classic corporate carve-out, as the seller sought to refocus its strategy on major international destination resorts and ski areas. The deal was structured to provide the target with full operational independence, led by an experienced management team drawn from the industry. The strategic rationale for the acquisition is to revitalize these regional assets through dedicated management focus and a significant multi-year investment plan aimed at enhancing the visitor experience and operational margins. This inaugural transaction serves as the foundation for a European "buy-and-build" platform, with the acquirer intending to use the group as a vehicle to consolidate the fragmented regional leisure park market through further acquisitions of similar high-potential assets.
