Context

Florac Investissement led a Primary Owner Buy-Out (OBO) in MediaSchool, injecting over EUR20 million. The transaction is structured primarily as a capital increase to fund future growth, alongside a partial cash-out of non-operational minority shareholders. The founder retains the majority stake. Historical investor 123 IM (which entered in 2016) reinvests in the operation. The financing is secured through a unitranche debt facility provided by CIC Private Debt and Idinvest Partners, with leverage described as "very reasonable." The goal is to double the group's size within 3-5 years through organic growth and acquisitions.

This transaction is part of the Retail & Consumer industry, which currently tracks an average EBITDA multiple of 10.9x since the beginning of 2026, 11.3% decrease compared to 2025.
