Context

LBO France and Andera Partners entered into exclusive negotiations for the sale of their combined stake in Prenax Group to Triton. LBO France had acquired its majority stake in October 2020 alongside Andera Acto and the management team, specifically to finance the acquisition of LM Information, which created the European market leader in outsourced subscription management. Over the five-year holding period, LBO France supported Prenax through a major transformation encompassing three bolt-on acquisitions, a management transition, and the launch of a new technology-driven service offering. The transaction is subject to antitrust clearance from the relevant competition authorities.

Target

Prenax Group is the independent European leader in outsourced subscription management services, providing companies with comprehensive management of their professional information subscriptions — covering periodicals, journals, databases, and other recurring information services — on behalf of corporate and institutional clients. The group was built into its current scale through an active buy-and-build strategy.
