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.

PRENAX GROUP, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2025, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, a level to compare with the average currently observed in the Business Services sector (11.3x).

LBO France acquired a majority stake in Prenax concomitantly with Prenax's acquisition of LM Information's subscription management activities and its US subsidiary LM Inc. The combined entity — with a total business volume of approximately €250 million — becomes the independent European leader in information subscription procurement, serving large corporates, public institutions, and academic clients across France, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and the Nordic countries. Andera Partners reinvested alongside LBO France through its ActoMezz III fund, having been a minority shareholder for three years prior.

Prenax acquired LM Information's subscription management activities and its US subsidiary LM Inc. in a transaction executed simultaneously with LBO France's majority investment in Prenax. The acquisition is transformative in nature, combining two highly complementary businesses — Prenax's strong corporate client base and Western European footprint with LM Information's deep academic and public sector expertise and presence across Northern and Central Europe — to create the independent European leader in information subscription procurement. The two entities present strong geographic complementarity particularly in Spain, Belgium, and the Netherlands, with significant synergies expected from the combination.
