This transaction involves a secondary LBO whereby Qualium Investissement has signed a share purchase agreement to acquire a majority stake in Acolad from Naxicap Partners, concluding a formal sale process managed by Lazard. The financial engineering of the transaction features a balanced governance and equity structure: while Qualium secures a narrow capital majority, Acolad’s CEO, Benjamin du Fraysseix, alongside his family, executes a substantial equity rollover, effectively retaining ultimate voting control within the newly formed holding structure

Acolad group finalized the 100% acquisition of the Dutch company Livewords from the private equity fund Bencis, which had held the asset since spring 2016. This major cross-border build-up transaction enables the acquirer to establish a direct presence in the Netherlands by absorbing the target’s three local offices and 180 employees. Financially, this combination propels the group past the symbolic milestone of 1,000 employees worldwide, with a projected pro forma revenue of over €160 million for the year 2019, significantly scaling up from the €37 million revenue recorded by Livewords in 2018

Proxiserve has been acquired by the Vauban and Asterion as part of a competitive auction process overseen by Natixis Partners. The target emerged from a series of bids that included infrastructure funds and a strategic industry player. The acquisition follows Proxiserve's separation from Veolia and subsequent ownership restructuring, positioning the company for further capital investment and operational scaling. The consortium views the transaction as a means to deepen exposure to the growing smart‑metering and EV‑charging markets in France and to leverage Proxiserve's established customer relationships across residential and commercial segments

This secondary buyout transaction represents the complete ownership transition from Andera Partners to IK Investment Partners’ Small Cap II Fund, executing at a strategic inflection point to transition NetCo from a regional leader into an institutionalized, pan-European conveyor maintenance platform.

Integrating Trinity Fire & Security Systems into its Fire Solutions division, PTSG has finalized this acquisition to achieve immediate sector dominance in the UK compliance market.

The rationale focuses on the highly complementary nature of the target's 2,000-strong customer base, which presents substantial opportunities for cross-selling PTSG’s broader suite of electrical and access services

K-Bro Linen Inc. has definitively agreed to acquire one hundred percent of the share capital of Fishers Topco Ltd., a transaction that establishes the inaugural international footprint for the acquirer outside of Canada. Structured on a cash-free, debt-free basis, the deal involves a base purchase consideration with an additional earn-out mechanism tied to incremental operational performance, entirely funded via an expanded senior secured revolving credit facility. This strategic acquisition represents a pivotal platform investment, providing immediate critical mass within the highly fragmented and mature United Kingdom linen hospitality market

Naxicap Partners has finalized the acquisition of a majority stake in Technicis (now Acolad), executing a primary leveraged buyout (LBO) alongside the company's Chief Executive Officer. The transaction structure involved a significant equity reinvestment from the CEO to align leadership incentives with the group's upcoming strategic milestones. The acquisition's financial engineering relies on a blended debt package comprising both senior and mezzanine credit facilities arranged to fund the buyout and establish a stable capital architecture for the company's next operational cycle

For Latour Capital, the acquisition represented an opportunity to invest in a leading provider of residential technical services with a strong nationwide footprint, a diversified customer base, and a significant proportion of recurring revenue generated through maintenance contracts
