| 06/2024 | TREVISE PARTICIPATIONS / HIVEST CAPITAL PARTNERS | VIDELIO | FRANCE | Media & Internet | This transaction involves a significant restructuring of the target’s capital, resulting in a newly introduced family office acquiring a controlling majority stake. The operation successfully materializes merely a few years after a previous take-private leveraged buyout. Demonstrating strong ongoing confidence, the former private equity majority owner significantly reinvests to maintain a minority position, alongside another historical institutional shareholder and the executive management team. The acquisition is robustly supported by a comprehensive senior debt package syndicated by a consortium of major banking institutions. The primary strategic rationale is to seize an opportunistic moment to aggressively accelerate the company's development timeline. |
