Context
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.
VIDELIO, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2023, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, a level to compare with the average currently observed in the TMT (Tech, Media, Telecom) sector (13.6x).
