Context

Adista signed a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of its peer Waycom. This transformative operation, supported by majority shareholder Equistone, allowed Adista to solidify its position as the premier alternative French B2B operator, second only to the three historical national carriers. The transaction involved a massive reinvestment by Waycom’s management shareholders into the new group, ensuring operational continuity. This merger followed the acquisition of Fingerprint Technologies in 2020, densifying the group's presence in the Paris region and strengthening its capabilities in multi-cloud and connected retail. The combined entity reported a pro-forma turnover of €153 million in 2020 with a total workforce of 720 employees.
