Major acquisition for Exclusive Networks by CD&R and Permira

The consortium formed by CD&R, Everest UK HoldCo Limited and Olivier Breittmayer has obtained all necessary authorizations to finalize the acquisition of a majority stake of 66.7% in Exclusive Networks. This transaction includes a simplified public tender offer, proposed after an exceptional distribution of €5.29 per share, valuing the offer at €18.96 per share. The launch of this offer is planned for early 2025, subject to certain conditions, including the payment of the exceptional distribution, validated at the end of October 2024 at the general meeting of shareholders.

The Board of Directors of Exclusive Networks welcomed this initiative, while awaiting the opinion of the independent expert Finexsi. This acquisition, once completed, will allow the consortium to strengthen its positions in the rapidly expanding technology sector, leveraging the combined skills of the stakeholders.
