              <strong>Paris, June 13 – Six months after a change of ownership, Size Factory, the French leader in men's plus sizes clothes, announces the acquisition of Capel, the historic premium player in the sector. Supported by LBO France, Size Factory is accelerating its development strategy in a fast-growing market. The new Capel-Size Factory group brings together the complementary expertise of the two leading brands in men's plus sizes in France, both strongly committed to inclusive and responsible ready-to-wear. Its ambition is to become the benchmark player in Europe.</strong><strong> </strong>\r\n
              \r\n
              In the fashion sector, tall and overweight men are often forgotten, finding it very difficult to find products in their size in traditional ready-to-wear chains or brands. As a result, they tend to turn more to specialist players. Size Factory and Capel are the two main brands and stores in France exclusively dedicated to men who are not of the standard sizes: they dress tall and overweight men with sizes and cuts adapted to all morphologies: from 2XL to 10XL, and up to 2.20m. Inclusive by nature, they enable people who are often excluded from the clothing market to finally dress well.\r\n
              \r\n
              &nbsp;\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>Capel, the premium brand and pioneer in plus-size fashion</strong>\r\n
              \r\n
              Founded in 1958, Capel is the pioneering brand in men's plus-size fashion in France. It offers tall and overweight men up to size 78 a complete, top-of-the-range and contemporary men's wardrobe, perfectly adapted to different morphologies thanks to its unique expertise in sizes and cuts. More than 55 different sizes are available for each model, offering the perfect combination of heights and widths to suit every exceptional stature.\r\n
              \r\n
              Over the years, the brand's reputation has been built on strong values: product quality with exceptional fabrics and materials, cuts designed to guarantee absolute comfort and elegance in all circumstances, and seamless service in its shops.\r\n
              \r\n
              Capel is committed to responsible fashion movement: the company develops products recognised for their quality and durability. It strives to locate its production in France and Europe to offer products that are more responsible and respectful of the environment: "Capel, fashion made in not far away".\r\n
              \r\n

              <strong>Creation of the Capel-Size Factory group</strong>\r\n
              \r\n
              With the acquisition of Capel, Size Factory achieves the initial development objectives formulated with LBO France, and creates the Capel-Size Factory group. This acquisition, entirely financed by Zencap, is a continuation of the impact financing put in place at the time of the LBO in December 2022. The achievement of ESG targets, determined in close collaboration with management and LBO France, will enable the group to accelerate its CSR strategy, with a consequent margin adjustment. The new group's ambition is to become the leading men's plus-size group in Europe, resolutely committed to inclusive and responsible fashion.\r\n
              \r\n
              Capel-Size Factory now operates two brands with complementary positioning: Capel, the sector's premium brand, distributed in its three shops located on the finest shopping streets in Paris, Lyon and Strasbourg; and Size Factory, the multi-brand chain dedicated to men's plus sizes, present in 30 shops on the cities’ outskirts. The new group now brings together the best men's plus-size offering in France and the most expert teams in the market. Capel-Size Factory will thus have the resources to pursue a broader objective of international expansion, alongside LBO France, a multi-specialist investment platform.\r\n
              \r\n
              Jean-Marie Leroy, Partner in charge of LBO France Small Caps activity:<em> "Six months after acquiring a stake in Size Factory, we have already reached a new step in our strategic development. We are particularly pleased to be supporting Capel-Size Factory on this new growth path and to be playing our part in reinventing the ready-to-wear sector, in favour of a more responsible and inclusive fashion."</em>\r\n
              \r\n
              Ambroise Fondeur, CEO of Capel-Size Factory: <em>"The acquisition of Capel should enable us to create the reference group for men's plus sizes in France and Europe. It's an ideal marriage between Capel, the historic player that has developed a strong brand, and Size Factory, the leading specialist player in the sector. By combining the unique expertise of the two teams, we will be strengthening our group and our ability to provide even better clothing for tall and overweight men in France, and globally in the future.”</em>\r\n

              At the forefront of this eco-district, which is about to complete its full redevelopment, NETWORK 2 offers CDC Group's IT services teams a new location with a strong architectural identity and exceptional visibility, where they will move into in S1 2024.\r\n
              \r\n
              Owned since the end of 2020 by LBO France (via its White Stone VII fund) and CDC Investissement Immobilier (on behalf of the Caisse des Dépôts) from the developers Codic and Nexity, this new complex, which is committed to an ecological and responsible approach, benefits from HQE ("Excellent" level) and BREEAM ("Excellent" level) certifications and environmental labels to offer an energy performance in line with RT 2012 - 30%, while also benefiting from a WiredScore "Platinum" level certification.\r\n
              \r\n
              In line with the ESG commitments of LBO France and CDC Investissement Immobilier, these certifications will be supplemented, in collaboration with the future user, by several initiatives in terms of accessibility for people with reduce mobility, equipment for electric vehicles, additional services and catering areas.\r\n
              \r\n
              Julien Rouillon, Managing Director, LBO France: "We are very pleased to welcome the CDC Informatique teams to NETWORK 2, of which the construction works have just been completed. This lease confirms our belief in the attractiveness of the Bagneux sector, which is currently undergoing a major renewal. It also rewards the particular attention paid by our teams and those of our partners to\r\n

              &nbsp;\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>Paris, January 26 – hemea, an architecture and renovation studio, has received the support of two trusted investors to accelerate its development and support its ambitions in the renovation market. LBO France and Daphni are investing €10 million in the company, which has experienced notable growth since its creation in 2015. The two investors are banking on the renovation market, a sector driven by new energy regulations and the desire of individuals to improve their homes.</strong>\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong> </strong>\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong> </strong><strong>The added value of the hemea concept, the human digital</strong>\r\n
              \r\n
              hemea offers support to private individuals from the design to the completion of architectural, renovation, elevation or extension projects. The company's strength is that it has rethought the often stressful "refurbishment works" experience by combining digital technology with direct support on the building site. The client is thus accompanied from A to Z by architects, project managers and support experts who facilitate and secure the completion of the work.\r\n
              \r\n
              With 90 employees so far, the company has already completed more than 3,000 projects.\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong> </strong>\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>Objective: to become the reference for renovation in France by 2025</strong>\r\n
              \r\n
              With 9 agencies in France, hemea intends to continue its development and cover the entire French territory by 2025. It is based on a solid business model, which enables the company to be profitable in Paris and Lyon, the first two cities in which it has established.\r\n
              \r\n
              Thanks to a tailor-made offer, adapted to the specificities of the local market, the Company generates remarkable results in a competitive market.\r\n
              \r\n
              Its ambition, based on a strong social and environmental project, has enabled it to raise €10 million from LBO France and Daphni. These two investors share a common approach: support companies that are committed, meaningful and focused on environmental issues.\r\n

              <strong>A growing renovation market driven by energy efficiency</strong>\r\n
              \r\n
              The fundraising will enable hemea to develop a specific offer in favour of energy renovation because renovation is taking over from new construction!\r\n
              \r\n
              This is one of the main trends of the Opinionway<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1">[1]</a> study carried out in 2021 for hemea and Artemis Courtage, which reveals that 3 out of 5 French people are planning to buy a main home requiring work and are therefore prioritising renovation over construction.\r\n
              \r\n
              hemea is committed to supporting private individuals in their renovation projects while providing them with sound advice on the importance of energy renovation. Supported and surrounded by trusted partners and contractors with the hemea label, the company offers a certified service to meet the growing expectations in this area. A structurally buoyant market, renovation will also be strongly supported in the coming months and years by the new legislation introduced at the beginning of the year, which prohibits the rental of energy sieves.\r\n
              \r\n
              &nbsp;\r\n
              \r\n
              <em>Yann Depoys, managing director of hemea et Matthieu Burin, president and founder of hemea </em>“<em>As CEO and founder of hemea, I am very proud of this milestone with renowned investors and I am convinced that this fundraising will allow us to continue to grow and innovate in order to offer even more value to our customers and to our entire ecosystem</em>” said Matthieu Burin, president and founder of hemea.\r\n
              \r\n
              Stéphanie Casciola, CEO of LBO France and Head of Real Estate and Proptech said: <em>“With hemea, we are completing the fourth investment of Newstone, our impact fund dedicated to Proptech. The demand for property renovation, and more specifically the demand for energy-efficient renovation of these properties, is huge. LBO France is mobilising all of its knowledge and experience in this field to accelerate the development of hemea, a fast-growing company that enables people to project themselves into a greener habitat.”</em>\r\n
              \r\n
              Laura Panquet, Director of Proptech Investment, adds: “<em>The challenges of renovation are massive and individuals are often helpless when faced with the complexity of a project. We chose to support hemea in its growth because the startup has found the solution to provide its customers with a very high level of services: develop the loyalty of quality contractors by providing them with digital tools that simplify their day-to-day work.”</em>\r\n
              \r\n
              “<em>hemea is a player that has emerged as a trusted third party in the world of renovation work, providing the necessary guarantee of quality to satisfy the platform's customers. We are very pleased to continue to participate in financing growth, particularly in the energy renovation segment, which is one of the main levers identified to slowdown climate change</em>”, emphasise Pierre-Yves Meerschman and Stanislas Lot of daphni.\r\n

              <h2 style="text-align: center;">LBO France invests as a majority shareholder in Size Factory, the French leader in men's plus sizes clothes</h2>\r\n
              <strong>Paris, December 13 – LBO France announces the acquisition of a majority stake in Size Factory, a company specialising in men's plus size fashion, alongside the management team and co-founders. This transaction is the sixth investment of its Small Caps Opportunities II fund, dedicated to the development of French and Italian SMEs. The themes of inclusiveness and circular economy, which are part of the company's DNA, reflect LBO France's ESG and climate commitment. With this transaction, Size Factory intends to expand its retail network in France and in Europe and to strengthen its online presence.</strong>\r\n
              \r\n
              Since 2011, Size Factory has specialised in men's plus size fashion, first by offering high-end clothing online, then by extending its network of physical shops. Size Factory distinguishes itself from other players thanks to its premium positioning and its wide range of products, made up of both well-known brands and its own brands. The brand is now the leading dedicated e-commerce site and the leading specialist network with 28 points of sale in France, while showing strong profitability.\r\n
              Size Factory offers a range of clothing from 2XL to 8XL for overweight and tall men, thus meeting a demand that is poorly addressed by traditional players, particularly in the off-line segment. Tall and overweight men find at Size Factory the adapted offer of quality clothing and the personalized advice they need: Size Factory contributes to the well-being and self-affirmation of its customers.\r\n
              This market segment is currently worth more than 1 billion euros in France, including approximately €600 million in the mid and premium segments that the company is targeting.\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>Strengthening its leadership position in France and duplicate the model at the European level</strong>\r\n
              \r\n
              With this capital reorganisation, Size Factory aims at expanding its retail network in France and in Europe and thus develop its presence in the overweight and tall man market.\r\n
              At the same time, Size Factory intends to capitalise on its very high quality of service by reinforcing its omnichannel distribution strategy, which enriches the customer’s experience and increases the number of purchasing possibilities.\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>Affirm and amplify its commitment to a circular economy</strong>\r\n
              \r\n
              This operation should also enable Size Factory to extend its commitment to a circular economy, with the development of a second-hand clothing sales activity. Launched a few months ago, the Troc Your Size application allows exchanges between individuals based on a Vinted-like model, and is intended to become the reference application in the large size segment.\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>Jean-Marie Leroy, Partner in charge of LBO France Small Caps activity, said: "</strong><em>We are particularly pleased to lead this transaction. Size Factory is a unique player in France, in a market where supply is scarce, and demand is increasingly strong. Indeed, Size Factory contributes significantly to the well-being and self-affirmation of its customers. Size Factory is also committed to responsible and sustainable fashion and is fully in line with LBO France's strategic positioning on ESG and climate challenges.</em><strong>"</strong>\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>Ambroise Fondeur, CEO of Size Factory since the beginning of 2022 and a personal investor in this fundraising, said: "</strong><em>We are delighted to open this new chapter in our development alongside a recognised player like LBO France. This partnership opens up exciting new prospects for Size Factory, amongst the consolidation of its presence on the French market and the development of its model in other European countries.</em><strong>"</strong>\r\n

              <h2 style="text-align: center;">LBO France strengthens its digital health team and consolidates its European ambitions with the recruitment of Matthes Seeling as Investment Director based in Berlin</h2>\r\n
              <strong>Paris, October 7, 2022 - As a multi-specialist investment platform, LBO France has developed a Venture - Digital Health activity since 2016 through its SISA and Digital Health 2 funds. The arrival of Matthes Seeling, a medical doctor and Medtech specialist, who will be based in Berlin, will enable the Digital Health team to continue its development in Europe and, in particular, to take advantage of investment opportunities in digital health offered by the DACH region by having a local presence.</strong>\r\n
              \r\n
              As part of its platform strategy, LBO France is developing in-depth expertise in market segments identified as promising. In digital health, LBO France supports companies in the late stage of development whose ambition is to contribute to improving healthcare systems by becoming world leaders in their sector.\r\n
              \r\n
              LBO France's Venture – Digital Health investment team has both sector and business expertise, being composed of doctors and tech specialists. A pioneer in this segment, it was one of the first in Europe to set up a specialized fund and has a track record of 20 investments in France and in the UK.\r\n
              \r\n
              The arrival of Matthes Seeling, a physician and Medtech specialist, will enable the Venture – Digital Health team to directly address companies in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), one of the most dynamic in Europe with approximately €2 billion in cumulative investments between 2010 and 2020 and about the same amount since 2020. By being based in Berlin, Matthes Seeling will be at the heart of one of Europe's most promising ecosystems in the medical field. With 40,000 new companies founded every year, Berlin has become one of the most attractive cities in Europe for start-ups, especially in the field of life sciences and digital health.\r\n
              \r\n
              Matthes Seeling holds a medical degree from the Freie Universität Berlin, a doctorate in medicine from the Charité Berlin and a master's degree in Health Systems Management from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. He began his career within the German hospital group Vivantes as a physician in various Berlin sites.\r\n
              \r\n
              He then joined Berlin's Charité University Hospital first as a specialist physician, before taking over the commercial management of the hospital's Center for Anesthesiology, Intensive Care Medicine and Operating Room Management. Since 2018, he held the position of Director Integrated Healthcare Solutions for Germany at Medtronic, a global American medical technology company. From 2009 to 2011, Matthes Seeling was a consultant and then Deputy Director at the German Hospital Federation.\r\n
              \r\n
              "<em>I am very pleased that Matthes Seeling is joining us. We are convinced that the DACH market has great potential in digital health, which we will be able to seize. Thanks to Matthes, we now have an office in Berlin. His</em>\r\n

              <h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>French construction tech startup Teamoty raises €3 million in Serie A led by </strong><strong>LBO France to expand in France and Europe</strong></h2>\r\n
              Paris, 27 September 2022 –<strong> Teamoty, a pioneer in the digitalisation of the supply chain for construction projects, has raised €3 million to accelerate the marketing of its software suite on the French and European markets. LBO France, a multi-specialist investment platform, is leading the round through NewStone, its impact fund dedicated to Proptech, together with Rise PropTech Fund and BTP Capital Investissement.</strong>\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>A new player in the sector for greater efficiency and positive impact on construction sites</strong>\r\n
              \r\n
              Founded in 2018, Teamoty has developed a software suite capable of digitising site logistics and thus enabling construction professionals to better control costs and deadline management, to improve project productivity, and to reduce the environmental footprint of sites that are very high CO2 and waste emitters. Teamoty's solutions meet an environmental challenge and have a particularly positive impact by limiting the number of deliveries, drastically reducing waste and promoting better recycling by optimising sorting management.\r\n
              \r\n
              In the construction sector, nearly 80% of projects are delivered late or end up over budget due to management tools that are not adapted to the complexity of the sites. To overcome this problem, Teamoty was one of the first in France to use Lean Construction techniques, which optimise the management of construction sites using collaborative management tools. This approach has already convinced more than 100 construction companies, including major players such as Bouygues and Spie Batignolles in France and BPC Group in Belgium. Already translated into 5 languages and tested in more than 11 countries by more than 5,000 users, the software suite is now\r\n
              ready for international deployment.\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>A digital offer to support the global transformation of the construction sector and to improve the attractiveness of the profession to young people</strong>\r\n
              \r\n
              A software suite 100% dedicated to the planning and logistics of construction sites, Teamoty is not a simple digitalization solution, it also helps companies in the sector to transform themselves in a more global and sustainable way. Its solutions, which include two modules published in Saas mode, cover both upstream planning and real-time monitoring of the site, as well as logistics via supply management. They enable each of the trades to be coordinated in real time, to change the way they work together and ultimately to improve the performance of the sites. The aim is to create value and save resources: build faster, better and at lower cost. With this new tool, a real transformation of the sector is underway.\r\n
              \r\n
              Furthermore, solutions such as those offered by Teamoty actively contribute to improving the image and attractiveness of a sector that is still poorly digitalised and still suffers from a lack of manpower and recruitment difficulties, particularly among young people.\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>Deployment and expansion strategy of the offer in Europe</strong>\r\n
              \r\n
              With this first round of financing, Teamoty's strategy is to continue to develop and support the transformation of the sector. The support of LBO France, Rise PropTech Fund and BTP Capital Investissement will enable the company to accelerate its commercial development in France and Europe and to continue to enhance its software suite. This strategy includes the rapid and significant recruitment of new skills.\r\n
              \r\n
              The market on which Teamoty is positioned is developing rapidly due to the awareness of the players in the ecosystem and the regulatory requirements. The objective is to anchor its offer to various clients in new countries and to allow the use of the software suite on all types of projects, in new construction as well as in rehabilitation, for housing as well as for offices, and in the context of public works or civil engineering.\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>Fabien Font, Co-founder and CEO of Teamoty, says:</strong><em> "Over the past 3 years, we have proven that the way projects are planned and organised should and can change. With the help of our shareholders, we will be able to deploy our solutions more widely in Europe and accelerate their commercialisation. Our strategy is completely in line with the environmental challenges that are driving the construction industry to optimise resources on site while improving productivity and efficiency in the construction process.”</em>\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>Stéphanie Casciola, Managing Director of LBO France and in charge of the real estate and proptech business, said:</strong><em> "With Teamoty, we are making our third investment in NewStone, our impact fund dedicated to Proptech. After ZePlug in the energy transition and Hosman in digital transactions, Teamoty addresses a key issue in the construction industry by enabling better resource tracking and supply chain optimisation. LBO France will mobilise all of its experience in impact and its broad knowledge of the real estate sector to accelerate the development of Teamoty, a promising investment that allows us to project ourselves into a sustainable future..”</em>\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>Laura Panquet, Protech's Investment Director, said:</strong> "<em>We are particularly pleased to be leading this financing round and to support Teamoty in a new phase of growth. Through the development of its solution, Teamoty has the potential to bring about a real change in the way construction projects and site logistics are approached.</em>"

              Paris, September 19, 2022 -<strong> Founded in 2018, Incepto is a unique platform on the market that offers doctors and hospitals access to a portfolio of solutions based on artificial intelligence, designed to improve the quality of diagnoses, and save time for medical teams, without having to change equipment. In order to support its growth at a European scale, Incepto is raising €27 million today. The financing round is led by LBO France's Venture - Digital Health team, with the participation of Wille Finance and the historical investors AXA Venture Partners, the Patient Autonome fund of Bpifrance and Karista. This financing marks a new stage for Incepto, which is launching its offer in four new countries in Europe (Germany, Spain, Italy and Portugal).</strong>\r\n
              \r\n
              As part of Incepto’s development, four new subsidiaries are created in Germany, Spain, Italy and Portugal with the aim of anchoring its position as European leader in the sector. with the goal to treat one million European patients per month by 2024.\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong> </strong><strong>From a French start-up to a European scale-up</strong>\r\n
              \r\n
              Incepto is also announcing the signing of five new partnerships (IBlab, Milvue, PAIRE, Smartsoft and Thirona) to expand its portfolio of medical imaging applications for emergency care, oncology, orthopaedics, rheumatology and pneumology.\r\n
              \r\n
              By extending its geographical coverage and developing its portfolio of applications, Incepto is responding to major public health issues: reducing waiting times for examinations, mitigating the lack of specialists for certain serious diseases and supporting doctors' work in the face of the increasing amount of data to be analysed.\r\n
              \r\n
              In light with the explosion of the AI market in Europe, Incepto has three strategic objectives:\r\n
              \r\n
              ▪      <strong>Selecting and make available the most powerful AI solutions </strong>in medical imaging for each specialty, guaranteeing high quality standards;\r\n
              \r\n
              ▪      <strong>Creating, with doctors new </strong>applications that meet real needs but that do not exist yet: ARVA and KEROS are thus the first products co-developed by Incepto for the diagnostic assistance of aortic aneurysms in CT scanners and for MRI of the knee<strong>;</strong>\r\n
              \r\n
              ▪     <strong>Supporting the transformation of organisations </strong>and working methods by rethinking patient care with medical teams to exploit the full potential of artificial intelligence technologies.

              <h2><strong>SiVIEW, a specialist in AI-driven visual diagnostics, announces with LBO France </strong><strong>a capital increase of €5.5M</strong></h2>\r\n
              <strong>The funds will allow the acceleration of SiVIEW's growth and R&amp;D roadmap with the ambition of revolutionizing visual health care.</strong>\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>SiVIEW is a French start-up which has developed a unique artificial intelligence technology that enables reliable, accurate, and fast eye examinations to be performed. This can be delegated by the healthcare professional in order to focus on the patient and optimize the overall care plan. SiVIEW announces that it has raised €5.5M in a Series A round with LBO France's Digital Health 2 fund to accelerate its global expansion and R&amp;D roadmap.</strong>\r\n
              \r\n
              While the need for reliable visual diagnostics is constantly increasing (e.g., due to a pandemic of myopia, increased screen-time, and an aging population), the number of experts able to perform the required examinations is decreasing, and SiVIEW has designed a disruptive innovation that allows quick and easy eye examinations, that are both precise and detailed, to be performed intuitively to support diagnosis and prescription.\r\n
              \r\n
              Founded by vision specialists, SiVIEW addresses a global health issue: to obtain the correct prescription simply and quickly, regardless of the complexity of the visual profile.\r\n
              \r\n
              Marketed after 6 years of R&amp;D, the SiviewExam® solution is compatible with almost all optical equipment on the market and offers quality results (measurements and reports) in less than 8 minutes. It supports the decision-making process, allowing the vision expert to save time and improve efficiency for better patient care. The solution is already used in many European countries and is experiencing a strong growth phase that will accelerate with access to the North American and Asian markets.\r\n
              \r\n
              Just a few days before two major industry trade shows, ESCRS in Milan and SILMO in Paris, SiVIEW has completed this fundraising to:\r\n
              <ul>\r\n
               \t<li>Accelerate its international growth by increasing its investments in sales, marketing, and R&amp;D (e.g., new testing and analysis modules, enhanced instrument interconnectivity, new innovation techniques);</li>\r\n
               \t<li>Position the company as a key player in the management of visual disorders worldwide.</li>\r\n
              </ul>\r\n
              <strong>Laure Pichereau, CEO &amp; Co-founder of SiVIEW</strong>: "<em>Our ambition from the beginning was to become the reference in artificial intelligence-driven eye exams. Once the SiVIEW solution was ready for commercialization, we received the support of major optical and ophthalmology chains in France and abroad. We are honored to welcome LBO France, leading specialist in digital health, as an investor and partner. I am personally very pleased with the trusting relationship that we have built together and which will enable us to work efficiently in this new phase of growth. I would also like to thank our historical investors, CARENCEAU and FIME, for their unwavering support since they joined the capital structure in 2018</em>."\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>Franck Noiret, Managing Director of LBO France</strong>: "<em>We are very pleased to partner with SiVIEW and its founders who are recognized experts in the field. With its dual expertise in AI and optometry, SiVIEW has developed a unique software solution based on an intelligent and intuitive algorithm that automates eye exams and improves patient care. Commercialized in SaaS mode, the SiVIEW solution is aimed at the global market. This is the 7th investment of our Digital Health 2 fund, which is dedicated to financing innovative digital health companies in Europe. We are delighted to support them in their ambitious international development</em>."\r\n

          <strong>Paris, June 13 – Six months after a change of ownership, Size Factory, the French leader in men's plus sizes clothes, announces the acquisition of Capel, the historic premium player in the sector. Supported by LBO France, Size Factory is accelerating its development strategy in a fast-growing market. The new Capel-Size Factory group brings together the complementary expertise of the two leading brands in men's plus sizes in France, both strongly committed to inclusive and responsible ready-to-wear. Its ambition is to become the benchmark player in Europe.</strong><strong> </strong>\r\n
          \r\n
          In the fashion sector, tall and overweight men are often forgotten, finding it very difficult to find products in their size in traditional ready-to-wear chains or brands. As a result, they tend to turn more to specialist players. Size Factory and Capel are the two main brands and stores in France exclusively dedicated to men who are not of the standard sizes: they dress tall and overweight men with sizes and cuts adapted to all morphologies: from 2XL to 10XL, and up to 2.20m. Inclusive by nature, they enable people who are often excluded from the clothing market to finally dress well.\r\n
          \r\n
          &nbsp;\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>Capel, the premium brand and pioneer in plus-size fashion</strong>\r\n
          \r\n
          Founded in 1958, Capel is the pioneering brand in men's plus-size fashion in France. It offers tall and overweight men up to size 78 a complete, top-of-the-range and contemporary men's wardrobe, perfectly adapted to different morphologies thanks to its unique expertise in sizes and cuts. More than 55 different sizes are available for each model, offering the perfect combination of heights and widths to suit every exceptional stature.\r\n
          \r\n
          Over the years, the brand's reputation has been built on strong values: product quality with exceptional fabrics and materials, cuts designed to guarantee absolute comfort and elegance in all circumstances, and seamless service in its shops.\r\n

          Capel is committed to responsible fashion movement: the company develops products recognised for their quality and durability.

          <strong>Creation of the Capel-Size Factory group</strong>\r\n
          \r\n
          With the acquisition of Capel, Size Factory achieves the initial development objectives formulated with LBO France, and creates the Capel-Size Factory group. This acquisition, entirely financed by Zencap, is a continuation of the impact financing put in place at the time of the LBO in December 2022. The achievement of ESG targets, determined in close collaboration with management and LBO France, will enable the group to accelerate its CSR strategy, with a consequent margin adjustment. The new group's ambition is to become the leading men's plus-size group in Europe, resolutely committed to inclusive and responsible fashion.\r\n
          \r\n
          Capel-Size Factory now operates two brands with complementary positioning: Capel, the sector's premium brand, distributed in its three shops located on the finest shopping streets in Paris, Lyon and Strasbourg; and Size Factory, the multi-brand chain dedicated to men's plus sizes, present in 30 shops on the cities’ outskirts. The new group now brings together the best men's plus-size offering in France and the most expert teams in the market. Capel-Size Factory will thus have the resources to pursue a broader objective of international expansion, alongside LBO France, a multi-specialist investment platform.\r\n
          \r\n
          Jean-Marie Leroy, Partner in charge of LBO France Small Caps activity:<em> "Six months after acquiring a stake in Size Factory, we have already reached a new step in our strategic development. We are particularly pleased to be supporting Capel-Size Factory on this new growth path and to be playing our part in reinventing the ready-to-wear sector, in favour of a more responsible and inclusive fashion."</em>\r\n
          \r\n
          Ambroise Fondeur, CEO of Capel-Size Factory: <em>"The acquisition of Capel should enable us to create the reference group for men's plus sizes in France and Europe. It's an ideal marriage between Capel, the historic player that has developed a strong brand, and Size Factory, the leading specialist player in the sector. By combining the unique expertise of the two teams, we will be strengthening our group and our ability to provide even better clothing for tall and overweight men in France, and globally in the future.”</em>\r\n

          \r\n
          Located at the entrance to the city of Bagneux, in the immediate vicinity of metro line 4 and RER B stations "Laplace" and "Arcueil Cachan", the NETWORK 2 building offers 16,000 sq.m of office space organised around 2 interior gardens, multiple spaces dedicated to services on the ground floor and an attic space with a roof-top of over 300 sq.m.\r\n

          \r\n
          Owned since the end of 2020 by LBO France (via its White Stone VII fund) and CDC Investissement Immobilier (on behalf of the Caisse des Dépôts) from the developers Codic and Nexity, this new complex, which is committed to an ecological and responsible approach, benefits from HQE ("Excellent" level) and BREEAM ("Excellent" level) certifications and environmental labels to offer an energy performance in line with RT 2012 - 30%, while also benefiting from a WiredScore "Platinum" level certification.\r\n
          \r\n
          In line with the ESG commitments of LBO France and CDC Investissement Immobilier, these certifications will be supplemented, in collaboration with the future user, by several initiatives in terms of accessibility for people with reduce mobility, equipment for electric vehicles, additional services and catering areas.\r\n
          \r\n
          Julien Rouillon, Managing Director, LBO France: "We are very pleased to welcome the CDC Informatique teams to NETWORK 2, of which the construction works have just been completed.

          <strong>Paris, January 26 – hemea, an architecture and renovation studio, has received the support of two trusted investors to accelerate its development and support its ambitions in the renovation market. LBO France and Daphni are investing €10 million in the company, which has experienced notable growth since its creation in 2015. The two investors are banking on the renovation market, a sector driven by new energy regulations and the desire of individuals to improve their homes.</strong>\r\n

          \r\n
          hemea offers support to private individuals from the design to the completion of architectural, renovation, elevation or extension projects. The company's strength is that it has rethought the often stressful "refurbishment works" experience by combining digital technology with direct support on the building site. The client is thus accompanied from A to Z by architects, project managers and support experts who facilitate and secure the completion of the work.\r\n
          \r\n
          With 90 employees so far, the company has already completed more than 3,000 projects.\r\n

          <strong>Objective: to become the reference for renovation in France by 2025</strong>\r\n
          \r\n
          With 9 agencies in France, hemea intends to continue its development and cover the entire French territory by 2025. It is based on a solid business model, which enables the company to be profitable in Paris and Lyon, the first two cities in which it has established.\r\n
          \r\n
          Thanks to a tailor-made offer, adapted to the specificities of the local market, the Company generates remarkable results in a competitive market.\r\n
          \r\n
          Its ambition, based on a strong social and environmental project, has enabled it to raise €10 million from LBO France and Daphni. These two investors share a common approach: support companies that are committed, meaningful and focused on environmental issues.\r\n
          \r\n
          &nbsp;\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>A growing renovation market driven by energy efficiency</strong>\r\n
          \r\n
          The fundraising will enable hemea to develop a specific offer in favour of energy renovation because renovation is taking over from new construction!\r\n
          \r\n
          This is one of the main trends of the Opinionway<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1">[1]</a> study carried out in 2021 for hemea and Artemis Courtage, which reveals that 3 out of 5 French people are planning to buy a main home requiring work and are therefore prioritising renovation over construction.\r\n
          \r\n
          hemea is committed to supporting private individuals in their renovation projects while providing them with sound advice on the importance of energy renovation. Supported and surrounded by trusted partners and contractors with the hemea label, the company offers a certified service to meet the growing expectations in this area. A structurally buoyant market, renovation will also be strongly supported in the coming months and years by the new legislation introduced at the beginning of the year, which prohibits the rental of energy sieves.\r\n
          \r\n
          &nbsp;\r\n
          \r\n
          <em>Yann Depoys, managing director of hemea et Matthieu Burin, president and founder of hemea </em>“<em>As CEO and founder of hemea, I am very proud of this milestone with renowned investors and I am convinced that this fundraising will allow us to continue to grow and innovate in order to offer even more value to our customers and to our entire ecosystem</em>” said Matthieu Burin, president and founder of hemea.\r\n
          \r\n
          Stéphanie Casciola, CEO of LBO France and Head of Real Estate and Proptech said: <em>“With hemea, we are completing the fourth investment of Newstone, our impact fund dedicated to Proptech. The demand for property renovation, and more specifically the demand for energy-efficient renovation of these properties, is huge. LBO France is mobilising all of its knowledge and experience in this field to accelerate the development of hemea, a fast-growing company that enables people to project themselves into a greener habitat.”</em>\r\n
          \r\n
          Laura Panquet, Director of Proptech Investment, adds: “<em>The challenges of renovation are massive and individuals are often helpless when faced with the complexity of a project. We chose to support hemea in its growth because the startup has found the solution to provide its customers with a very high level of services: develop the loyalty of quality contractors by providing them with digital tools that simplify their day-to-day work.”</em>\r\n
          \r\n
          “<em>hemea is a player that has emerged as a trusted third party in the world of renovation work, providing the necessary guarantee of quality to satisfy the platform's customers. We are very pleased to continue to participate in financing growth, particularly in the energy renovation segment, which is one of the main levers identified to slowdown climate change</em>”, emphasise Pierre-Yves Meerschman and Stanislas Lot of daphni.\r\n

          <h2 style="text-align: center;">LBO France invests as a majority shareholder in Size Factory, the French leader in men's plus sizes clothes</h2>\r\n
          <strong>Paris, December 13 – LBO France announces the acquisition of a majority stake in Size Factory, a company specialising in men's plus size fashion, alongside the management team and co-founders. This transaction is the sixth investment of its Small Caps Opportunities II fund, dedicated to the development of French and Italian SMEs. The themes of inclusiveness and circular economy, which are part of the company's DNA, reflect LBO France's ESG and climate commitment. With this transaction, Size Factory intends to expand its retail network in France and in Europe and to strengthen its online presence.</strong>\r\n
          \r\n
          Since 2011, Size Factory has specialised in men's plus size fashion, first by offering high-end clothing online, then by extending its network of physical shops. Size Factory distinguishes itself from other players thanks to its premium positioning and its wide range of products, made up of both well-known brands and its own brands. The brand is now the leading dedicated e-commerce site and the leading specialist network with 28 points of sale in France, while showing strong profitability.\r\n
          Size Factory offers a range of clothing from 2XL to 8XL for overweight and tall men, thus meeting a demand that is poorly addressed by traditional players, particularly in the off-line segment. Tall and overweight men find at Size Factory the adapted offer of quality clothing and the personalized advice they need: Size Factory contributes to the well-being and self-affirmation of its customers.\r\n
          This market segment is currently worth more than 1 billion euros in France, including approximately €600 million in the mid and premium segments that the company is targeting.\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>Strengthening its leadership position in France and duplicate the model at the European level</strong>\r\n
          \r\n
          With this capital reorganisation, Size Factory aims at expanding its retail network in France and in Europe and thus develop its presence in the overweight and tall man market.\r\n
          At the same time, Size Factory intends to capitalise on its very high quality of service by reinforcing its omnichannel distribution strategy, which enriches the customer’s experience and increases the number of purchasing possibilities.\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>Affirm and amplify its commitment to a circular economy</strong>\r\n
          \r\n
          This operation should also enable Size Factory to extend its commitment to a circular economy, with the development of a second-hand clothing sales activity. Launched a few months ago, the Troc Your Size application allows exchanges between individuals based on a Vinted-like model, and is intended to become the reference application in the large size segment.\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>Jean-Marie Leroy, Partner in charge of LBO France Small Caps activity, said: "</strong><em>We are particularly pleased to lead this transaction. Size Factory is a unique player in France, in a market where supply is scarce, and demand is increasingly strong. Indeed, Size Factory contributes significantly to the well-being and self-affirmation of its customers. Size Factory is also committed to responsible and sustainable fashion and is fully in line with LBO France's strategic positioning on ESG and climate challenges.</em><strong>"</strong>\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>Ambroise Fondeur, CEO of Size Factory since the beginning of 2022 and a personal investor in this fundraising, said: "</strong><em>We are delighted to open this new chapter in our development alongside a recognised player like LBO France. This partnership opens up exciting new prospects for Size Factory, amongst the consolidation of its presence on the French market and the development of its model in other European countries.</em><strong>"</strong>\r\n

          <h2 style="text-align: center;">LBO France strengthens its digital health team and consolidates its European ambitions with the recruitment of Matthes Seeling as Investment Director based in Berlin</h2>\r\n
          <strong>Paris, October 7, 2022 - As a multi-specialist investment platform, LBO France has developed a Venture - Digital Health activity since 2016 through its SISA and Digital Health 2 funds. The arrival of Matthes Seeling, a medical doctor and Medtech specialist, who will be based in Berlin, will enable the Digital Health team to continue its development in Europe and, in particular, to take advantage of investment opportunities in digital health offered by the DACH region by having a local presence.</strong>\r\n
          \r\n
          As part of its platform strategy, LBO France is developing in-depth expertise in market segments identified as promising. In digital health, LBO France supports companies in the late stage of development whose ambition is to contribute to improving healthcare systems by becoming world leaders in their sector.\r\n
          \r\n
          LBO France's Venture – Digital Health investment team has both sector and business expertise, being composed of doctors and tech specialists. A pioneer in this segment, it was one of the first in Europe to set up a specialized fund and has a track record of 20 investments in France and in the UK.\r\n
          \r\n
          The arrival of Matthes Seeling, a physician and Medtech specialist, will enable the Venture – Digital Health team to directly address companies in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), one of the most dynamic in Europe with approximately €2 billion in cumulative investments between 2010 and 2020 and about the same amount since 2020. By being based in Berlin, Matthes Seeling will be at the heart of one of Europe's most promising ecosystems in the medical field. With 40,000 new companies founded every year, Berlin has become one of the most attractive cities in Europe for start-ups, especially in the field of life sciences and digital health.\r\n
          \r\n
          Matthes Seeling holds a medical degree from the Freie Universität Berlin, a doctorate in medicine from the Charité Berlin and a master's degree in Health Systems Management from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. He began his career within the German hospital group Vivantes as a physician in various Berlin sites.\r\n
          \r\n
          He then joined Berlin's Charité University Hospital first as a specialist physician, before taking over the commercial management of the hospital's Center for Anesthesiology, Intensive Care Medicine and Operating Room Management. Since 2018, he held the position of Director Integrated Healthcare Solutions for Germany at Medtronic, a global American medical technology company. From 2009 to 2011, Matthes Seeling was a consultant and then Deputy Director at the German Hospital Federation.\r\n
          \r\n
          "<em>I am very pleased that Matthes Seeling is joining us. We are convinced that the DACH market has great potential in digital health, which we will be able to seize. Thanks to Matthes, we now have an office in Berlin. His</em>\r\n
          <em>international background and vision of tomorrow's healthcare will also be invaluable in our European ambition to support the dynamics of our Venture - Digital Health activities</em>" <strong>says Valéry Huot, Partner, Head of Venture - </strong><strong>Digital Health.</strong>

          <strong>Press release</strong>\r\n
          <h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>French construction tech startup Teamoty raises €3 million in Serie A led by </strong><strong>LBO France to expand in France and Europe</strong></h2>\r\n
          Paris, 27 September 2022 –<strong> Teamoty, a pioneer in the digitalisation of the supply chain for construction projects, has raised €3 million to accelerate the marketing of its software suite on the French and European markets. LBO France, a multi-specialist investment platform, is leading the round through NewStone, its impact fund dedicated to Proptech, together with Rise PropTech Fund and BTP Capital Investissement.</strong>\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>A new player in the sector for greater efficiency and positive impact on construction sites</strong>\r\n
          \r\n
          Founded in 2018, Teamoty has developed a software suite capable of digitising site logistics and thus enabling construction professionals to better control costs and deadline management, to improve project productivity, and to reduce the environmental footprint of sites that are very high CO2 and waste emitters. Teamoty's solutions meet an environmental challenge and have a particularly positive impact by limiting the number of deliveries, drastically reducing waste and promoting better recycling by optimising sorting management.\r\n
          \r\n
          In the construction sector, nearly 80% of projects are delivered late or end up over budget due to management tools that are not adapted to the complexity of the sites. To overcome this problem, Teamoty was one of the first in France to use Lean Construction techniques, which optimise the management of construction sites using collaborative management tools. This approach has already convinced more than 100 construction companies, including major players such as Bouygues and Spie Batignolles in France and BPC Group in Belgium. Already translated into 5 languages and tested in more than 11 countries by more than 5,000 users, the software suite is now\r\n
          ready for international deployment.\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>A digital offer to support the global transformation of the construction sector and to improve the attractiveness of the profession to young people</strong>\r\n
          \r\n
          A software suite 100% dedicated to the planning and logistics of construction sites, Teamoty is not a simple digitalization solution, it also helps companies in the sector to transform themselves in a more global and sustainable way. Its solutions, which include two modules published in Saas mode, cover both upstream planning and real-time monitoring of the site, as well as logistics via supply management. They enable each of the trades to be coordinated in real time, to change the way they work together and ultimately to improve the performance of the sites. The aim is to create value and save resources: build faster, better and at lower cost. With this new tool, a real transformation of the sector is underway.\r\n
          \r\n
          Furthermore, solutions such as those offered by Teamoty actively contribute to improving the image and attractiveness of a sector that is still poorly digitalised and still suffers from a lack of manpower and recruitment difficulties, particularly among young people.\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>Deployment and expansion strategy of the offer in Europe</strong>\r\n
          \r\n
          With this first round of financing, Teamoty's strategy is to continue to develop and support the transformation of the sector. The support of LBO France, Rise PropTech Fund and BTP Capital Investissement will enable the company to accelerate its commercial development in France and Europe and to continue to enhance its software suite. This strategy includes the rapid and significant recruitment of new skills.\r\n
          \r\n
          The market on which Teamoty is positioned is developing rapidly due to the awareness of the players in the ecosystem and the regulatory requirements. The objective is to anchor its offer to various clients in new countries and to allow the use of the software suite on all types of projects, in new construction as well as in rehabilitation, for housing as well as for offices, and in the context of public works or civil engineering.\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>Fabien Font, Co-founder and CEO of Teamoty, says:</strong><em> "Over the past 3 years, we have proven that the way projects are planned and organised should and can change. With the help of our shareholders, we will be able to deploy our solutions more widely in Europe and accelerate their commercialisation. Our strategy is completely in line with the environmental challenges that are driving the construction industry to optimise resources on site while improving productivity and efficiency in the construction process.”</em>\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>Stéphanie Casciola, Managing Director of LBO France and in charge of the real estate and proptech business, said:</strong><em> "With Teamoty, we are making our third investment in NewStone, our impact fund dedicated to Proptech. After ZePlug in the energy transition and Hosman in digital transactions, Teamoty addresses a key issue in the construction industry by enabling better resource tracking and supply chain optimisation. LBO France will mobilise all of its experience in impact and its broad knowledge of the real estate sector to accelerate the development of Teamoty, a promising investment that allows us to project ourselves into a sustainable future..”</em>\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>Laura Panquet, Protech's Investment Director, said:</strong> "<em>We are particularly pleased to be leading this financing round and to support Teamoty in a new phase of growth. Through the development of its solution, Teamoty has the potential to bring about a real change in the way construction projects and site logistics are approached.</em>"

          <strong>Press release</strong>\r\n
          <h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong> </strong><strong>Incepto, the French digital health specialist, is raising </strong><strong>€27 million to support its European development</strong></h2>\r\n
          Paris, September 19, 2022 -<strong> Founded in 2018, Incepto is a unique platform on the market that offers doctors and hospitals access to a portfolio of solutions based on artificial intelligence, designed to improve the quality of diagnoses, and save time for medical teams, without having to change equipment. In order to support its growth at a European scale, Incepto is raising €27 million today. The financing round is led by LBO France's Venture - Digital Health team, with the participation of Wille Finance and the historical investors AXA Venture Partners, the Patient Autonome fund of Bpifrance and Karista. This financing marks a new stage for Incepto, which is launching its offer in four new countries in Europe (Germany, Spain, Italy and Portugal).</strong>\r\n
          \r\n
          As part of Incepto’s development, four new subsidiaries are created in Germany, Spain, Italy and Portugal with the aim of anchoring its position as European leader in the sector. with the goal to treat one million European patients per month by 2024.\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong> </strong><strong>From a French start-up to a European scale-up</strong>\r\n
          \r\n
          Incepto is also announcing the signing of five new partnerships (IBlab, Milvue, PAIRE, Smartsoft and Thirona) to expand its portfolio of medical imaging applications for emergency care, oncology, orthopaedics, rheumatology and pneumology.\r\n
          \r\n
          By extending its geographical coverage and developing its portfolio of applications, Incepto is responding to major public health issues: reducing waiting times for examinations, mitigating the lack of specialists for certain serious diseases and supporting doctors' work in the face of the increasing amount of data to be analysed.\r\n
          \r\n
          In light with the explosion of the AI market in Europe, Incepto has three strategic objectives:\r\n
          \r\n
          ▪      <strong>Selecting and make available the most powerful AI solutions </strong>in medical imaging for each specialty, guaranteeing high quality standards;\r\n
          \r\n
          ▪      <strong>Creating, with doctors new </strong>applications that meet real needs but that do not exist yet: ARVA and KEROS are thus the first products co-developed by Incepto for the diagnostic assistance of aortic aneurysms in CT scanners and for MRI of the knee<strong>;</strong>\r\n
          \r\n
          ▪     <strong>Supporting the transformation of organisations </strong>and working methods by rethinking patient care with medical teams to exploit the full potential of artificial intelligence technologies.

          <h2><strong>SiVIEW, a specialist in AI-driven visual diagnostics, announces with LBO France </strong><strong>a capital increase of €5.5M</strong></h2>\r\n
          <strong>The funds will allow the acceleration of SiVIEW's growth and R&amp;D roadmap with the ambition of revolutionizing visual health care.</strong>\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>SiVIEW is a French start-up which has developed a unique artificial intelligence technology that enables reliable, accurate, and fast eye examinations to be performed. This can be delegated by the healthcare professional in order to focus on the patient and optimize the overall care plan. SiVIEW announces that it has raised €5.5M in a Series A round with LBO France's Digital Health 2 fund to accelerate its global expansion and R&amp;D roadmap.</strong>\r\n
          \r\n
          While the need for reliable visual diagnostics is constantly increasing (e.g., due to a pandemic of myopia, increased screen-time, and an aging population), the number of experts able to perform the required examinations is decreasing, and SiVIEW has designed a disruptive innovation that allows quick and easy eye examinations, that are both precise and detailed, to be performed intuitively to support diagnosis and prescription.\r\n
          \r\n
          Founded by vision specialists, SiVIEW addresses a global health issue: to obtain the correct prescription simply and quickly, regardless of the complexity of the visual profile.\r\n
          \r\n
          Marketed after 6 years of R&amp;D, the SiviewExam® solution is compatible with almost all optical equipment on the market and offers quality results (measurements and reports) in less than 8 minutes. It supports the decision-making process, allowing the vision expert to save time and improve efficiency for better patient care. The solution is already used in many European countries and is experiencing a strong growth phase that will accelerate with access to the North American and Asian markets.\r\n
          \r\n
          Just a few days before two major industry trade shows, ESCRS in Milan and SILMO in Paris, SiVIEW has completed this fundraising to:\r\n
          <ul>\r\n
           \t<li>Accelerate its international growth by increasing its investments in sales, marketing, and R&amp;D (e.g., new testing and analysis modules, enhanced instrument interconnectivity, new innovation techniques);</li>\r\n
           \t<li>Position the company as a key player in the management of visual disorders worldwide.</li>\r\n
          </ul>\r\n
          <strong>Laure Pichereau, CEO &amp; Co-founder of SiVIEW</strong>: "<em>Our ambition from the beginning was to become the reference in artificial intelligence-driven eye exams. Once the SiVIEW solution was ready for commercialization, we received the support of major optical and ophthalmology chains in France and abroad. We are honored to welcome LBO France, leading specialist in digital health, as an investor and partner. I am personally very pleased with the trusting relationship that we have built together and which will enable us to work efficiently in this new phase of growth. I would also like to thank our historical investors, CARENCEAU and FIME, for their unwavering support since they joined the capital structure in 2018</em>."\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>Franck Noiret, Managing Director of LBO France</strong>: "<em>We are very pleased to partner with SiVIEW and its founders who are recognized experts in the field. With its dual expertise in AI and optometry, SiVIEW has developed a unique software solution based on an intelligent and intuitive algorithm that automates eye exams and improves patient care. Commercialized in SaaS mode, the SiVIEW solution is aimed at the global market. This is the 7th investment of our Digital Health 2 fund, which is dedicated to financing innovative digital health companies in Europe. We are delighted to support them in their ambitious international development</em>."\r\n

          <strong>Press release</strong>\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>Paris/Milan, 12 September 2022</strong>\r\n
          <h2><strong>LBO France announces the acquisition of a majority stake in</strong> <strong>Zato, a leader in the design and manufacture of ferrous and non-ferrous metal recycling facilities</strong></h2>\r\n
          <strong>Paris/Milan, 12 September 2022</strong> - Gioconda, the Italian subsidiary of LBO France, announced today the acquisition of a majority stake, through the Small Caps Opportunities II fund, in Zato, an Italian company founded in Brescia and a major player in the energy transition for over twenty years. Zato's founders, Valerio Zanaglio and Alessandra Bresciani, who reinvested in this transaction, will continue to manage the Company. Banca Ifis S.p.A. enters as a co-investor and confirms its role in supporting highly innovative companies committed to the green economy.\r\n
          \r\n
          Based on a strategy focused on innovation and the development of the circular economy, Zato has a rapidly growing turnover of almost €40 million and employs more than 40 highly skilled people. Through the use of artificial intelligence algorithms and IoT devices, Zato has been able to implement cutting-edge equipment for the recycling industry, a market previously characterised by mature products. With a presence in 25 countries, including the United States and Japan, and with over 85% of its turnover generated internationally, the group has become a world leader in the design and manufacture of ferrous and non-ferrous metal recycling facilities.\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>Arthur Bernardin, Partner Small Cap, and Chiara Venezia, Investment Director Small Cap at LBO France, said: </strong><em>“This investment represents a tremendous opportunity to position ourselves in the energy transition and fits perfectly with LBO France's strategy to accelerate on ESG &amp; Climate factors. Our objective will be to support Valerio Zanaglio, Alessandra Bresciani, and their entire team in a new phase of expansion of the company. In particular, we aim to strengthen its presence in new markets and to reinforce its position as an innovation leader through the use of innovative technologies.”</em>\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>Alessandra Bresciani and Valerio Zanaglio, Founders of Zato, said:</strong><em> "We are extremely pleased to have LBO France at our side to consolidate and accelerate the strong growth that our company has experienced in recent years. The expertise, international vision and strategic support that LBO France will provide to the Zato team will be essential to establish Zato as a global leader in the recycling and green economy.</em>\r\n
          \r\n
          Zato is the fifth investment in Italy by LBO France's Small Caps Opportunities funds after Vetroelite, Bluclad, Demas and Astidental Bquadro.

              \r\n
              <strong>Paris, September 14<sup>th</sup>, 2020</strong>\r\n
              \r\n
              &nbsp;\r\n
              \r\n
              Natixis, Socfim and SCOR Investment Partners support LBO France in its partnership with Colonies, a French leader in coliving\r\n
              \r\n
              &nbsp;\r\n
              \r\n
              Just before the lockdown, LBO France had signed an exclusive partnership with Colonies, one of the main coliving players. LBO France will invest up to €150m to finance the acquisition of a hundred of houses over the next two to three years. These houses will be restructured and renovated, and Colonies will operate them under long-term leases.\r\n
              \r\n
              This new way of living, inspired by house-sharing, addresses the shortage of quality urban housing and increasing mobility. Under a coliving arrangement, each resident has a private furnished and equipped space (a room, studio or apartment) and access to common areas and appliances (dining room, kitchen, laundry room, fitness room, spa, or home cinema). Its all-inclusive formula includes access to many services (housekeeping, Wi-Fi, laundry, reception desk, etc.) and provides lots of flexibility on a market that lacks innovation. This offer is dedicated to young professionals, professionals on extended business trips, and temporary expatriates or, on a more one-off basis, people in professional or personal transition.\r\n
              \r\n
              Confident in the potential of this expanding market that is rethinking the models of the residential sector, a banking pool including Natixis, Socfim and SCOR Investment Partners has granted LBO France a credit line with a 60% leverage. It will finance the purchase of houses and renovation costs. LBO France can draw down such credit line on a discretionary basis as acquisitions are made. Twenty houses are already in the pipe in the Paris region, Lille, Marseille and Bordeaux.\r\n
              \r\n
              &nbsp;\r\n
              \r\n
              <em>“We are very pleased to be granted once again the confidence and full support of our banking partners and SCOR Investment Partners in this operation. They adjusted their financing by offering a tailored solution for this atypical operation and have been highly reactive despite the lockdown”, </em>said <strong>Stéphanie Casciola, Head of Real Estate at LBO France</strong>.\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>Thierry Bernard, Head of Real Estate and Hospitality Finance Europe</strong>, said:<em> “We are happy to support LBO France in this new asset class, which should expand tremendously over the coming years. Financing has been tailored to LBO France’s needs, particularly in quickly acquiring a significant portfolio of promising houses.”</em>\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>Sandrine Amsili, Head of Real-Estate Debt at SCOR Investment Partners</strong>, said:<em> “As a player in specialised real-estate financing in the value-added segment, we are proud to take part in this innovative venture. Given its positioning and real estate and financial features, this deal meets our lending standards. Moreover, in helping facilitate access to quality housing, it includes a societal dimension that reflects our desire, as an asset manager, to finance sustainable projects.”</em>

              <strong>Paris &amp; Milan, May 13<sup>th</sup>, 2020</strong><strong> - </strong>Gioconda, the Italian subsidiary of LBO France, announced today it has taken a majority stake, through its Small Caps Opportunities fund, in Italian group Demas, a specialist distributor of veterinary products for pets. The transaction was done alongside two Italian co-investors, the Banca IFIS group (an Italian specialty finance institution) and the Giovanni Ambrosetti group, as well as Demas’ management team including Fabrizio Foglietti, who remains Chairman. The Foglietti family, hitherto sole owner, remains heavily invested alongside the new shareholders.\r\n
              \r\n
              Demas is a family company founded in 1969 by Remo Foglietti. Over time, it has gradually come to specialise in pet products. This focus was enhanced by the signing of a commercial agreement in 1996 with one of Italy's leaders in the distribution of drugs to pharmacies, and in 2010 by the acquisition of Foschi, a small distributor of products and equipment for vets which then rapidly expanded to become number 2 in the Italian market. To strengthen its presence in the pet sector, the Demas group also developed Giulius, an innovative pet shop concept which now has 7 outlets in the Rome region.\r\n
              \r\n
              These developments have made the Demas group an undisputed leader in the Italian market today. The company now consists of three complementary divisions:\r\n
              <ul>\r\n
               \t<li><strong>Demas</strong>, the parent company, which runs wholesale distribution of veterinary products (medicines, anti-parasitic products, food supplements, etc.) to pharmaceutical wholesalers.</li>\r\n
               \t<li><strong>Foschi</strong>, a subsidiary dealing directly with vets, offering a comprehensive range of veterinary equipment and products: healthcare products, disposables, equipment, diagnostic tools, IT applications, etc.</li>\r\n
               \t<li><strong>Giulius</strong>, a retail pet store chain focused on veterinary care products, food and accessories.</li>\r\n
              </ul>\r\n
              Based in Rome, the Demas group currently has 160 employees and has grown significantly since its foundation. Revenue was €126 million at end-2019, compared to €50 million in 2009 and €100 million in 2016. The group plans to keep expanding with the help of LBO France subsidiary Gioconda on two fronts: organic growth, including via the extension of its product range, and through M&amp;A in Italy and abroad.\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>Arthur Bernardin, Managing Director of Gioconda, subsidiary of LBO France,</strong> said: “<em>We are delighted to be able to support the Demas group in its new development phase. In the course of our discussions with the Foglietti family, which stretch back four years, we were impressed by the way the company established itself as leader in Italy's veterinary products market by simultaneously targeting pharmaceutical distributors, vets and retail customers. Its footprint in these three segments is a real asset in this resilient market, which is growing at a 5% rate annually, driven by the increasing medicalisation of pets.</em>”\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>Fabrizio Foglietti, Chairman of the Demas group</strong> added: “<em>The equity investment by Gioconda, the subsidiary of LBO France, is excellent news for the Demas group. They will provide essential support as we go through this major transition, both internally, by helping restructure what has long been a family </em><em>firm in its governance, and externally, by ramping up the group's scale in the Italian and international markets. Together, we will continue to develop the company I joined in 1995 and which I am delighted to see grow further with the help of this first-class partner.</em>”

              After a first round in 2019 with business angels, BPI Nouvelle-Aquitaine and the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region, the Bordeaux-based startup is closing its first institutional fund-raising with LBO France through its Digital Health 2 fund.\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong> </strong>A leader in medicine traceability in sub-Saharan Africa, Meditect is joining forces with LBO France’s know-how and network to accelerate its technological, geographic and commercial development. This new round of financing will enable the service to be extended beyond Côte d’Ivoire to key countries such as Senegal and Cameroon, as well as the development of its analytical offer dedicated to pharmaceutical companies. Meditect currently has 15 employees divided between France and Côte d’Ivoire.\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>Strengthening access to quality medicines in developing countries</strong>\r\n
              \r\n
              Every year falsified and substandard medicines cause the death of about 100,000 children in West Africa (source: WHO). Meditect commits to fight this scourge by offering a solution for medicine traceability and authentication based on the process of serialization applied to exported medicines. By strengthening the legal circuit and the role of pharmacists, Meditect aims to eradicate street medicines and to stop the growth of fake medicines.\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>A new service available in Côte d’Ivoire, and soon throughout sub-Saharan Africa</strong>\r\n
              \r\n
              With their free <strong>Meditect Pro</strong> smartphone application, pharmacists from the Meditect network authenticate their inventory by scanning every box in stock. This step allows them to verify the authenticity of their stock, certify the distribution of their products and benefit from new features dedicated to the management of their pharmacy.\r\n
              \r\n
              Patients visiting a pharmacy can verify the authenticity (anonymously) of their medicines by scanning them with the free <strong>Meditect Patient</strong> application. This step helps to empower patients and direct them to reliable points of sale.\r\n
              \r\n
              Thanks to more than 300 partner pharmacies (30% market shares in Côte d’Ivoire), Meditect offers pharmaceutical companies <strong>Meditect Lab</strong>, a dashboard that allows them (i) an access to exclusive data and (ii) to optimize their strategies to improve access to quality medicines.\r\n
              \r\n
              Meditect is already a partner of the pharmaceutical company UPSA known for Efferalgan, the most widely used medicine in French-speaking Africa (source: IQVIA 2019 study). In the future, the start-up aims to secure all medicines in sub-Saharan Africa through collaborations with all exporting pharmaceutical companies.\r\n

              <strong>Thriving French start-up Colonies raises €180 million to become the European leader in co-living</strong>\r\n
              <ul>\r\n
               \t<li><em>Colonies has concluded a new €180m funding round</em><em>.</em></li>\r\n
               \t<li><em>This sum has come from a combination of existing investors – Idinvest Partners, Global Founders Capital and La Financière Saint James – and new investor LBO France.</em></li>\r\n

              </ul>\r\n
              <strong>Paris, 4 March 2020</strong>: Colonies designs and runs living spaces offering its inhabitants the comfort of fully furnished private spaces and access to shared living spaces in a spirit of community (gyms, laundry facilities, rooftops, etc.).\r\n
              \r\n
              French research and consulting company BVA<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1">[1]</a> recently published a study that attests to the relevance of the model, since 66% of people under 35 say they feel lonely.\r\n
              \r\n
              After successfully opening its first residences in France and Germany, Colonies now aims to accelerate its development in Europe and will launch more than 50 new projects in 2020.\r\n
              \r\n
              "<em>We are very pleased with this new funding, which represents an endorsement of our vision and of our development forecasts</em>.<em> In just one year, we have already achieved operating profitability with 3 projects in Paris and the Ile-de-France region and 2 in Germany. We have put this concept of shared living to the test and it has worked. The trust our existing investors have in us is also a strong indicator of the relevance of our model and the quality of the team</em>," said Alexandre Martin, co-founder of Colonies.\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>New investors and continued trust of existing backers:</strong>\r\n
              \r\n
              The growth and operating profitability achieved in the first year validated Colonies’ vision, model and operational excellence. Confident in the ability of the founders to accelerate growth and become the European leader in the sector, the existing investors – Idinvest Partners, Global Founders Capital and La Financière Saint James – have reinvested 30 million euros in this new round.\r\n
              \r\n
              LBO France, a French investment fund with more than 30 years of expertise, will enable Colonies, through €150m in funding, to accelerate its property development and expand its offerings to meet ever-increasing demand. As it stands, 50 new projects should be completed in France and the rest of Europe in 2020.\r\n
              \r\n
              <em>"We now offer institutional investors the opportunity to gain exposure to the ultra-resilient housing market without the management risk, as we do everything for them – from sourcing assets to operating them. We are delighted to partner with the LBO France teams who have a sharp understanding of what’s involved in the co-living sector. The first projects to come out of this collaboration will be developed as early as this summer,</em>" said Amaury Courbon, co-founder of Colonies and main contact for property investors.\r\n
              \r\n
              <em>"At Colonies, the first thing we wanted to bet on is the team: pioneers in co-living, focusing on the profitability of their model and ready to open up a huge market in France and Europe", explained Antoine Zins, Investment Manager at Idinvest Partners.</em>\r\n
              \r\n
              "<em>We are very pleased to support a new paradigm for urban residential property</em>.<em> Of all the property sectors, housing is the one that has failed to evolve: Colonies, a true pioneer in France, is offering a new concept and real expertise at a time when housing in urban areas is becoming more and more complicated and lives are becoming less sedentary," </em>said Stéphanie Casciola, Partner and Head of Real Estate at LBO France.\r\n
              \r\n
              "<em>As one of the first investors in Colonies, we are particularly pleased to be able to support the company in this phase of strong growth, after having demonstrated the relevance of its product, the solidity of its business model and the quality of its teams," </em>commented Hugues de Braucourt, Partner at Global Founders Capital.\r\n

              <strong>LBO France enters into exclusive negotiations for the acquisition of Dutscher group, the leading independent pan-European distributor of R&amp;D laboratory consumables and equipments </strong>\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong> </strong><strong>Paris, March 2, 2020</strong> – LBO France announces it has reached an exclusive negotiation agreement with Five Arrows Principal Investments and Mr. Maxime Dutscher for the acquisition of a majority stake in Dutscher group, the leading independent distributor of R&amp;D laboratory consumables and equipments in Europe. The transaction would take place alongside the management team led by Dominique Wencker.\r\n
              \r\n
              Founded in 1982 and based in Brumath (near Strasbourg, France), Dutscher generates revenues of around €240m and employs more than 700 people across nine European countries. Since its establishment, the Group has delivered above-market organic growth thanks its strong customer-centric positioning, its pan-European distribution network and its comprehensive product portfolio. This strong organic growth has been complemented by targeted acquisitions in France and in the rest of Europe, notably Italy, the United Kingdom and Spain. The successful integration of these companies has enabled Dutscher to become the leading independent distributor across its core geographical markets with over 50% of revenues generated outside of France.\r\n
              \r\n
              LBO France intends to support the management of Dutscher in the acceleration of the group’s development, through both organic and external growth, in France and internationally.\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>Thomas Boulman, Partner at LBO France and Head of LBO Mid Cap</strong>, commented: <em>«During our discussions, we were very impressed by the high level of expertise of Dutscher's management team, which has enabled the Group to achieve very strong organic growth in recent years while establishing itself as a true European consolidation platform. We would be pleased to be able to support the Group in its pan-European development strategy, which is underpinned by a number of clearly identified organic and external growth projects. » </em>\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>Dominique Wencker, Chief Executive Officer of Dutscher</strong>, said: <em>«We would be eager to rely on a leading partner to pursue our development strategy, while preserving the Group's culture and our operating independence. The expertise of LBO France would enable us to accelerate our industrial and geographic development through acquisitions in France and Europe. » </em>\r\n
              \r\n
              The acquisition would be completed in the second trimester of the year following the consultation with employee representative bodies and after receiving the necessary approvals from relevant competition authorities.\r\n

              <strong>Paris, 2<sup>nd</sup> of March 2020</strong>\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>LBO France complies with the Equator Principles</strong>\r\n
              \r\n
              LBO France has completed the process of adopting the Equator Principles (EPs), which will apply specifically to its infrastructure and project finance investments. LBO France is adopting the Equator Principles as of today. The EPs are a risk management framework, adopted by financial institutions, for determining, assessing and managing environmental and social risk in projects, that provides a standard of due diligence and monitoring to support responsible risk decision-making. The EPs are based on the International Finance Corporation’s (IFC) Performance Standards on Environmental and Social Sustainability, and on the World Bank Group’s Environmental, Health and Safety Guidelines.\r\n
              \r\n
              We believe that this commitment to comply with robust standards of management of environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks, strengthens our focus on achieving positive ESG impacts through our infrastructure and project finance investments. With this step, LBO France further supports its actions on sustainability performance in its infrastructure debt strategy.\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>Jacques Franchi, Head of Debt, CIO at LBO France</strong>: “<em>We are proud to adopt the Equator Principles, we are convinced that complying with these standards will benefit our Infrastructure Debt investment strategy significantly</em>”.\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>Marc Guyot, Head of ESG at LBO France</strong>: “<em>The EPs are a guarantee of quality in our </em><em>environmental and social risk assessment and management and they represent a logical addition to the ESG commitments that LBO France has already made gradually since 2011 with the signature of the UNPRIs, the cofounding the Initiative Climate International (formerly IC 2020) and the signing of the sustainable building plan. Integrating the EPs into our decision-making process contributes to mitigate environmental and social risks, and will support our investments to achieve the results that will support the Energy Transition towards a low carbon economy</em>.”\r\n
              \r\n
              LBO France Energy Infrastructure Debt strategy focuses mainly on energy generation and energy efficiency assets, supporting directly the Energy transition and the UN Sustainable Development Goals, also supported by the Paris Agreement on climate change. Indeed, in addition to the reporting provided to the EPs, the Energy Infrastructure investment fund will also report to investors key positive impacts measures, such as GHG avoidance, clean energy produced, amount of waste reduced, reduction of energy consumption in buildings, depending on the sector where the investments will focus on.\r\n

              <strong>Paris, December 18th , 2019</strong> – LBO France announces the acquisition by its Lapillus II real estate investment fund (OPCI) of the Grand Angle building from Tristan Capital Partners’ EPISO 4 opportunity real estate fund. This office building comprises around 17,000 sqm and is located at 300 meters away from the Carrefour Pleyel station (metro line 13) in Saint-Denis (93), 600 meters away from the recently opened Mairie de Saint-Ouen station (line 14) and next to the future Saint-Denis Pleyel station.\r\n
              \r\n
              Once completed, this new station, part of the Grand Paris development project with an emblematic design by the Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, is expected to welcome 250,000 passengers a day. It will form a unique hub, connecting four metro lines (14, 15, 16 and 17) to the surburban rail service RER D thanks to a new bridge between the Pleyel and La Plaine-Saint Denis districts.\r\n
              \r\n
              The building is located in the heart of a district that is being totally transformed. It will benefit from a groundbreaking urban development project focusing on environmental and energy innovations and will make the most of soft mobility options and nature in the city. The district will also provide cultural, sport and leisure facilities of all kinds as well as infrastructure to help residents get around freely. The two stations in the transport hub will be linked across a new walk- and roadway built to support the 2024 Olympics and Para-Olympics in order to connect the sports venues to the “Pleyel – Bords de Seine” Olympic Village.\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>Stéphanie Casciola, </strong>Head of Real Estate, LBO France said: <em>“This acquisition fits perfectly into the LBO France team's vision of the real estate market. We are looking to position ourselves on assets in major locations that can create value over a 5-7-year horizon. The Grand Angle building is strategically located in the heart of an emblematic zone of the Grand Paris project. It will benefit from a unique local transportation system and the spectacular urban development of the previously rather neglected Pleyel district.”</em>\r\n
              \r\n
              The building was thoroughly renovated by the previous owner. Grand Angle has a 16,800 sqm space split into 5 levels with big office spaces of up to 2,800 sqm services and two underground car park levels. A certification project has been initiated and the building should get its BREEAM In-Use1 Very Good certificate before summer 2020, reflecting its environmental performance in use over the long term.\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>Yassine Berkane</strong>, Director at Tristan Capital Partners, said: “When we acquired this office back in 2016, our plan was to refurbish it in order to create grade A space in an up-and-coming Paris submarket. Over the past few years, the Saint Denis area has improved rapidly, due to the forthcoming Saint-Denis Pleyel metro station and the significant public investment that has been made in advance of the 2024 Olympics. This has allowed us to make this disposal ahead of our business plan and has made this a highly successful investment for EPISO 4.”\r\n
              \r\n
              The deal was financed by a bank consortium led by Natixis/Scor.\r\n
              \r\n
              LBO France (Stéphanie Casciola, Thomas Chartiez) was advised by notaries Monassier &amp; Associes (Sylvie Burthe-Mique), law firms Sekri Valentin Zerrouk (Pierre-Emmanuel Chevalier), Kramer Levin (Pierre Appremont) and Orrick (Patrick Tardivy), and consultants Alamo (Olivier Coty, Haihan Hu) providing technical audit and project management support.\r\n
              \r\n
              EPISO 4 was advised by Etude Lasaygues (Lélia Penven) and Racine (Carole Santoni et Fabrice Rymarz).\r\n

          This new way of living, inspired by house-sharing, addresses the shortage of quality urban housing and increasing mobility. Under a coliving arrangement, each resident has a private furnished and equipped space (a room, studio or apartment) and access to common areas and appliances (dining room, kitchen, laundry room, fitness room, spa, or home cinema). Its all-inclusive formula includes access to many services (housekeeping, Wi-Fi, laundry, reception desk, etc.) and provides lots of flexibility on a market that lacks innovation. This offer is dedicated to young professionals, professionals on extended business trips, and temporary expatriates or, on a more one-off basis, people in professional or personal transition.\r\n
          \r\n
          Confident in the potential of this expanding market that is rethinking the models of the residential sector, a banking pool including Natixis, Socfim and SCOR Investment Partners has granted LBO France a credit line with a 60% leverage. It will finance the purchase of houses and renovation costs. LBO France can draw down such credit line on a discretionary basis as acquisitions are made. Twenty houses are already in the pipe in the Paris region, Lille, Marseille and Bordeaux.\r\n
          \r\n
          &nbsp;\r\n
          \r\n
          <em>“We are very pleased to be granted once again the confidence and full support of our banking partners and SCOR Investment Partners in this operation. They adjusted their financing by offering a tailored solution for this atypical operation and have been highly reactive despite the lockdown”, </em>said <strong>Stéphanie Casciola, Head of Real Estate at LBO France</strong>.\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>Thierry Bernard, Head of Real Estate and Hospitality Finance Europe</strong>, said:<em> “We are happy to support LBO France in this new asset class, which should expand tremendously over the coming years. Financing has been tailored to LBO France’s needs, particularly in quickly acquiring a significant portfolio of promising houses.”</em>\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>Sandrine Amsili, Head of Real-Estate Debt at SCOR Investment Partners</strong>, said:<em> “As a player in specialised real-estate financing in the value-added segment, we are proud to take part in this innovative venture. Given its positioning and real estate and financial features, this deal meets our lending standards. Moreover, in helping facilitate access to quality housing, it includes a societal dimension that reflects our desire, as an asset manager, to finance sustainable projects.”</em>

          <strong>Paris &amp; Milan, May 13<sup>th</sup>, 2020</strong><strong> - </strong>Gioconda, the Italian subsidiary of LBO France, announced today it has taken a majority stake, through its Small Caps Opportunities fund, in Italian group Demas, a specialist distributor of veterinary products for pets. The transaction was done alongside two Italian co-investors, the Banca IFIS group (an Italian specialty finance institution) and the Giovanni Ambrosetti group, as well as Demas’ management team including Fabrizio Foglietti, who remains Chairman. The Foglietti family, hitherto sole owner, remains heavily invested alongside the new shareholders.\r\n
          \r\n
          Demas is a family company founded in 1969 by Remo Foglietti. Over time, it has gradually come to specialise in pet products. This focus was enhanced by the signing of a commercial agreement in 1996 with one of Italy's leaders in the distribution of drugs to pharmacies, and in 2010 by the acquisition of Foschi, a small distributor of products and equipment for vets which then rapidly expanded to become number 2 in the Italian market. To strengthen its presence in the pet sector, the Demas group also developed Giulius, an innovative pet shop concept which now has 7 outlets in the Rome region.\r\n
          \r\n
          These developments have made the Demas group an undisputed leader in the Italian market today. The company now consists of three complementary divisions:\r\n
          <ul>\r\n
           \t<li><strong>Demas</strong>, the parent company, which runs wholesale distribution of veterinary products (medicines, anti-parasitic products, food supplements, etc.) to pharmaceutical wholesalers.</li>\r\n
           \t<li><strong>Foschi</strong>, a subsidiary dealing directly with vets, offering a comprehensive range of veterinary equipment and products: healthcare products, disposables, equipment, diagnostic tools, IT applications, etc.</li>\r\n
           \t<li><strong>Giulius</strong>, a retail pet store chain focused on veterinary care products, food and accessories.</li>\r\n
          </ul>\r\n
          Based in Rome, the Demas group currently has 160 employees and has grown significantly since its foundation. Revenue was €126 million at end-2019, compared to €50 million in 2009 and €100 million in 2016. The group plans to keep expanding with the help of LBO France subsidiary Gioconda on two fronts: organic growth, including via the extension of its product range, and through M&amp;A in Italy and abroad.\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>Arthur Bernardin, Managing Director of Gioconda, subsidiary of LBO France,</strong> said: “<em>We are delighted to be able to support the Demas group in its new development phase. In the course of our discussions with the Foglietti family, which stretch back four years, we were impressed by the way the company established itself as leader in Italy's veterinary products market by simultaneously targeting pharmaceutical distributors, vets and retail customers. Its footprint in these three segments is a real asset in this resilient market, which is growing at a 5% rate annually, driven by the increasing medicalisation of pets.</em>”\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>Fabrizio Foglietti, Chairman of the Demas group</strong> added: “<em>The equity investment by Gioconda, the subsidiary of LBO France, is excellent news for the Demas group. They will provide essential support as we go through this major transition, both internally, by helping restructure what has long been a family </em><em>firm in its governance, and externally, by ramping up the group's scale in the Italian and international markets. Together, we will continue to develop the company I joined in 1995 and which I am delighted to see grow further with the help of this first-class partner.</em>”

          <strong>Meditect, leader in medicines traceability, raises its first institutional round with LBO France</strong>\r\n
          \r\n
          After a first round in 2019 with business angels, BPI Nouvelle-Aquitaine and the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region, the Bordeaux-based startup is closing its first institutional fund-raising with LBO France through its Digital Health 2 fund.\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong> </strong>A leader in medicine traceability in sub-Saharan Africa, Meditect is joining forces with LBO France’s know-how and network to accelerate its technological, geographic and commercial development. This new round of financing will enable the service to be extended beyond Côte d’Ivoire to key countries such as Senegal and Cameroon, as well as the development of its analytical offer dedicated to pharmaceutical companies. Meditect currently has 15 employees divided between France and Côte d’Ivoire.\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>Strengthening access to quality medicines in developing countries</strong>\r\n
          \r\n
          Every year falsified and substandard medicines cause the death of about 100,000 children in West Africa (source: WHO). Meditect commits to fight this scourge by offering a solution for medicine traceability and authentication based on the process of serialization applied to exported medicines. By strengthening the legal circuit and the role of pharmacists, Meditect aims to eradicate street medicines and to stop the growth of fake medicines.\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>A new service available in Côte d’Ivoire, and soon throughout sub-Saharan Africa</strong>\r\n
          \r\n
          With their free <strong>Meditect Pro</strong> smartphone application, pharmacists from the Meditect network authenticate their inventory by scanning every box in stock. This step allows them to verify the authenticity of their stock, certify the distribution of their products and benefit from new features dedicated to the management of their pharmacy.\r\n
          \r\n
          Patients visiting a pharmacy can verify the authenticity (anonymously) of their medicines by scanning them with the free <strong>Meditect Patient</strong> application. This step helps to empower patients and direct them to reliable points of sale.\r\n
          \r\n
          Thanks to more than 300 partner pharmacies (30% market shares in Côte d’Ivoire), Meditect offers pharmaceutical companies <strong>Meditect Lab</strong>, a dashboard that allows them (i) an access to exclusive data and (ii) to optimize their strategies to improve access to quality medicines.\r\n
          \r\n
          Meditect is already a partner of the pharmaceutical company UPSA known for Efferalgan, the most widely used medicine in French-speaking Africa (source: IQVIA 2019 study). In the future, the start-up aims to secure all medicines in sub-Saharan Africa through collaborations with all exporting pharmaceutical companies.\r\n
          \r\n
          &nbsp;\r\n
          <ul>\r\n
           \t<li><em>“Our ambition is to digitize and revolutionize the relationship to medicine to reduce street medicines in sub-Saharan Africa. With a team of 15 people present in France and Côte d’Ivoire, we are proud to mobilize our know-how, technology and resources for the health development of a rapidly growing region. The partnership with the venture team of LBO France is fully in line with our vision” </em><strong>Arnaud Pourredon (CEO of Meditect)</strong></li>\r\n
          </ul>\r\n

           \t<li><em>“This young start-up, Meditect, convinced us of the value of their innovative solution. Strengthening the traceability of medicines, particularly in Africa, and improving patient safety are among UPSA’s top priorities. This initiative, with Meditect, demonstrates our commitment to further securing the distribution of our medicines in West Africa. The implementation of the pilot project has been underway since the beginning of the year in Côte d’Ivoire, and we hope to receive the first feedback before mid-year. This is an ambitious project, which could affect several product lines and several African countries” </em><strong>Loïc Bernard (Head of French-Speaking Africa UPSA)</strong></li>\r\n

We are delighted to welcome Meditect in the Digital Health 2 portfolio. Their understanding of local territories, their native cutting-edge mobile and blockchain technology and their partnership with local pharmacies respond perfectly to the challenges of emerging countries, in which the digital revolution is a reality.

           \t<li><em>Colonies has concluded a new €180m funding round</em><em>.</em></li>\r\n
           \t<li><em>This sum has come from a combination of existing investors – Idinvest Partners, Global Founders Capital and La Financière Saint James – and new investor LBO France.</em></li>\r\n
           \t<li><em>Colonies plans to launch more than 50 new projects in France and Europe in 2020</em><em>.</em></li>\r\n
          </ul>\r\n
          <strong>Paris, 4 March 2020</strong>: Colonies designs and runs living spaces offering its inhabitants the comfort of fully furnished private spaces and access to shared living spaces in a spirit of community (gyms, laundry facilities, rooftops, etc.).\r\n
          \r\n
          French research and consulting company BVA<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1">[1]</a> recently published a study that attests to the relevance of the model, since 66% of people under 35 say they feel lonely.\r\n
          \r\n
          After successfully opening its first residences in France and Germany, Colonies now aims to accelerate its development in Europe and will launch more than 50 new projects in 2020.\r\n
          \r\n
          "<em>We are very pleased with this new funding, which represents an endorsement of our vision and of our development forecasts</em>.<em> In just one year, we have already achieved operating profitability with 3 projects in Paris and the Ile-de-France region and 2 in Germany. We have put this concept of shared living to the test and it has worked. The trust our existing investors have in us is also a strong indicator of the relevance of our model and the quality of the team</em>," said Alexandre Martin, co-founder of Colonies.\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>New investors and continued trust of existing backers:</strong>\r\n
          \r\n
          The growth and operating profitability achieved in the first year validated Colonies’ vision, model and operational excellence. Confident in the ability of the founders to accelerate growth and become the European leader in the sector, the existing investors – Idinvest Partners, Global Founders Capital and La Financière Saint James – have reinvested 30 million euros in this new round.\r\n
          \r\n
          LBO France, a French investment fund with more than 30 years of expertise, will enable Colonies, through €150m in funding, to accelerate its property development and expand its offerings to meet ever-increasing demand. As it stands, 50 new projects should be completed in France and the rest of Europe in 2020.\r\n
          \r\n
          <em>"We now offer institutional investors the opportunity to gain exposure to the ultra-resilient housing market without the management risk, as we do everything for them – from sourcing assets to operating them. We are delighted to partner with the LBO France teams who have a sharp understanding of what’s involved in the co-living sector. The first projects to come out of this collaboration will be developed as early as this summer,</em>" said Amaury Courbon, co-founder of Colonies and main contact for property investors.\r\n
          \r\n
          <em>"At Colonies, the first thing we wanted to bet on is the team: pioneers in co-living, focusing on the profitability of their model and ready to open up a huge market in France and Europe", explained Antoine Zins, Investment Manager at Idinvest Partners.</em>\r\n
          \r\n
          "<em>We are very pleased to support a new paradigm for urban residential property</em>.<em> Of all the property sectors, housing is the one that has failed to evolve: Colonies, a true pioneer in France, is offering a new concept and real expertise at a time when housing in urban areas is becoming more and more complicated and lives are becoming less sedentary," </em>said Stéphanie Casciola, Partner and Head of Real Estate at LBO France.\r\n
          \r\n
          "<em>As one of the first investors in Colonies, we are particularly pleased to be able to support the company in this phase of strong growth, after having demonstrated the relevance of its product, the solidity of its business model and the quality of its teams," </em>commented Hugues de Braucourt, Partner at Global Founders Capital.\r\n

          <strong>LBO France enters into exclusive negotiations for the acquisition of Dutscher group, the leading independent pan-European distributor of R&amp;D laboratory consumables and equipments </strong>\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong> </strong><strong>Paris, March 2, 2020</strong> – LBO France announces it has reached an exclusive negotiation agreement with Five Arrows Principal Investments and Mr. Maxime Dutscher for the acquisition of a majority stake in Dutscher group, the leading independent distributor of R&amp;D laboratory consumables and equipments in Europe. The transaction would take place alongside the management team led by Dominique Wencker.\r\n
          \r\n
          Founded in 1982 and based in Brumath (near Strasbourg, France), Dutscher generates revenues of around €240m and employs more than 700 people across nine European countries. Since its establishment, the Group has delivered above-market organic growth thanks its strong customer-centric positioning, its pan-European distribution network and its comprehensive product portfolio. This strong organic growth has been complemented by targeted acquisitions in France and in the rest of Europe, notably Italy, the United Kingdom and Spain. The successful integration of these companies has enabled Dutscher to become the leading independent distributor across its core geographical markets with over 50% of revenues generated outside of France.\r\n
          \r\n
          LBO France intends to support the management of Dutscher in the acceleration of the group’s development, through both organic and external growth, in France and internationally.\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>Thomas Boulman, Partner at LBO France and Head of LBO Mid Cap</strong>, commented: <em>«During our discussions, we were very impressed by the high level of expertise of Dutscher's management team, which has enabled the Group to achieve very strong organic growth in recent years while establishing itself as a true European consolidation platform. We would be pleased to be able to support the Group in its pan-European development strategy, which is underpinned by a number of clearly identified organic and external growth projects. » </em>\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>Dominique Wencker, Chief Executive Officer of Dutscher</strong>, said: <em>«We would be eager to rely on a leading partner to pursue our development strategy, while preserving the Group's culture and our operating independence. The expertise of LBO France would enable us to accelerate our industrial and geographic development through acquisitions in France and Europe. » </em>\r\n
          \r\n
          The acquisition would be completed in the second trimester of the year following the consultation with employee representative bodies and after receiving the necessary approvals from relevant competition authorities.\r\n

          <strong>Paris, 2<sup>nd</sup> of March 2020</strong>\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>LBO France complies with the Equator Principles</strong>\r\n
          \r\n
          LBO France has completed the process of adopting the Equator Principles (EPs), which will apply specifically to its infrastructure and project finance investments. LBO France is adopting the Equator Principles as of today. The EPs are a risk management framework, adopted by financial institutions, for determining, assessing and managing environmental and social risk in projects, that provides a standard of due diligence and monitoring to support responsible risk decision-making. The EPs are based on the International Finance Corporation’s (IFC) Performance Standards on Environmental and Social Sustainability, and on the World Bank Group’s Environmental, Health and Safety Guidelines.\r\n
          \r\n
          We believe that this commitment to comply with robust standards of management of environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks, strengthens our focus on achieving positive ESG impacts through our infrastructure and project finance investments. With this step, LBO France further supports its actions on sustainability performance in its infrastructure debt strategy.\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>Jacques Franchi, Head of Debt, CIO at LBO France</strong>: “<em>We are proud to adopt the Equator Principles, we are convinced that complying with these standards will benefit our Infrastructure Debt investment strategy significantly</em>”.\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>Marc Guyot, Head of ESG at LBO France</strong>: “<em>The EPs are a guarantee of quality in our </em><em>environmental and social risk assessment and management and they represent a logical addition to the ESG commitments that LBO France has already made gradually since 2011 with the signature of the UNPRIs, the cofounding the Initiative Climate International (formerly IC 2020) and the signing of the sustainable building plan. Integrating the EPs into our decision-making process contributes to mitigate environmental and social risks, and will support our investments to achieve the results that will support the Energy Transition towards a low carbon economy</em>.”\r\n
          \r\n
          LBO France Energy Infrastructure Debt strategy focuses mainly on energy generation and energy efficiency assets, supporting directly the Energy transition and the UN Sustainable Development Goals, also supported by the Paris Agreement on climate change. Indeed, in addition to the reporting provided to the EPs, the Energy Infrastructure investment fund will also report to investors key positive impacts measures, such as GHG avoidance, clean energy produced, amount of waste reduced, reduction of energy consumption in buildings, depending on the sector where the investments will focus on.\r\n

          <strong>Paris, December 18th , 2019</strong> – LBO France announces the acquisition by its Lapillus II real estate investment fund (OPCI) of the Grand Angle building from Tristan Capital Partners’ EPISO 4 opportunity real estate fund. This office building comprises around 17,000 sqm and is located at 300 meters away from the Carrefour Pleyel station (metro line 13) in Saint-Denis (93), 600 meters away from the recently opened Mairie de Saint-Ouen station (line 14) and next to the future Saint-Denis Pleyel station.\r\n
          \r\n
          Once completed, this new station, part of the Grand Paris development project with an emblematic design by the Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, is expected to welcome 250,000 passengers a day. It will form a unique hub, connecting four metro lines (14, 15, 16 and 17) to the surburban rail service RER D thanks to a new bridge between the Pleyel and La Plaine-Saint Denis districts.\r\n
          \r\n
          The building is located in the heart of a district that is being totally transformed. It will benefit from a groundbreaking urban development project focusing on environmental and energy innovations and will make the most of soft mobility options and nature in the city. The district will also provide cultural, sport and leisure facilities of all kinds as well as infrastructure to help residents get around freely. The two stations in the transport hub will be linked across a new walk- and roadway built to support the 2024 Olympics and Para-Olympics in order to connect the sports venues to the “Pleyel – Bords de Seine” Olympic Village.\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>Stéphanie Casciola, </strong>Head of Real Estate, LBO France said: <em>“This acquisition fits perfectly into the LBO France team's vision of the real estate market. We are looking to position ourselves on assets in major locations that can create value over a 5-7-year horizon. The Grand Angle building is strategically located in the heart of an emblematic zone of the Grand Paris project. It will benefit from a unique local transportation system and the spectacular urban development of the previously rather neglected Pleyel district.”</em>\r\n
          \r\n
          The building was thoroughly renovated by the previous owner. Grand Angle has a 16,800 sqm space split into 5 levels with big office spaces of up to 2,800 sqm services and two underground car park levels. A certification project has been initiated and the building should get its BREEAM In-Use1 Very Good certificate before summer 2020, reflecting its environmental performance in use over the long term.\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>Yassine Berkane</strong>, Director at Tristan Capital Partners, said: “When we acquired this office back in 2016, our plan was to refurbish it in order to create grade A space in an up-and-coming Paris submarket. Over the past few years, the Saint Denis area has improved rapidly, due to the forthcoming Saint-Denis Pleyel metro station and the significant public investment that has been made in advance of the 2024 Olympics. This has allowed us to make this disposal ahead of our business plan and has made this a highly successful investment for EPISO 4.”\r\n
          \r\n
          The deal was financed by a bank consortium led by Natixis/Scor.\r\n
          \r\n
          LBO France (Stéphanie Casciola, Thomas Chartiez) was advised by notaries Monassier &amp; Associes (Sylvie Burthe-Mique), law firms Sekri Valentin Zerrouk (Pierre-Emmanuel Chevalier), Kramer Levin (Pierre Appremont) and Orrick (Patrick Tardivy), and consultants Alamo (Olivier Coty, Haihan Hu) providing technical audit and project management support.\r\n
          \r\n
          EPISO 4 was advised by Etude Lasaygues (Lélia Penven) and Racine (Carole Santoni et Fabrice Rymarz).\r\n
