              <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

              \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

              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
              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.

              &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

              \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
              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

              <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

          \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.

          \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.

          <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

          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> </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
          <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.

              <strong>Paris, 3 July 2017</strong> – LBO France announced today that it has successfully completed the sale of its WEST PARK office building to AXA Investment Managers - Real Assets (AXA IM - Real Assets).\r\n
              \r\n
              Originally built in the 1980s, WEST PARK was acquired in October 2015 by White Stone VI, a fund managed by LBO France which then launched an extensive refurbishment programme of the asset, due for completion by the end of 2017. As previously announced by LBO France in March 2017, WEST PARK has been fully pre-let to Groupama on a 12-year firm lease and will be 1 of the 5 buildings of the future 55,000 sqm campus where the French insurance group plans to gather c.3,200 of its employees over the coming months.\r\n
              \r\n
              Overlooking the Terrasses de l’Arche in Nanterre, next to Nanterre Préfecture station on the RER A commuter line and the future Grand Paris Nanterre La Folie hub station, WEST PARK is an office building offering 20,100 sqm, spread across 11 floors, including 3 underground levels with a combined parking capacity of c.200 places. Arranged around a landscaped patio, the complex offers its future users a prime location alongside the green corridor now connecting the Terrasses to La Défense, the main business district of Western Paris. WEST PARK boasts a dual environmental certification (NF Bâtiment Tertiaire Démarche HQE and BREEAM “Very Good”) and an “excellent”-level BBC Effinergie label, fully in line with LBO France’s ESG initiatives and commitments.\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong> Stéphanie Casciola, Partner, Head of Real Estate at LBO France</strong>, commented:<em> "We are extremely pleased to have turned a complex yet promising real-estate project such as WEST PARK into an attractive and successful investment. Again, this clearly demonstrates LBO France’s offensive and value-added strategy on the French office market and its ability to identify and restructure promising assets in areas with substantial turnaround potential, and always with a clear focus on long-term sustainability." </em>\r\n
              \r\n
              As part of the invitation to tender led by CBRE Capital Markets, mandated on a co-exclusive basis with SAVILLS France, LBO France (Stéphanie CASCIOLA, Julien ROUILLON) was advised by law firms ORRICK (Patrick TARDIVY) and KRAMER LEVIN (Pierre APPREMONT), notarial practice MONASSIER, BURTHE-MIQUE et Associés (Guillaume PALAIS) and works project management and technical assistance company ROM (Hervé ROUX).\r\n

              First deal of “Gioconda” fund managed by LBO France and focused on Italian businesses\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>Milan, May 2017</strong>: LBO France has acquired a 75% stake in VetroElite S.p.A. from Gradiente, thereby completing its first direct acquisition in Italy using its new “Gioconda” fund, aimed at supporting the worldwide development of companies within Italian sectors of excellence.\r\n
              \r\n
              VetroElite, headquartered in Ormelle (Treviso), recorded turnover of nearly 20 million Euros in 2016 and designs and markets specialty glass containers and bottles mainly sold via its own subsidiaries in Europe and North America. Through this operation, Daniele Feletto, VetroElite’s Chairman and CEO, has increased his stake to 25% of the company, thereby demonstrating his wish to pursue the company’s international development, supported by an increased product differentiation and extended product range.\r\n
              \r\n
              <em>“I created VetroElite many years ago, and LBO France’s investment is a new step in its development; I am confident that with their support and international business experience, we will succeed in accelerating business growth in European and overseas markets, turning VetroElite into an Italian brand with a worldwide recognition in the high-end specialty glass packaging sector,”</em> commented <strong>Daniele Feletto, VetroElite’s Chairman and CEO.</strong>\r\n
              \r\n
              <em>“VetroElite is the first start of a new era for LBO France’s smallcap fund, with enhanced focus on sustained company developments, in particular on international expansion and potentially through external growth strategies, alongside management team structuration,”</em> said <strong>Arthur Bernardin, Managing Director at LBO France.</strong>\r\n
              \r\n
              <em>“The story of VetroElite is emblematic of the success of Italian SMEs and a perfect target for the new fund; it has been able to seize opportunities given by structurally growing markets, benefiting from a solid position based on genuine Italian know-how. It is at the perfect cornerstone of glass, a field in which Italy (and the Venice region in particular) excels, and Italian design, recognised on an international level,”</em> added <strong>Roberto d’Angelo, Managing Director of the “Gioconda” fund.</strong>\r\n
              \r\n
              <em>“We are delighted to have sold our business to LBO France, and we are convinced that, thanks to the fund’s international profile, the company will further strengthen and continue his growth path started with us in 2013. Since then, Gradiente has been working with the business owners to create value, developing the company via investments in new projects, through organic development, and diversification in new countries,”</em> declared <strong>Pietro Busnardo, Deputy Chairman of Gradiente SGR.</strong>\r\n
              \r\n
              LBO France was advised by Studio Legale NCTM on legal and tax aspects of the deal, by LEK on commercial due diligence and by Deloitte on financial due diligence. Gradiente was assisted by Vitale&amp;Co. as financial advisor, by PwC as financial and tax consultant and by Studio Grava for legal aspects. Management was advised by Andrea Citterio for financial aspects and by Dentons on legal matters.\r\n

              <strong>Paris, April 12 th 2017</strong> – LBO France announces that it has entered into exclusive negotiations with Sagard for the acquisition of HMY Group, a leading international group in the design, manufacturing and fitting of retail furniture.\r\n
              \r\n
              Created in 1960, HMY offers a wide range of furniture (shelving systems, checkouts and bespoke) and provides its clients with integrated service solutions, from conception to their installation in the shop. HMY’s clients range from the top food retailers to the leading specialized retailers, which include DIY, gardening, fashion or electric appliance chains. The group has also successfully diversified in offering POS fittings for international consumer brands.\r\n
              \r\n
              Active in almost 80 countries, HMY is the market leader in France and Spain, its historic core markets (70% of turnover) as well as in China and employs 4,000 people around the world. In 2016, the Group generated €485m of sales.\r\n
              \r\n
              Sagard had been a majority shareholder of HMY since January 2005, together with management.\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>Vincent Briançon, partner at LBO France</strong>, said: <em>“Undisputed leader in its historic markets in France and Spain, HMY has become a global player with the support of its shareholders, with in particular a strong presence in China where it is now a leading shopfitter. Strengthened by its unique international coverage, the group has also diversified its activity with POS solutions for global consumer brands, with great successes like the partnership with Adidas. We are delighted to support the management in this new development cycle and should be able to leverage our expertise of the POS and shelving markets, acquired in particular through our past investments in Diam and Averys.” </em>\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>Frédéric Stolar, founding partner at Sagard</strong>, added:<em> “We are proud to have accompanied the successful development and industrial transformation of HMY over more than 10 years. The company is now a global leader with a strong positioning within its key markets. Under the leadership of Ignacio Marin Villamayor, HMY developed a robust product offering targeting the new, highly promising POS market and serving high-profile clients such as Adidas, to which it is a top supplier. Sagard remained a loyal supporter of the management team through sometimes difficult periods, and we are proud of this successful exit with LBO France.”</em>\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>Ignacio Marin Villamayor, CEO of HMY</strong>, concluded: <em>“Thanks to the constant support of Sagard, shareholder of the Group for the past 12 years, HMY has become a world leader in its traditional markets. We are now pleased to have a new shareholder, LBO France, who will actively support the Group in its sectorial and geographical development, especially with acquisitions, in order to reiterate its position as a consolidation platform in the sector. The diversification into areas such as new technologies and lighting will position HMY as the leader in retail innovation.” </em>\r\n

              <strong>Paris, 24 March 2017</strong> – LBO France has announced that it has entered into exclusive negotiations for the sale of CHRYSO, one of the four main global specialty chemicals groups for construction materials. The sale of CHRYSO would be the first for the LBO France White Knight IX fund.\r\n
              \r\n
              CHRYSO is a leading international producer of additives and admixtures which improve the performance of concrete and cement, and construction systems for the repair and maintenance of buildings. Additives and admixtures are used in concrete and cement in order to improve properties such as ease of handling, setting/dying time, fluidity and resistance to mechanical damage. Formulations are manufactured for use in concrete repair, flooring, adhesives and waterproofing.\r\n
              \r\n
              LBO France acquired CHRYSO in 2014 as a subsidiary of the Materis group, of which LBO France had been the majority shareholder between November 2003 and May 2006, allowing it to become independent. With a turnover of more than 300 million euros in 2016, today CHRYSO is a French construction materials champion on an international scale, known for its high capacity for innovation. The Group, with a footprint in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia and the United States, operates in more than 100 countries worldwide. CHRYSO today has 29 manufacturing facilities and four R&amp;D centres, employing around 1,130 people worldwide.\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>Robert Daussun, CEO of LBO France</strong> said <em>“Alongside the CHRYSO management team, we have proudly achieved three objectives in less than three years: we transformed a subsidiary of the Materis group into an independent, fully-fledged player on a very competitive global market; we accelerated the group’s international development, in particular in the Middle East, India and Asia; and right up until today, the date of sale, we have preserved the group’s independence in the face of huge competition, now by choosing a new financial shareholder which will ensure the integrity of the group and its manufacturing base and will be committed to supporting its future growth.” </em>\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>Thomas Boulman, Partner at LBO France,</strong> added: <em>“CHRYSO has increased its EBITDA by nearly 50% in less than three years. That was no accident. The technical quality of its products and the power of its R&amp;D had a lot to do with it. The geographic choices which were made for its international development and the emphasis placed on acquisitions in growth regions are also part of the explanation. It’s because of this that we are delighted to have been able to provide the company with technical assistance and essential financing.”</em>\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong> Thierry Bernard, Chairman and CEO of CHRYSO Group</strong>, concluded: <em>“Over the last three years we have leveraged the experience and know-how of the LBO France teams to move through a major stage in our history, and we are very pleased to be able to maintain our autonomy and independence with a new shareholder.” </em>\r\n
              \r\n
              The CHRYSO works council will be consulted on the transaction, which will be subject to the customary regulatory approvals.\r\n
              \r\n
              LBO France is being advised on the transaction by Laurent Baril (Rothschild &amp; Cie), François Vigne (Sycomore Corporate Finance), Xavier Jaspar (Mayer Brown).\r\n

              <strong>Paris, 1 March 2017</strong> – LBO France has signed a 12-year firm lease with Groupama for its entire WEST PARK office building, before completion of the undergoing restructuring of the property.\r\n
              \r\n
              Located along the Terrasses de l’Arche in Nanterre, next to Nanterre Préfecture station on the RER A commuter line, WEST PARK is an office building of around 20,000 sqm. Arranged around a landscaped patio, the complex offers its future users a prime location on the green corridor now connecting the Terrasses to La Défense, the main business centre of Western Paris.\r\n
              \r\n
              WEST PARK is one of the five buildings on the future 55,000 sqm campus where Groupama plans to bring together 3,200 of its employees by the end of 2017.\r\n
              \r\n
              LBO France acquired WEST PARK (vacated by EDF in 2014) in mid-2015 and, with the help of the developer LINKCITY and the global player Bouygues Construction IDF, is currently leading a programme to fully restructure the building which is expected to be delivered at the end of 2017.

              Cambridge, MA and Paris, France – <strong>December 6th , 2016</strong> – Voluntis, a company pioneering therapeutic companion software that empowers patients to self-manage chronic diseases, has received FDA 510(k) clearance, as well as the CE Mark, for Insulia®. This first-in-class global digital solution supports the effective management of type 2 adult diabetes patients treated with basal insulin.\r\n
              \r\n
              Diabetes is a chronic condition characterized by high blood sugar levels that stem from inappropriate production or use of insulin. Nearly 30 million Americans and 400 million people worldwide have diabetes. Ninety percent of these individuals have type 2 diabetes and are often treated with basal insulin. Despite being provided with effective medications, more than half of them do not meet the recommended targets for glycemic control. Major contributing factors include challenges with insulin initiation and titration. Owing to the complications associated with diabetes, its total annual cost in the US amounts to $300 billion. Optimizing adherence to diabetes medications is recognized as one of the most effective ways of controlling disease expenditures. The cost saving opportunity in the U.S is estimated to be $4,6901 per patient per year.\r\n
              \r\n
              Insulia® Diabetes Management Companion is a prescription-only medical device that provides patients with insulin dose recommendations and educational coaching messages in response to blood glucose values and other diabetes-related data. Insulia® supports a wide variety of treatment plan configurations and evidence-based insulin adjustment rules used in routine clinical practice. First the clinician sets up a personalized treatment plan based on the patient’s profile, insulin prescription and blood glucose targets. This enables Insulia® to provide automated insulin dosing recommendations to the patient. The dose adjustment algorithm is embedded in the application, and is accessible to the patient via a web portal or via iOS and Android smartphones and tablets. The patient data is automatically shared with the health care team, who can remotely monitor the patient’s progress toward their goal thanks to tailored notifications. This enables providers to deliver highly personalized telemedicine services, a practice increasingly supported by payers worldwide.\r\n

              \r\n
              <em> “Type 2 diabetes is a complex condition, especially for people who have transitioned to insulin therapy. Indeed, self-monitoring blood glucose and self-managing insulin doses is cumbersome and challenging for a majority of patients. As a result, harnessing new and reliable technologies to support patients in safely managing insulin dosing while keeping in touch with healthcare team could be well received by provider and patient communities”</em> said <strong>Ananda Basu, MBBS, MD, Endocrinologist, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN. </strong>\r\n
              \r\n
              <em>“To make a meaningful impact on patients’ daily lives as well as clinical outcomes, we need to use intelligent digital solutions that go beyond data sharing between patients and clinicians. This is what CERITD and Voluntis have been working on together for more than 10 years, designing and evaluating software that provides automated recommendations and clinical decision support to take diabetes care management to the next level.”</em> said <strong>Guillaume Charpentier, MD, Endocrinologist, President of CERITD (Research Center for the Intensification of Diabetes Treatment). </strong>\r\n
              \r\n
              <em>“With companion software, we seek to contribute to the transition to value-based care, by improving quality of care and optimizing the cost of managing chronic diseases.” said Pierre Leurent, Voluntis’ Founder and CEO. “This simultaneous regulatory clearance of Insulia®, both in the USA and in Europe, is a unique achievement in digital health and the culmination of many years of hard work. We look forward to working hand in hand with providers and payers, as well as our business partners, to make this innovative solution widely available to patients across the globe”. </em>\r\n
              \r\n
              Insulia® will be available to patients and healthcare providers in the first half of 2017.\r\n

              The Bel Group and MOM Group's management team on July 29, 2016 agreed in writing to undertake exclusive negotiations with LBO France to acquire the MOM Group. Under the proposed deal, the Bel Group would take a majority interest in MOM, with MOM's current management remaining as a shareholder.\r\n
              \r\n
              With brands The Laughing Cow®, Kiri®, Mini Babybel®, Leerdammer®, and Boursin®, Bel is the world leader in single-serving cheese portions, delivering consumer products that are synonymous with quality, convenience and healthy eating pleasure. For over 150 years, the Bel Group has built on its industrial knowhow, its daring marketing campaigns and its range of unique products to grow internationally, today selling its brands in nearly 130 countries.\r\n
              \r\n
              The MOM Group, majority owned by LBO France since 2010, has achieved unequalled business growth in France and the United States. While building on its historical Materne® and Mont Blanc® brands sold in France, the MOM Group created the fruit squeezers category and developed strong leadership positions with its Pom'Potes® and GoGosqueeZ® brands in both France and the United States. Over the past five years, MOM has doubled in size, achieving sales of €362 million in 2015. The company employs 1,300 people and owns four production sites, including two in France and two in the United States. It aims to use its industrial knowhow and capacity for innovation to gain international leadership positions through its brands.\r\n
              \r\n
              The deal would enable Bel and MOM to fashion together a major global player in the healthy snacks segment, founded on strong and innovative brands, and very highly complementary product ranges and territories.\r\n
              \r\n
              The deal will be submitted to both companies' labor-representation bodies for consultation and to the competent competition authorities for approval. It will also be subject to the usual closing conditions, with a view to completing the transaction by the end of 2016. The acquisition would be financed by Bel's own financial resources and by issuing additional debt without undermining Bel's financial health.\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>Antoine Fiévet, Fromageries Bel Chairman and CEO</strong>, said, <em>"This deal alongside MOM Group's management represents an historic opportunity for Bel to accelerate the building of a major player in single-serving healthy snack portions, in step with the Group's strategic ambitions. The perfectly complementary nature of the product ranges is ideal for meeting growing consumer expectations and the nutritional challenges facing many, many countries. Focusing the teams on a limited number of brands with strong international potential, and combining the industrial expertise and innovative capabilities of Bel and MOM creates an extraordinary foundation for growth."</em>\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong> Press release Michel Larroche, MOM Group CEO</strong>, said, <em>"For MOM, a partnership with Bel offers a unique opportunity to accelerate the growth of our healthy, fruit and dairy snack brands, by leaning on the Bel Group's extraordinary international reach. Our partnership with Bel will help create a French headquartered, healthy snack-food company that will be uniquely positioned and supported by international brands. I thank and applaud LBO France, as well as the MOM Group employees who have greatly contributed to double our company's size over the past five years and helped build strong brands, notably in France and the United States. I am pleased to have the opportunity to further accelerate our growth in partnership with Bel's teams." </em>\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>Robert Daussun, LBO France CEO</strong>, commented, "<em>It's a financial, strategic and economic slamdunk. The French leader five years ago has become an international player and can now legitimately aim to become a global leader. We gave MOM the means to develop in the United States, and the choice that we have made today to couple it with a global player in the cheese industry is a decisive strategic step. MOM will have the human resources and the local avenues needed to accelerate its growth, with the new group becoming the flagship French company in the global snack food sector."</em>\r\n

              The Bel Group and the MOM Group’s management team on October 20, 2016 signed an agreement with LBO France to acquire the MOM Group. Under the agreement, Bel will become MOM’s majority shareholder with 65% of ordinary shares, while MOM’s management will hold the remaining 35% of ordinary shares. The management team that has led MOM’s development will remain a shareholder. Michel Larroche will continue as MOM’s CEO.\r\n
              \r\n
              The MOM Group, majority owned by LBO France since 2010, has achieved unrivaled business growth in France and the United States. While building on its historical Materne® and Mont Blanc® brands sold in France, the MOM Group created the fruit squeezers category and developed strong leadership positions with its Pom’Potes® brand in France and its GoGo squeeZ® brand in the United States.\r\n
              \r\n
              Over the past five years, MOM has doubled in size, achieving sales of €362 million in 2015. The company employs 1,300 people and owns four production sites, including two in France and two in the United States. The transaction will enable Bel to create a major global player in the healthy snacks segment. It provides a unique opportunity for MOM to accelerate its growth supported by Bel’s international presence. Both Bel and MOM have built their identities on strong and innovative brands, and both companies plan to harness the complementarity of their product ranges, territories and industrial knowhow to establish their leadership internationally.\r\n
              \r\n
              Following exclusive talks entered into on July 29, Bel and MOM won unanimous approval for the planned transaction from the labor-representation bodies of both companies. Completion of the deal remains subject to the approval of French and U.S. competition authorities, who are expected to rule by the end of the year.\r\n
              \r\n
              The deal values the MOM Group at €850 million. The transaction will be financed by Bel’s own financial resources and a €500-million debt issue. The Bel Group’s financial position will remain strong upon completion of that operation.\r\n
              \r\n
              A liquidity agreement will allow Bel to acquire 100% of MOM’s share capital by April 2022.\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>Antoine Fiévet, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer</strong>, said, <em>“I’m delighted that we have achieved this new step. This transaction alongside the MOM Group managers represents a historical opportunity for Bel to assert its leadership as a major player in the healthy snacks segment, in line with the directions that we have set for the coming years. At MOM, as at Bel, the strategic relevance of the deal and the range of growth opportunities it creates are clear to everyone. We are all very eager to begin our collaboration and to launch this new growth phase, which is very exciting for all the teams.”</em>\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong> Michel Larroche, MOM Group CEO</strong>, said, <em>“For MOM, this partnership with Bel offers a unique opportunity to accelerate the growth of our healthy, fruit and dairy snack brands by leaning on the Bel Group’s extraordinary international reach. Our partnership with Bel will help create a global, healthy snack-food company that is uniquely positioned and supported by strong brands. I thank and applaud LBO France, as well as the MOM Group employees who helped double our company’s size over the past five years and helped build strong brands, notably in France and the United States. I am pleased to have the opportunity to further accelerate our growth in partnership with Bel’s teams.”</em>\r\n
              \r\n
              Robert Daussun, LBO France CEO, said, “LBO France is pleased to see the conclusion of this acquisition, which crowns the impeccable career of a company striking out to conquer international markets. The remarkable success achieved in the U.S. is only a step on MOM’s way to becoming a world leader. At the dawn of this future growth phase, we are particularly pleased to be passing the baton to the Bel Group. With this partnership, MOM will find the natural commercial resources to accelerate its growth, and Bel will definitively be able to assert its ambition as a global player in healthy snacks. LBO France is proud of its contribution to strengthening the French food industry’s international position and reputation for excellence and performance.”\r\n

          <strong>Paris, 3 July 2017</strong> – LBO France announced today that it has successfully completed the sale of its WEST PARK office building to AXA Investment Managers - Real Assets (AXA IM - Real Assets).\r\n
          \r\n
          Originally built in the 1980s, WEST PARK was acquired in October 2015 by White Stone VI, a fund managed by LBO France which then launched an extensive refurbishment programme of the asset, due for completion by the end of 2017. As previously announced by LBO France in March 2017, WEST PARK has been fully pre-let to Groupama on a 12-year firm lease and will be 1 of the 5 buildings of the future 55,000 sqm campus where the French insurance group plans to gather c.3,200 of its employees over the coming months.\r\n
          \r\n
          Overlooking the Terrasses de l’Arche in Nanterre, next to Nanterre Préfecture station on the RER A commuter line and the future Grand Paris Nanterre La Folie hub station, WEST PARK is an office building offering 20,100 sqm, spread across 11 floors, including 3 underground levels with a combined parking capacity of c.200 places. Arranged around a landscaped patio, the complex offers its future users a prime location alongside the green corridor now connecting the Terrasses to La Défense, the main business district of Western Paris. WEST PARK boasts a dual environmental certification (NF Bâtiment Tertiaire Démarche HQE and BREEAM “Very Good”) and an “excellent”-level BBC Effinergie label, fully in line with LBO France’s ESG initiatives and commitments.\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong> Stéphanie Casciola, Partner, Head of Real Estate at LBO France</strong>, commented:<em> "We are extremely pleased to have turned a complex yet promising real-estate project such as WEST PARK into an attractive and successful investment. Again, this clearly demonstrates LBO France’s offensive and value-added strategy on the French office market and its ability to identify and restructure promising assets in areas with substantial turnaround potential, and always with a clear focus on long-term sustainability." </em>\r\n
          \r\n
          As part of the invitation to tender led by CBRE Capital Markets, mandated on a co-exclusive basis with SAVILLS France, LBO France (Stéphanie CASCIOLA, Julien ROUILLON) was advised by law firms ORRICK (Patrick TARDIVY) and KRAMER LEVIN (Pierre APPREMONT), notarial practice MONASSIER, BURTHE-MIQUE et Associés (Guillaume PALAIS) and works project management and technical assistance company ROM (Hervé ROUX).\r\n
          \r\n

          First deal of “Gioconda” fund managed by LBO France and focused on Italian businesses\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>Milan, May 2017</strong>: LBO France has acquired a 75% stake in VetroElite S.p.A. from Gradiente, thereby completing its first direct acquisition in Italy using its new “Gioconda” fund, aimed at supporting the worldwide development of companies within Italian sectors of excellence.\r\n
          \r\n
          VetroElite, headquartered in Ormelle (Treviso), recorded turnover of nearly 20 million Euros in 2016 and designs and markets specialty glass containers and bottles mainly sold via its own subsidiaries in Europe and North America. Through this operation, Daniele Feletto, VetroElite’s Chairman and CEO, has increased his stake to 25% of the company, thereby demonstrating his wish to pursue the company’s international development, supported by an increased product differentiation and extended product range.\r\n
          \r\n
          <em>“I created VetroElite many years ago, and LBO France’s investment is a new step in its development; I am confident that with their support and international business experience, we will succeed in accelerating business growth in European and overseas markets, turning VetroElite into an Italian brand with a worldwide recognition in the high-end specialty glass packaging sector,”</em> commented <strong>Daniele Feletto, VetroElite’s Chairman and CEO.</strong>\r\n
          \r\n
          <em>“VetroElite is the first start of a new era for LBO France’s smallcap fund, with enhanced focus on sustained company developments, in particular on international expansion and potentially through external growth strategies, alongside management team structuration,”</em> said <strong>Arthur Bernardin, Managing Director at LBO France.</strong>\r\n
          \r\n
          <em>“The story of VetroElite is emblematic of the success of Italian SMEs and a perfect target for the new fund; it has been able to seize opportunities given by structurally growing markets, benefiting from a solid position based on genuine Italian know-how. It is at the perfect cornerstone of glass, a field in which Italy (and the Venice region in particular) excels, and Italian design, recognised on an international level,”</em> added <strong>Roberto d’Angelo, Managing Director of the “Gioconda” fund.</strong>\r\n
          \r\n
          <em>“We are delighted to have sold our business to LBO France, and we are convinced that, thanks to the fund’s international profile, the company will further strengthen and continue his growth path started with us in 2013. Since then, Gradiente has been working with the business owners to create value, developing the company via investments in new projects, through organic development, and diversification in new countries,”</em> declared <strong>Pietro Busnardo, Deputy Chairman of Gradiente SGR.</strong>\r\n
          \r\n
          LBO France was advised by Studio Legale NCTM on legal and tax aspects of the deal, by LEK on commercial due diligence and by Deloitte on financial due diligence. Gradiente was assisted by Vitale&amp;Co. as financial advisor, by PwC as financial and tax consultant and by Studio Grava for legal aspects. Management was advised by Andrea Citterio for financial aspects and by Dentons on legal matters.\r\n

          <strong>Paris, April 12 th 2017</strong> – LBO France announces that it has entered into exclusive negotiations with Sagard for the acquisition of HMY Group, a leading international group in the design, manufacturing and fitting of retail furniture.\r\n
          \r\n
          Created in 1960, HMY offers a wide range of furniture (shelving systems, checkouts and bespoke) and provides its clients with integrated service solutions, from conception to their installation in the shop. HMY’s clients range from the top food retailers to the leading specialized retailers, which include DIY, gardening, fashion or electric appliance chains. The group has also successfully diversified in offering POS fittings for international consumer brands.\r\n
          \r\n
          Active in almost 80 countries, HMY is the market leader in France and Spain, its historic core markets (70% of turnover) as well as in China and employs 4,000 people around the world. In 2016, the Group generated €485m of sales.\r\n
          \r\n
          Sagard had been a majority shareholder of HMY since January 2005, together with management.\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>Vincent Briançon, partner at LBO France</strong>, said: <em>“Undisputed leader in its historic markets in France and Spain, HMY has become a global player with the support of its shareholders, with in particular a strong presence in China where it is now a leading shopfitter. Strengthened by its unique international coverage, the group has also diversified its activity with POS solutions for global consumer brands, with great successes like the partnership with Adidas. We are delighted to support the management in this new development cycle and should be able to leverage our expertise of the POS and shelving markets, acquired in particular through our past investments in Diam and Averys.” </em>\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>Frédéric Stolar, founding partner at Sagard</strong>, added:<em> “We are proud to have accompanied the successful development and industrial transformation of HMY over more than 10 years. The company is now a global leader with a strong positioning within its key markets. Under the leadership of Ignacio Marin Villamayor, HMY developed a robust product offering targeting the new, highly promising POS market and serving high-profile clients such as Adidas, to which it is a top supplier. Sagard remained a loyal supporter of the management team through sometimes difficult periods, and we are proud of this successful exit with LBO France.”</em>\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>Ignacio Marin Villamayor, CEO of HMY</strong>, concluded: <em>“Thanks to the constant support of Sagard, shareholder of the Group for the past 12 years, HMY has become a world leader in its traditional markets. We are now pleased to have a new shareholder, LBO France, who will actively support the Group in its sectorial and geographical development, especially with acquisitions, in order to reiterate its position as a consolidation platform in the sector. The diversification into areas such as new technologies and lighting will position HMY as the leader in retail innovation.” </em>\r\n

          <strong>Paris, 24 March 2017</strong> – LBO France has announced that it has entered into exclusive negotiations for the sale of CHRYSO, one of the four main global specialty chemicals groups for construction materials. The sale of CHRYSO would be the first for the LBO France White Knight IX fund.\r\n
          \r\n
          CHRYSO is a leading international producer of additives and admixtures which improve the performance of concrete and cement, and construction systems for the repair and maintenance of buildings. Additives and admixtures are used in concrete and cement in order to improve properties such as ease of handling, setting/dying time, fluidity and resistance to mechanical damage. Formulations are manufactured for use in concrete repair, flooring, adhesives and waterproofing.\r\n
          \r\n
          LBO France acquired CHRYSO in 2014 as a subsidiary of the Materis group, of which LBO France had been the majority shareholder between November 2003 and May 2006, allowing it to become independent. With a turnover of more than 300 million euros in 2016, today CHRYSO is a French construction materials champion on an international scale, known for its high capacity for innovation. The Group, with a footprint in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia and the United States, operates in more than 100 countries worldwide. CHRYSO today has 29 manufacturing facilities and four R&amp;D centres, employing around 1,130 people worldwide.\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>Robert Daussun, CEO of LBO France</strong> said <em>“Alongside the CHRYSO management team, we have proudly achieved three objectives in less than three years: we transformed a subsidiary of the Materis group into an independent, fully-fledged player on a very competitive global market; we accelerated the group’s international development, in particular in the Middle East, India and Asia; and right up until today, the date of sale, we have preserved the group’s independence in the face of huge competition, now by choosing a new financial shareholder which will ensure the integrity of the group and its manufacturing base and will be committed to supporting its future growth.” </em>\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>Thomas Boulman, Partner at LBO France,</strong> added: <em>“CHRYSO has increased its EBITDA by nearly 50% in less than three years. That was no accident. The technical quality of its products and the power of its R&amp;D had a lot to do with it. The geographic choices which were made for its international development and the emphasis placed on acquisitions in growth regions are also part of the explanation. It’s because of this that we are delighted to have been able to provide the company with technical assistance and essential financing.”</em>\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong> Thierry Bernard, Chairman and CEO of CHRYSO Group</strong>, concluded: <em>“Over the last three years we have leveraged the experience and know-how of the LBO France teams to move through a major stage in our history, and we are very pleased to be able to maintain our autonomy and independence with a new shareholder.” </em>\r\n
          \r\n
          The CHRYSO works council will be consulted on the transaction, which will be subject to the customary regulatory approvals.\r\n
          \r\n
          LBO France is being advised on the transaction by Laurent Baril (Rothschild &amp; Cie), François Vigne (Sycomore Corporate Finance), Xavier Jaspar (Mayer Brown).\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>About LBO France </strong>\r\n

          <strong>Paris, 1 March 2017</strong> – LBO France has signed a 12-year firm lease with Groupama for its entire WEST PARK office building, before completion of the undergoing restructuring of the property.\r\n
          \r\n
          Located along the Terrasses de l’Arche in Nanterre, next to Nanterre Préfecture station on the RER A commuter line, WEST PARK is an office building of around 20,000 sqm. Arranged around a landscaped patio, the complex offers its future users a prime location on the green corridor now connecting the Terrasses to La Défense, the main business centre of Western Paris.\r\n
          \r\n
          WEST PARK is one of the five buildings on the future 55,000 sqm campus where Groupama plans to bring together 3,200 of its employees by the end of 2017.\r\n
          \r\n
          LBO France acquired WEST PARK (vacated by EDF in 2014) in mid-2015 and, with the help of the developer LINKCITY and the global player Bouygues Construction IDF, is currently leading a programme to fully restructure the building which is expected to be delivered at the end of 2017. This new complex reflects a firmly ecological and responsible approach and boasts dual environmental certification (NF Bâtiment Tertiaire Démarche HQE and BREEAM “Very Good”) and an “Excellent”-level BBC Effinergie label, perfectly illustrating the effectiveness of LBO France’s ESG initiatives and commitments, such as the signing of the energy efficiency charter for private and public tertiary buildings last October.\r\n
          \r\n
          - - -\r\n
          \r\n
          As part of the project to market the property, led by SAVILLS France (Bertrand RENAUDEAU d’ARC) mandated on a co-exclusive basis with BNP Paribas Real Estate, LBO France (Stéphanie CASCIOLA and Julien ROUILLON) was advised by the law firm BG2V (Quentin LEROUX), as well as by the firm ROM (Hervé ROUX) on the technical and project management aspects of the restructuring process. Groupama Immobilier (Eric DONNET, Laetitia GEORGE and Bruno CARDOSO da COSTA) was advised by the law firm ALLEN &amp; OVERY (Jean-Dominique CASALTA) and by PARELLA (Olivier NEUMAN and Stéphane DINGOYAN).\r\n

          \r\n
          Diabetes is a chronic condition characterized by high blood sugar levels that stem from inappropriate production or use of insulin. Nearly 30 million Americans and 400 million people worldwide have diabetes. Ninety percent of these individuals have type 2 diabetes and are often treated with basal insulin. Despite being provided with effective medications, more than half of them do not meet the recommended targets for glycemic control. Major contributing factors include challenges with insulin initiation and titration. Owing to the complications associated with diabetes, its total annual cost in the US amounts to $300 billion. Optimizing adherence to diabetes medications is recognized as one of the most effective ways of controlling disease expenditures. The cost saving opportunity in the U.S is estimated to be $4,6901 per patient per year.\r\n
          \r\n
          Insulia® Diabetes Management Companion is a prescription-only medical device that provides patients with insulin dose recommendations and educational coaching messages in response to blood glucose values and other diabetes-related data. Insulia® supports a wide variety of treatment plan configurations and evidence-based insulin adjustment rules used in routine clinical practice. First the clinician sets up a personalized treatment plan based on the patient’s profile, insulin prescription and blood glucose targets. This enables Insulia® to provide automated insulin dosing recommendations to the patient. The dose adjustment algorithm is embedded in the application, and is accessible to the patient via a web portal or via iOS and Android smartphones and tablets. The patient data is automatically shared with the health care team, who can remotely monitor the patient’s progress toward their goal thanks to tailored notifications. This enables providers to deliver highly personalized telemedicine services, a practice increasingly supported by payers worldwide.\r\n

          <em> “Type 2 diabetes is a complex condition, especially for people who have transitioned to insulin therapy. Indeed, self-monitoring blood glucose and self-managing insulin doses is cumbersome and challenging for a majority of patients. As a result, harnessing new and reliable technologies to support patients in safely managing insulin dosing while keeping in touch with healthcare team could be well received by provider and patient communities”</em> said <strong>Ananda Basu, MBBS, MD, Endocrinologist, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN. </strong>\r\n
          \r\n
          <em>“To make a meaningful impact on patients’ daily lives as well as clinical outcomes, we need to use intelligent digital solutions that go beyond data sharing between patients and clinicians. This is what CERITD and Voluntis have been working on together for more than 10 years, designing and evaluating software that provides automated recommendations and clinical decision support to take diabetes care management to the next level.”</em> said <strong>Guillaume Charpentier, MD, Endocrinologist, President of CERITD (Research Center for the Intensification of Diabetes Treatment). </strong>\r\n
          \r\n
          <em>“With companion software, we seek to contribute to the transition to value-based care, by improving quality of care and optimizing the cost of managing chronic diseases.” said Pierre Leurent, Voluntis’ Founder and CEO. “This simultaneous regulatory clearance of Insulia®, both in the USA and in Europe, is a unique achievement in digital health and the culmination of many years of hard work. We look forward to working hand in hand with providers and payers, as well as our business partners, to make this innovative solution widely available to patients across the globe”. </em>\r\n
          \r\n
          Insulia® will be available to patients and healthcare providers in the first half of 2017.\r\n

          The Bel Group and MOM Group's management team on July 29, 2016 agreed in writing to undertake exclusive negotiations with LBO France to acquire the MOM Group. Under the proposed deal, the Bel Group would take a majority interest in MOM, with MOM's current management remaining as a shareholder.\r\n
          \r\n
          With brands The Laughing Cow®, Kiri®, Mini Babybel®, Leerdammer®, and Boursin®, Bel is the world leader in single-serving cheese portions, delivering consumer products that are synonymous with quality, convenience and healthy eating pleasure. For over 150 years, the Bel Group has built on its industrial knowhow, its daring marketing campaigns and its range of unique products to grow internationally, today selling its brands in nearly 130 countries.\r\n
          \r\n
          The MOM Group, majority owned by LBO France since 2010, has achieved unequalled business growth in France and the United States. While building on its historical Materne® and Mont Blanc® brands sold in France, the MOM Group created the fruit squeezers category and developed strong leadership positions with its Pom'Potes® and GoGosqueeZ® brands in both France and the United States. Over the past five years, MOM has doubled in size, achieving sales of €362 million in 2015. The company employs 1,300 people and owns four production sites, including two in France and two in the United States. It aims to use its industrial knowhow and capacity for innovation to gain international leadership positions through its brands.\r\n
          \r\n
          The deal would enable Bel and MOM to fashion together a major global player in the healthy snacks segment, founded on strong and innovative brands, and very highly complementary product ranges and territories.\r\n
          \r\n
          The deal will be submitted to both companies' labor-representation bodies for consultation and to the competent competition authorities for approval. It will also be subject to the usual closing conditions, with a view to completing the transaction by the end of 2016. The acquisition would be financed by Bel's own financial resources and by issuing additional debt without undermining Bel's financial health.\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>Antoine Fiévet, Fromageries Bel Chairman and CEO</strong>, said, <em>"This deal alongside MOM Group's management represents an historic opportunity for Bel to accelerate the building of a major player in single-serving healthy snack portions, in step with the Group's strategic ambitions. The perfectly complementary nature of the product ranges is ideal for meeting growing consumer expectations and the nutritional challenges facing many, many countries. Focusing the teams on a limited number of brands with strong international potential, and combining the industrial expertise and innovative capabilities of Bel and MOM creates an extraordinary foundation for growth."</em>\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong> Press release Michel Larroche, MOM Group CEO</strong>, said, <em>"For MOM, a partnership with Bel offers a unique opportunity to accelerate the growth of our healthy, fruit and dairy snack brands, by leaning on the Bel Group's extraordinary international reach. Our partnership with Bel will help create a French headquartered, healthy snack-food company that will be uniquely positioned and supported by international brands. I thank and applaud LBO France, as well as the MOM Group employees who have greatly contributed to double our company's size over the past five years and helped build strong brands, notably in France and the United States. I am pleased to have the opportunity to further accelerate our growth in partnership with Bel's teams." </em>\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>Robert Daussun, LBO France CEO</strong>, commented, "<em>It's a financial, strategic and economic slamdunk. The French leader five years ago has become an international player and can now legitimately aim to become a global leader. We gave MOM the means to develop in the United States, and the choice that we have made today to couple it with a global player in the cheese industry is a decisive strategic step. MOM will have the human resources and the local avenues needed to accelerate its growth, with the new group becoming the flagship French company in the global snack food sector."</em>\r\n
          \r\n
          The Bel Group was advised by Messier Maris &amp; Associés in M&amp;A and by Cleary Gottlieb in legal affairs.\r\n

          MOM and its management were advised by Sycomore Corporate Finance in M&amp;A and by Opleo Avocats in legal affairs. LBO France was advised by Mayer Brown in legal affairs.\r\n

          The Bel Group and the MOM Group’s management team on October 20, 2016 signed an agreement with LBO France to acquire the MOM Group. Under the agreement, Bel will become MOM’s majority shareholder with 65% of ordinary shares, while MOM’s management will hold the remaining 35% of ordinary shares. The management team that has led MOM’s development will remain a shareholder. Michel Larroche will continue as MOM’s CEO.\r\n
          \r\n
          The MOM Group, majority owned by LBO France since 2010, has achieved unrivaled business growth in France and the United States. While building on its historical Materne® and Mont Blanc® brands sold in France, the MOM Group created the fruit squeezers category and developed strong leadership positions with its Pom’Potes® brand in France and its GoGo squeeZ® brand in the United States.\r\n
          \r\n
          Over the past five years, MOM has doubled in size, achieving sales of €362 million in 2015. The company employs 1,300 people and owns four production sites, including two in France and two in the United States. The transaction will enable Bel to create a major global player in the healthy snacks segment. It provides a unique opportunity for MOM to accelerate its growth supported by Bel’s international presence. Both Bel and MOM have built their identities on strong and innovative brands, and both companies plan to harness the complementarity of their product ranges, territories and industrial knowhow to establish their leadership internationally.\r\n
          \r\n
          Following exclusive talks entered into on July 29, Bel and MOM won unanimous approval for the planned transaction from the labor-representation bodies of both companies. Completion of the deal remains subject to the approval of French and U.S. competition authorities, who are expected to rule by the end of the year.\r\n
          \r\n
          The deal values the MOM Group at €850 million. The transaction will be financed by Bel’s own financial resources and a €500-million debt issue. The Bel Group’s financial position will remain strong upon completion of that operation.\r\n
          \r\n
          A liquidity agreement will allow Bel to acquire 100% of MOM’s share capital by April 2022.\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>Antoine Fiévet, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer</strong>, said, <em>“I’m delighted that we have achieved this new step. This transaction alongside the MOM Group managers represents a historical opportunity for Bel to assert its leadership as a major player in the healthy snacks segment, in line with the directions that we have set for the coming years. At MOM, as at Bel, the strategic relevance of the deal and the range of growth opportunities it creates are clear to everyone. We are all very eager to begin our collaboration and to launch this new growth phase, which is very exciting for all the teams.”</em>\r\n
          \r\n

The remarkable success achieved in the U.S. is only a step on MOM’s way to becoming a world leader. At the dawn of this future growth phase, we are particularly pleased to be passing the baton to the Bel Group. With this partnership, MOM will find the natural commercial resources to accelerate its growth, and Bel will definitively be able to assert its ambition as a global player in healthy snacks. LBO France is proud of its contribution to strengthening the French food industry’s international position and reputation for excellence and performance.”\r\n

              <strong>Paris, 3 July 2017</strong> – LBO France announced today that it has successfully completed the sale of its WEST PARK office building to AXA Investment Managers - Real Assets (AXA IM - Real Assets).\r\n
              \r\n
              Originally built in the 1980s, WEST PARK was acquired in October 2015 by White Stone VI, a fund managed by LBO France which then launched an extensive refurbishment programme of the asset, due for completion by the end of 2017. As previously announced by LBO France in March 2017, WEST PARK has been fully pre-let to Groupama on a 12-year firm lease and will be 1 of the 5 buildings of the future 55,000 sqm campus where the French insurance group plans to gather c.3,200 of its employees over the coming months.\r\n
              \r\n
              Overlooking the Terrasses de l’Arche in Nanterre, next to Nanterre Préfecture station on the RER A commuter line and the future Grand Paris Nanterre La Folie hub station, WEST PARK is an office building offering 20,100 sqm, spread across 11 floors, including 3 underground levels with a combined parking capacity of c.200 places. Arranged around a landscaped patio, the complex offers its future users a prime location alongside the green corridor now connecting the Terrasses to La Défense, the main business district of Western Paris. WEST PARK boasts a dual environmental certification (NF Bâtiment Tertiaire Démarche HQE and BREEAM “Very Good”) and an “excellent”-level BBC Effinergie label, fully in line with LBO France’s ESG initiatives and commitments.\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong> Stéphanie Casciola, Partner, Head of Real Estate at LBO France</strong>, commented:<em> "We are extremely pleased to have turned a complex yet promising real-estate project such as WEST PARK into an attractive and successful investment. Again, this clearly demonstrates LBO France’s offensive and value-added strategy on the French office market and its ability to identify and restructure promising assets in areas with substantial turnaround potential, and always with a clear focus on long-term sustainability." </em>\r\n
              \r\n
              As part of the invitation to tender led by CBRE Capital Markets, mandated on a co-exclusive basis with SAVILLS France, LBO France (Stéphanie CASCIOLA, Julien ROUILLON) was advised by law firms ORRICK (Patrick TARDIVY) and KRAMER LEVIN (Pierre APPREMONT), notarial practice MONASSIER, BURTHE-MIQUE et Associés (Guillaume PALAIS) and works project management and technical assistance company ROM (Hervé ROUX).\r\n

              First deal of “Gioconda” fund managed by LBO France and focused on Italian businesses\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>Milan, May 2017</strong>: LBO France has acquired a 75% stake in VetroElite S.p.A. from Gradiente, thereby completing its first direct acquisition in Italy using its new “Gioconda” fund, aimed at supporting the worldwide development of companies within Italian sectors of excellence.\r\n
              \r\n
              VetroElite, headquartered in Ormelle (Treviso), recorded turnover of nearly 20 million Euros in 2016 and designs and markets specialty glass containers and bottles mainly sold via its own subsidiaries in Europe and North America. Through this operation, Daniele Feletto, VetroElite’s Chairman and CEO, has increased his stake to 25% of the company, thereby demonstrating his wish to pursue the company’s international development, supported by an increased product differentiation and extended product range.\r\n
              \r\n
              <em>“I created VetroElite many years ago, and LBO France’s investment is a new step in its development; I am confident that with their support and international business experience, we will succeed in accelerating business growth in European and overseas markets, turning VetroElite into an Italian brand with a worldwide recognition in the high-end specialty glass packaging sector,”</em> commented <strong>Daniele Feletto, VetroElite’s Chairman and CEO.</strong>\r\n
              \r\n
              <em>“VetroElite is the first start of a new era for LBO France’s smallcap fund, with enhanced focus on sustained company developments, in particular on international expansion and potentially through external growth strategies, alongside management team structuration,”</em> said <strong>Arthur Bernardin, Managing Director at LBO France.</strong>\r\n
              \r\n
              <em>“The story of VetroElite is emblematic of the success of Italian SMEs and a perfect target for the new fund; it has been able to seize opportunities given by structurally growing markets, benefiting from a solid position based on genuine Italian know-how. It is at the perfect cornerstone of glass, a field in which Italy (and the Venice region in particular) excels, and Italian design, recognised on an international level,”</em> added <strong>Roberto d’Angelo, Managing Director of the “Gioconda” fund.</strong>\r\n
              \r\n
              <em>“We are delighted to have sold our business to LBO France, and we are convinced that, thanks to the fund’s international profile, the company will further strengthen and continue his growth path started with us in 2013. Since then, Gradiente has been working with the business owners to create value, developing the company via investments in new projects, through organic development, and diversification in new countries,”</em> declared <strong>Pietro Busnardo, Deputy Chairman of Gradiente SGR.</strong>\r\n

              LBO France was advised by Studio Legale NCTM on legal and tax aspects of the deal, by LEK on commercial due diligence and by Deloitte on financial due diligence.

              <strong>Paris, April 12 th 2017</strong> – LBO France announces that it has entered into exclusive negotiations with Sagard for the acquisition of HMY Group, a leading international group in the design, manufacturing and fitting of retail furniture.\r\n
              \r\n
              Created in 1960, HMY offers a wide range of furniture (shelving systems, checkouts and bespoke) and provides its clients with integrated service solutions, from conception to their installation in the shop. HMY’s clients range from the top food retailers to the leading specialized retailers, which include DIY, gardening, fashion or electric appliance chains. The group has also successfully diversified in offering POS fittings for international consumer brands.\r\n
              \r\n
              Active in almost 80 countries, HMY is the market leader in France and Spain, its historic core markets (70% of turnover) as well as in China and employs 4,000 people around the world. In 2016, the Group generated €485m of sales.\r\n
              \r\n
              Sagard had been a majority shareholder of HMY since January 2005, together with management.\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>Vincent Briançon, partner at LBO France</strong>, said: <em>“Undisputed leader in its historic markets in France and Spain, HMY has become a global player with the support of its shareholders, with in particular a strong presence in China where it is now a leading shopfitter. Strengthened by its unique international coverage, the group has also diversified its activity with POS solutions for global consumer brands, with great successes like the partnership with Adidas. We are delighted to support the management in this new development cycle and should be able to leverage our expertise of the POS and shelving markets, acquired in particular through our past investments in Diam and Averys.” </em>\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>Frédéric Stolar, founding partner at Sagard</strong>, added:<em> “We are proud to have accompanied the successful development and industrial transformation of HMY over more than 10 years. The company is now a global leader with a strong positioning within its key markets. Under the leadership of Ignacio Marin Villamayor, HMY developed a robust product offering targeting the new, highly promising POS market and serving high-profile clients such as Adidas, to which it is a top supplier. Sagard remained a loyal supporter of the management team through sometimes difficult periods, and we are proud of this successful exit with LBO France.”</em>\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>Ignacio Marin Villamayor, CEO of HMY</strong>, concluded: <em>“Thanks to the constant support of Sagard, shareholder of the Group for the past 12 years, HMY has become a world leader in its traditional markets. We are now pleased to have a new shareholder, LBO France, who will actively support the Group in its sectorial and geographical development, especially with acquisitions, in order to reiterate its position as a consolidation platform in the sector. The diversification into areas such as new technologies and lighting will position HMY as the leader in retail innovation.” </em>\r\n

              <strong>Paris, 24 March 2017</strong> – LBO France has announced that it has entered into exclusive negotiations for the sale of CHRYSO, one of the four main global specialty chemicals groups for construction materials. The sale of CHRYSO would be the first for the LBO France White Knight IX fund.\r\n
              \r\n
              CHRYSO is a leading international producer of additives and admixtures which improve the performance of concrete and cement, and construction systems for the repair and maintenance of buildings. Additives and admixtures are used in concrete and cement in order to improve properties such as ease of handling, setting/dying time, fluidity and resistance to mechanical damage. Formulations are manufactured for use in concrete repair, flooring, adhesives and waterproofing.\r\n
              \r\n
              LBO France acquired CHRYSO in 2014 as a subsidiary of the Materis group, of which LBO France had been the majority shareholder between November 2003 and May 2006, allowing it to become independent. With a turnover of more than 300 million euros in 2016, today CHRYSO is a French construction materials champion on an international scale, known for its high capacity for innovation. The Group, with a footprint in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia and the United States, operates in more than 100 countries worldwide. CHRYSO today has 29 manufacturing facilities and four R&amp;D centres, employing around 1,130 people worldwide.\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>Robert Daussun, CEO of LBO France</strong> said <em>“Alongside the CHRYSO management team, we have proudly achieved three objectives in less than three years: we transformed a subsidiary of the Materis group into an independent, fully-fledged player on a very competitive global market; we accelerated the group’s international development, in particular in the Middle East, India and Asia; and right up until today, the date of sale, we have preserved the group’s independence in the face of huge competition, now by choosing a new financial shareholder which will ensure the integrity of the group and its manufacturing base and will be committed to supporting its future growth.” </em>\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>Thomas Boulman, Partner at LBO France,</strong> added: <em>“CHRYSO has increased its EBITDA by nearly 50% in less than three years. That was no accident. The technical quality of its products and the power of its R&amp;D had a lot to do with it. The geographic choices which were made for its international development and the emphasis placed on acquisitions in growth regions are also part of the explanation. It’s because of this that we are delighted to have been able to provide the company with technical assistance and essential financing.”</em>\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong> Thierry Bernard, Chairman and CEO of CHRYSO Group</strong>, concluded: <em>“Over the last three years we have leveraged the experience and know-how of the LBO France teams to move through a major stage in our history, and we are very pleased to be able to maintain our autonomy and independence with a new shareholder.” </em>\r\n
              \r\n
              The CHRYSO works council will be consulted on the transaction, which will be subject to the customary regulatory approvals.\r\n
              \r\n
              LBO France is being advised on the transaction by Laurent Baril (Rothschild &amp; Cie), François Vigne (Sycomore Corporate Finance), Xavier Jaspar (Mayer Brown).\r\n

              <strong>Paris, 1 March 2017</strong> – LBO France has signed a 12-year firm lease with Groupama for its entire WEST PARK office building, before completion of the undergoing restructuring of the property.\r\n
              \r\n
              Located along the Terrasses de l’Arche in Nanterre, next to Nanterre Préfecture station on the RER A commuter line, WEST PARK is an office building of around 20,000 sqm. Arranged around a landscaped patio, the complex offers its future users a prime location on the green corridor now connecting the Terrasses to La Défense, the main business centre of Western Paris.\r\n
              \r\n
              WEST PARK is one of the five buildings on the future 55,000 sqm campus where Groupama plans to bring together 3,200 of its employees by the end of 2017.\r\n
              \r\n
              LBO France acquired WEST PARK (vacated by EDF in 2014) in mid-2015 and, with the help of the developer LINKCITY and the global player Bouygues Construction IDF, is currently leading a programme to fully restructure the building which is expected to be delivered at the end of 2017. This new complex reflects a firmly ecological and responsible approach and boasts dual environmental certification (NF Bâtiment Tertiaire Démarche HQE and BREEAM “Very Good”) and an “Excellent”-level BBC Effinergie label, perfectly illustrating the effectiveness of LBO France’s ESG initiatives and commitments, such as the signing of the energy efficiency charter for private and public tertiary buildings last October.\r\n

Groupama Immobilier (Eric DONNET, Laetitia GEORGE and Bruno CARDOSO da COSTA) was advised by the law firm ALLEN &amp; OVERY (Jean-Dominique CASALTA) and by PARELLA (Olivier NEUMAN and Stéphane DINGOYAN).\r\n

              Cambridge, MA and Paris, France – <strong>December 6th , 2016</strong> – Voluntis, a company pioneering therapeutic companion software that empowers patients to self-manage chronic diseases, has received FDA 510(k) clearance, as well as the CE Mark, for Insulia®. This first-in-class global digital solution supports the effective management of type 2 adult diabetes patients treated with basal insulin.\r\n
              \r\n
              Diabetes is a chronic condition characterized by high blood sugar levels that stem from inappropriate production or use of insulin. Nearly 30 million Americans and 400 million people worldwide have diabetes. Ninety percent of these individuals have type 2 diabetes and are often treated with basal insulin. Despite being provided with effective medications, more than half of them do not meet the recommended targets for glycemic control. Major contributing factors include challenges with insulin initiation and titration. Owing to the complications associated with diabetes, its total annual cost in the US amounts to $300 billion. Optimizing adherence to diabetes medications is recognized as one of the most effective ways of controlling disease expenditures. The cost saving opportunity in the U.S is estimated to be $4,6901 per patient per year.\r\n
              \r\n
              Insulia® Diabetes Management Companion is a prescription-only medical device that provides patients with insulin dose recommendations and educational coaching messages in response to blood glucose values and other diabetes-related data. Insulia® supports a wide variety of treatment plan configurations and evidence-based insulin adjustment rules used in routine clinical practice. First the clinician sets up a personalized treatment plan based on the patient’s profile, insulin prescription and blood glucose targets. This enables Insulia® to provide automated insulin dosing recommendations to the patient. The dose adjustment algorithm is embedded in the application, and is accessible to the patient via a web portal or via iOS and Android smartphones and tablets. The patient data is automatically shared with the health care team, who can remotely monitor the patient’s progress toward their goal thanks to tailored notifications. This enables providers to deliver highly personalized telemedicine services, a practice increasingly supported by payers worldwide.\r\n

              <em> “Type 2 diabetes is a complex condition, especially for people who have transitioned to insulin therapy. Indeed, self-monitoring blood glucose and self-managing insulin doses is cumbersome and challenging for a majority of patients. As a result, harnessing new and reliable technologies to support patients in safely managing insulin dosing while keeping in touch with healthcare team could be well received by provider and patient communities”</em> said <strong>Ananda Basu, MBBS, MD, Endocrinologist, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN. </strong>\r\n
              \r\n
              <em>“To make a meaningful impact on patients’ daily lives as well as clinical outcomes, we need to use intelligent digital solutions that go beyond data sharing between patients and clinicians. This is what CERITD and Voluntis have been working on together for more than 10 years, designing and evaluating software that provides automated recommendations and clinical decision support to take diabetes care management to the next level.”</em> said <strong>Guillaume Charpentier, MD, Endocrinologist, President of CERITD (Research Center for the Intensification of Diabetes Treatment). </strong>\r\n

              <em>“With companion software, we seek to contribute to the transition to value-based care, by improving quality of care and optimizing the cost of managing chronic diseases.” said Pierre Leurent, Voluntis’ Founder and CEO. “This simultaneous regulatory clearance of Insulia®, both in the USA and in Europe, is a unique achievement in digital health and the culmination of many years of hard work.

              The Bel Group and MOM Group's management team on July 29, 2016 agreed in writing to undertake exclusive negotiations with LBO France to acquire the MOM Group. Under the proposed deal, the Bel Group would take a majority interest in MOM, with MOM's current management remaining as a shareholder.\r\n
              \r\n
              With brands The Laughing Cow®, Kiri®, Mini Babybel®, Leerdammer®, and Boursin®, Bel is the world leader in single-serving cheese portions, delivering consumer products that are synonymous with quality, convenience and healthy eating pleasure. For over 150 years, the Bel Group has built on its industrial knowhow, its daring marketing campaigns and its range of unique products to grow internationally, today selling its brands in nearly 130 countries.\r\n
              \r\n
              The MOM Group, majority owned by LBO France since 2010, has achieved unequalled business growth in France and the United States. While building on its historical Materne® and Mont Blanc® brands sold in France, the MOM Group created the fruit squeezers category and developed strong leadership positions with its Pom'Potes® and GoGosqueeZ® brands in both France and the United States. Over the past five years, MOM has doubled in size, achieving sales of €362 million in 2015. The company employs 1,300 people and owns four production sites, including two in France and two in the United States. It aims to use its industrial knowhow and capacity for innovation to gain international leadership positions through its brands.\r\n
              \r\n
              The deal would enable Bel and MOM to fashion together a major global player in the healthy snacks segment, founded on strong and innovative brands, and very highly complementary product ranges and territories.\r\n
              \r\n
              The deal will be submitted to both companies' labor-representation bodies for consultation and to the competent competition authorities for approval. It will also be subject to the usual closing conditions, with a view to completing the transaction by the end of 2016. The acquisition would be financed by Bel's own financial resources and by issuing additional debt without undermining Bel's financial health.\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>Antoine Fiévet, Fromageries Bel Chairman and CEO</strong>, said, <em>"This deal alongside MOM Group's management represents an historic opportunity for Bel to accelerate the building of a major player in single-serving healthy snack portions, in step with the Group's strategic ambitions. The perfectly complementary nature of the product ranges is ideal for meeting growing consumer expectations and the nutritional challenges facing many, many countries. Focusing the teams on a limited number of brands with strong international potential, and combining the industrial expertise and innovative capabilities of Bel and MOM creates an extraordinary foundation for growth."</em>\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong> Press release Michel Larroche, MOM Group CEO</strong>, said, <em>"For MOM, a partnership with Bel offers a unique opportunity to accelerate the growth of our healthy, fruit and dairy snack brands, by leaning on the Bel Group's extraordinary international reach. Our partnership with Bel will help create a French headquartered, healthy snack-food company that will be uniquely positioned and supported by international brands. I thank and applaud LBO France, as well as the MOM Group employees who have greatly contributed to double our company's size over the past five years and helped build strong brands, notably in France and the United States. I am pleased to have the opportunity to further accelerate our growth in partnership with Bel's teams." </em>\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>Robert Daussun, LBO France CEO</strong>, commented, "<em>It's a financial, strategic and economic slamdunk. The French leader five years ago has become an international player and can now legitimately aim to become a global leader. We gave MOM the means to develop in the United States, and the choice that we have made today to couple it with a global player in the cheese industry is a decisive strategic step. MOM will have the human resources and the local avenues needed to accelerate its growth, with the new group becoming the flagship French company in the global snack food sector."</em>\r\n
              \r\n
              The Bel Group was advised by Messier Maris &amp; Associés in M&amp;A and by Cleary Gottlieb in legal affairs.\r\n
              \r\n
              MOM and its management were advised by Sycomore Corporate Finance in M&amp;A and by Opleo Avocats in legal affairs. LBO France was advised by Mayer Brown in legal affairs.\r\n

              The Bel Group and the MOM Group’s management team on October 20, 2016 signed an agreement with LBO France to acquire the MOM Group. Under the agreement, Bel will become MOM’s majority shareholder with 65% of ordinary shares, while MOM’s management will hold the remaining 35% of ordinary shares. The management team that has led MOM’s development will remain a shareholder. Michel Larroche will continue as MOM’s CEO.\r\n
              \r\n
              The MOM Group, majority owned by LBO France since 2010, has achieved unrivaled business growth in France and the United States. While building on its historical Materne® and Mont Blanc® brands sold in France, the MOM Group created the fruit squeezers category and developed strong leadership positions with its Pom’Potes® brand in France and its GoGo squeeZ® brand in the United States.\r\n
              \r\n
              Over the past five years, MOM has doubled in size, achieving sales of €362 million in 2015. The company employs 1,300 people and owns four production sites, including two in France and two in the United States. The transaction will enable Bel to create a major global player in the healthy snacks segment. It provides a unique opportunity for MOM to accelerate its growth supported by Bel’s international presence. Both Bel and MOM have built their identities on strong and innovative brands, and both companies plan to harness the complementarity of their product ranges, territories and industrial knowhow to establish their leadership internationally.\r\n
              \r\n
              Following exclusive talks entered into on July 29, Bel and MOM won unanimous approval for the planned transaction from the labor-representation bodies of both companies. Completion of the deal remains subject to the approval of French and U.S. competition authorities, who are expected to rule by the end of the year.\r\n
              \r\n
              The deal values the MOM Group at €850 million. The transaction will be financed by Bel’s own financial resources and a €500-million debt issue. The Bel Group’s financial position will remain strong upon completion of that operation.\r\n
              \r\n
              A liquidity agreement will allow Bel to acquire 100% of MOM’s share capital by April 2022.\r\n
              \r\n
              <strong>Antoine Fiévet, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer</strong>, said, <em>“I’m delighted that we have achieved this new step. This transaction alongside the MOM Group managers represents a historical opportunity for Bel to assert its leadership as a major player in the healthy snacks segment, in line with the directions that we have set for the coming years. At MOM, as at Bel, the strategic relevance of the deal and the range of growth opportunities it creates are clear to everyone. We are all very eager to begin our collaboration and to launch this new growth phase, which is very exciting for all the teams.”</em>\r\n

              Robert Daussun, LBO France CEO, said, “LBO France is pleased to see the conclusion of this acquisition, which crowns the impeccable career of a company striking out to conquer international markets. The remarkable success achieved in the U.S. is only a step on MOM’s way to becoming a world leader. At the dawn of this future growth phase, we are particularly pleased to be passing the baton to the Bel Group. With this partnership, MOM will find the natural commercial resources to accelerate its growth, and Bel will definitively be able to assert its ambition as a global player in healthy snacks. LBO France is proud of its contribution to strengthening the French food industry’s international position and reputation for excellence and performance.”\r\n

          <strong>Paris, 3 July 2017</strong> – LBO France announced today that it has successfully completed the sale of its WEST PARK office building to AXA Investment Managers - Real Assets (AXA IM - Real Assets).\r\n
          \r\n
          Originally built in the 1980s, WEST PARK was acquired in October 2015 by White Stone VI, a fund managed by LBO France which then launched an extensive refurbishment programme of the asset, due for completion by the end of 2017. As previously announced by LBO France in March 2017, WEST PARK has been fully pre-let to Groupama on a 12-year firm lease and will be 1 of the 5 buildings of the future 55,000 sqm campus where the French insurance group plans to gather c.3,200 of its employees over the coming months.\r\n
          \r\n
          Overlooking the Terrasses de l’Arche in Nanterre, next to Nanterre Préfecture station on the RER A commuter line and the future Grand Paris Nanterre La Folie hub station, WEST PARK is an office building offering 20,100 sqm, spread across 11 floors, including 3 underground levels with a combined parking capacity of c.200 places. Arranged around a landscaped patio, the complex offers its future users a prime location alongside the green corridor now connecting the Terrasses to La Défense, the main business district of Western Paris. WEST PARK boasts a dual environmental certification (NF Bâtiment Tertiaire Démarche HQE and BREEAM “Very Good”) and an “excellent”-level BBC Effinergie label, fully in line with LBO France’s ESG initiatives and commitments.\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong> Stéphanie Casciola, Partner, Head of Real Estate at LBO France</strong>, commented:<em> "We are extremely pleased to have turned a complex yet promising real-estate project such as WEST PARK into an attractive and successful investment. Again, this clearly demonstrates LBO France’s offensive and value-added strategy on the French office market and its ability to identify and restructure promising assets in areas with substantial turnaround potential, and always with a clear focus on long-term sustainability." </em>\r\n
          \r\n

          First deal of “Gioconda” fund managed by LBO France and focused on Italian businesses\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>Milan, May 2017</strong>: LBO France has acquired a 75% stake in VetroElite S.p.A. from Gradiente, thereby completing its first direct acquisition in Italy using its new “Gioconda” fund, aimed at supporting the worldwide development of companies within Italian sectors of excellence.\r\n
          \r\n
          VetroElite, headquartered in Ormelle (Treviso), recorded turnover of nearly 20 million Euros in 2016 and designs and markets specialty glass containers and bottles mainly sold via its own subsidiaries in Europe and North America. Through this operation, Daniele Feletto, VetroElite’s Chairman and CEO, has increased his stake to 25% of the company, thereby demonstrating his wish to pursue the company’s international development, supported by an increased product differentiation and extended product range.\r\n
          \r\n
          <em>“I created VetroElite many years ago, and LBO France’s investment is a new step in its development; I am confident that with their support and international business experience, we will succeed in accelerating business growth in European and overseas markets, turning VetroElite into an Italian brand with a worldwide recognition in the high-end specialty glass packaging sector,”</em> commented <strong>Daniele Feletto, VetroElite’s Chairman and CEO.</strong>\r\n
          \r\n
          <em>“VetroElite is the first start of a new era for LBO France’s smallcap fund, with enhanced focus on sustained company developments, in particular on international expansion and potentially through external growth strategies, alongside management team structuration,”</em> said <strong>Arthur Bernardin, Managing Director at LBO France.</strong>\r\n
          \r\n
          <em>“The story of VetroElite is emblematic of the success of Italian SMEs and a perfect target for the new fund; it has been able to seize opportunities given by structurally growing markets, benefiting from a solid position based on genuine Italian know-how. It is at the perfect cornerstone of glass, a field in which Italy (and the Venice region in particular) excels, and Italian design, recognised on an international level,”</em> added <strong>Roberto d’Angelo, Managing Director of the “Gioconda” fund.</strong>\r\n
          \r\n
          <em>“We are delighted to have sold our business to LBO France, and we are convinced that, thanks to the fund’s international profile, the company will further strengthen and continue his growth path started with us in 2013. Since then, Gradiente has been working with the business owners to create value, developing the company via investments in new projects, through organic development, and diversification in new countries,”</em> declared <strong>Pietro Busnardo, Deputy Chairman of Gradiente SGR.</strong>\r\n
          \r\n
          LBO France was advised by Studio Legale NCTM on legal and tax aspects of the deal, by LEK on commercial due diligence and by Deloitte on financial due diligence. Gradiente was assisted by Vitale&amp;Co. as financial advisor, by PwC as financial and tax consultant and by Studio Grava for legal aspects. Management was advised by Andrea Citterio for financial aspects and by Dentons on legal matters.\r\n

          <strong>Paris, April 12 th 2017</strong> – LBO France announces that it has entered into exclusive negotiations with Sagard for the acquisition of HMY Group, a leading international group in the design, manufacturing and fitting of retail furniture.\r\n
          \r\n
          Created in 1960, HMY offers a wide range of furniture (shelving systems, checkouts and bespoke) and provides its clients with integrated service solutions, from conception to their installation in the shop. HMY’s clients range from the top food retailers to the leading specialized retailers, which include DIY, gardening, fashion or electric appliance chains. The group has also successfully diversified in offering POS fittings for international consumer brands.\r\n
          \r\n
          Active in almost 80 countries, HMY is the market leader in France and Spain, its historic core markets (70% of turnover) as well as in China and employs 4,000 people around the world. In 2016, the Group generated €485m of sales.\r\n
          \r\n
          Sagard had been a majority shareholder of HMY since January 2005, together with management.\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>Vincent Briançon, partner at LBO France</strong>, said: <em>“Undisputed leader in its historic markets in France and Spain, HMY has become a global player with the support of its shareholders, with in particular a strong presence in China where it is now a leading shopfitter. Strengthened by its unique international coverage, the group has also diversified its activity with POS solutions for global consumer brands, with great successes like the partnership with Adidas. We are delighted to support the management in this new development cycle and should be able to leverage our expertise of the POS and shelving markets, acquired in particular through our past investments in Diam and Averys.” </em>\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>Frédéric Stolar, founding partner at Sagard</strong>, added:<em> “We are proud to have accompanied the successful development and industrial transformation of HMY over more than 10 years. The company is now a global leader with a strong positioning within its key markets. Under the leadership of Ignacio Marin Villamayor, HMY developed a robust product offering targeting the new, highly promising POS market and serving high-profile clients such as Adidas, to which it is a top supplier. Sagard remained a loyal supporter of the management team through sometimes difficult periods, and we are proud of this successful exit with LBO France.”</em>\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>Ignacio Marin Villamayor, CEO of HMY</strong>, concluded: <em>“Thanks to the constant support of Sagard, shareholder of the Group for the past 12 years, HMY has become a world leader in its traditional markets. We are now pleased to have a new shareholder, LBO France, who will actively support the Group in its sectorial and geographical development, especially with acquisitions, in order to reiterate its position as a consolidation platform in the sector. The diversification into areas such as new technologies and lighting will position HMY as the leader in retail innovation.” </em>\r\n

          <strong>Paris, 24 March 2017</strong> – LBO France has announced that it has entered into exclusive negotiations for the sale of CHRYSO, one of the four main global specialty chemicals groups for construction materials. The sale of CHRYSO would be the first for the LBO France White Knight IX fund.\r\n
          \r\n
          CHRYSO is a leading international producer of additives and admixtures which improve the performance of concrete and cement, and construction systems for the repair and maintenance of buildings. Additives and admixtures are used in concrete and cement in order to improve properties such as ease of handling, setting/dying time, fluidity and resistance to mechanical damage. Formulations are manufactured for use in concrete repair, flooring, adhesives and waterproofing.\r\n
          \r\n
          LBO France acquired CHRYSO in 2014 as a subsidiary of the Materis group, of which LBO France had been the majority shareholder between November 2003 and May 2006, allowing it to become independent. With a turnover of more than 300 million euros in 2016, today CHRYSO is a French construction materials champion on an international scale, known for its high capacity for innovation. The Group, with a footprint in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia and the United States, operates in more than 100 countries worldwide. CHRYSO today has 29 manufacturing facilities and four R&amp;D centres, employing around 1,130 people worldwide.\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>Robert Daussun, CEO of LBO France</strong> said <em>“Alongside the CHRYSO management team, we have proudly achieved three objectives in less than three years: we transformed a subsidiary of the Materis group into an independent, fully-fledged player on a very competitive global market; we accelerated the group’s international development, in particular in the Middle East, India and Asia; and right up until today, the date of sale, we have preserved the group’s independence in the face of huge competition, now by choosing a new financial shareholder which will ensure the integrity of the group and its manufacturing base and will be committed to supporting its future growth.” </em>\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>Thomas Boulman, Partner at LBO France,</strong> added: <em>“CHRYSO has increased its EBITDA by nearly 50% in less than three years. That was no accident. The technical quality of its products and the power of its R&amp;D had a lot to do with it. The geographic choices which were made for its international development and the emphasis placed on acquisitions in growth regions are also part of the explanation. It’s because of this that we are delighted to have been able to provide the company with technical assistance and essential financing.”</em>\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong> Thierry Bernard, Chairman and CEO of CHRYSO Group</strong>, concluded: <em>“Over the last three years we have leveraged the experience and know-how of the LBO France teams to move through a major stage in our history, and we are very pleased to be able to maintain our autonomy and independence with a new shareholder.” </em>\r\n
          \r\n
          The CHRYSO works council will be consulted on the transaction, which will be subject to the customary regulatory approvals.\r\n
          \r\n
          LBO France is being advised on the transaction by Laurent Baril (Rothschild &amp; Cie), François Vigne (Sycomore Corporate Finance), Xavier Jaspar (Mayer Brown).\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>About LBO France </strong>\r\n

          As a key player in private equity with €3.6bn of capital under management, LBO France is an independent company that has been supporting French companies in their growth for more than 30 years. Its strategy is based on four investment approaches in non-listed companies, managed by dedicated teams: (i) Mid Cap buyout through the White Knight funds and Small Cap buyout through the Hexagone funds, (ii) Innovation-Capital through the Innovation Capital funds, (iii) Real Estate through the White Stone and Lapillus funds, (iv) Debt.

          <strong>Paris, 1 March 2017</strong> – LBO France has signed a 12-year firm lease with Groupama for its entire WEST PARK office building, before completion of the undergoing restructuring of the property.\r\n
          \r\n
          Located along the Terrasses de l’Arche in Nanterre, next to Nanterre Préfecture station on the RER A commuter line, WEST PARK is an office building of around 20,000 sqm. Arranged around a landscaped patio, the complex offers its future users a prime location on the green corridor now connecting the Terrasses to La Défense, the main business centre of Western Paris.\r\n
          \r\n
          WEST PARK is one of the five buildings on the future 55,000 sqm campus where Groupama plans to bring together 3,200 of its employees by the end of 2017.\r\n
          \r\n
          LBO France acquired WEST PARK (vacated by EDF in 2014) in mid-2015 and, with the help of the developer LINKCITY and the global player Bouygues Construction IDF, is currently leading a programme to fully restructure the building which is expected to be delivered at the end of 2017. This new complex reflects a firmly ecological and responsible approach and boasts dual environmental certification (NF Bâtiment Tertiaire Démarche HQE and BREEAM “Very Good”) and an “Excellent”-level BBC Effinergie label, perfectly illustrating the effectiveness of LBO France’s ESG initiatives and commitments, such as the signing of the energy efficiency charter for private and public tertiary buildings last October.\r\n
          \r\n
          - - -\r\n
          \r\n
          As part of the project to market the property, led by SAVILLS France (Bertrand RENAUDEAU d’ARC) mandated on a co-exclusive basis with BNP Paribas Real Estate, LBO France (Stéphanie CASCIOLA and Julien ROUILLON) was advised by the law firm BG2V (Quentin LEROUX), as well as by the firm ROM (Hervé ROUX) on the technical and project management aspects of the restructuring process. Groupama Immobilier (Eric DONNET, Laetitia GEORGE and Bruno CARDOSO da COSTA) was advised by the law firm ALLEN &amp; OVERY (Jean-Dominique CASALTA) and by PARELLA (Olivier NEUMAN and Stéphane DINGOYAN).\r\n

          Cambridge, MA and Paris, France – <strong>December 6th , 2016</strong> – Voluntis, a company pioneering therapeutic companion software that empowers patients to self-manage chronic diseases, has received FDA 510(k) clearance, as well as the CE Mark, for Insulia®. This first-in-class global digital solution supports the effective management of type 2 adult diabetes patients treated with basal insulin.\r\n
          \r\n
          Diabetes is a chronic condition characterized by high blood sugar levels that stem from inappropriate production or use of insulin. Nearly 30 million Americans and 400 million people worldwide have diabetes. Ninety percent of these individuals have type 2 diabetes and are often treated with basal insulin. Despite being provided with effective medications, more than half of them do not meet the recommended targets for glycemic control. Major contributing factors include challenges with insulin initiation and titration. Owing to the complications associated with diabetes, its total annual cost in the US amounts to $300 billion. Optimizing adherence to diabetes medications is recognized as one of the most effective ways of controlling disease expenditures. The cost saving opportunity in the U.S is estimated to be $4,6901 per patient per year.\r\n
          \r\n
          Insulia® Diabetes Management Companion is a prescription-only medical device that provides patients with insulin dose recommendations and educational coaching messages in response to blood glucose values and other diabetes-related data. Insulia® supports a wide variety of treatment plan configurations and evidence-based insulin adjustment rules used in routine clinical practice. First the clinician sets up a personalized treatment plan based on the patient’s profile, insulin prescription and blood glucose targets. This enables Insulia® to provide automated insulin dosing recommendations to the patient. The dose adjustment algorithm is embedded in the application, and is accessible to the patient via a web portal or via iOS and Android smartphones and tablets. The patient data is automatically shared with the health care team, who can remotely monitor the patient’s progress toward their goal thanks to tailored notifications. This enables providers to deliver highly personalized telemedicine services, a practice increasingly supported by payers worldwide.\r\n

          \r\n
          <em> “Type 2 diabetes is a complex condition, especially for people who have transitioned to insulin therapy. Indeed, self-monitoring blood glucose and self-managing insulin doses is cumbersome and challenging for a majority of patients. As a result, harnessing new and reliable technologies to support patients in safely managing insulin dosing while keeping in touch with healthcare team could be well received by provider and patient communities”</em> said <strong>Ananda Basu, MBBS, MD, Endocrinologist, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN. </strong>\r\n
          \r\n
          <em>“To make a meaningful impact on patients’ daily lives as well as clinical outcomes, we need to use intelligent digital solutions that go beyond data sharing between patients and clinicians. This is what CERITD and Voluntis have been working on together for more than 10 years, designing and evaluating software that provides automated recommendations and clinical decision support to take diabetes care management to the next level.”</em> said <strong>Guillaume Charpentier, MD, Endocrinologist, President of CERITD (Research Center for the Intensification of Diabetes Treatment). </strong>\r\n
          \r\n
          <em>“With companion software, we seek to contribute to the transition to value-based care, by improving quality of care and optimizing the cost of managing chronic diseases.” said Pierre Leurent, Voluntis’ Founder and CEO. “This simultaneous regulatory clearance of Insulia®, both in the USA and in Europe, is a unique achievement in digital health and the culmination of many years of hard work. We look forward to working hand in hand with providers and payers, as well as our business partners, to make this innovative solution widely available to patients across the globe”. </em>\r\n
          \r\n
          Insulia® will be available to patients and healthcare providers in the first half of 2017.\r\n

          The Bel Group and MOM Group's management team on July 29, 2016 agreed in writing to undertake exclusive negotiations with LBO France to acquire the MOM Group. Under the proposed deal, the Bel Group would take a majority interest in MOM, with MOM's current management remaining as a shareholder.\r\n
          \r\n
          With brands The Laughing Cow®, Kiri®, Mini Babybel®, Leerdammer®, and Boursin®, Bel is the world leader in single-serving cheese portions, delivering consumer products that are synonymous with quality, convenience and healthy eating pleasure. For over 150 years, the Bel Group has built on its industrial knowhow, its daring marketing campaigns and its range of unique products to grow internationally, today selling its brands in nearly 130 countries.\r\n
          \r\n
          The MOM Group, majority owned by LBO France since 2010, has achieved unequalled business growth in France and the United States. While building on its historical Materne® and Mont Blanc® brands sold in France, the MOM Group created the fruit squeezers category and developed strong leadership positions with its Pom'Potes® and GoGosqueeZ® brands in both France and the United States. Over the past five years, MOM has doubled in size, achieving sales of €362 million in 2015. The company employs 1,300 people and owns four production sites, including two in France and two in the United States. It aims to use its industrial knowhow and capacity for innovation to gain international leadership positions through its brands.\r\n
          \r\n
          The deal would enable Bel and MOM to fashion together a major global player in the healthy snacks segment, founded on strong and innovative brands, and very highly complementary product ranges and territories.\r\n
          \r\n
          The deal will be submitted to both companies' labor-representation bodies for consultation and to the competent competition authorities for approval. It will also be subject to the usual closing conditions, with a view to completing the transaction by the end of 2016. The acquisition would be financed by Bel's own financial resources and by issuing additional debt without undermining Bel's financial health.\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>Antoine Fiévet, Fromageries Bel Chairman and CEO</strong>, said, <em>"This deal alongside MOM Group's management represents an historic opportunity for Bel to accelerate the building of a major player in single-serving healthy snack portions, in step with the Group's strategic ambitions. The perfectly complementary nature of the product ranges is ideal for meeting growing consumer expectations and the nutritional challenges facing many, many countries. Focusing the teams on a limited number of brands with strong international potential, and combining the industrial expertise and innovative capabilities of Bel and MOM creates an extraordinary foundation for growth."</em>\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong> Press release Michel Larroche, MOM Group CEO</strong>, said, <em>"For MOM, a partnership with Bel offers a unique opportunity to accelerate the growth of our healthy, fruit and dairy snack brands, by leaning on the Bel Group's extraordinary international reach. Our partnership with Bel will help create a French headquartered, healthy snack-food company that will be uniquely positioned and supported by international brands. I thank and applaud LBO France, as well as the MOM Group employees who have greatly contributed to double our company's size over the past five years and helped build strong brands, notably in France and the United States. I am pleased to have the opportunity to further accelerate our growth in partnership with Bel's teams." </em>\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>Robert Daussun, LBO France CEO</strong>, commented, "<em>It's a financial, strategic and economic slamdunk. The French leader five years ago has become an international player and can now legitimately aim to become a global leader. We gave MOM the means to develop in the United States, and the choice that we have made today to couple it with a global player in the cheese industry is a decisive strategic step. MOM will have the human resources and the local avenues needed to accelerate its growth, with the new group becoming the flagship French company in the global snack food sector."</em>\r\n
          \r\n
          The Bel Group was advised by Messier Maris &amp; Associés in M&amp;A and by Cleary Gottlieb in legal affairs.\r\n

          MOM and its management were advised by Sycomore Corporate Finance in M&amp;A and by Opleo Avocats in legal affairs. LBO France was advised by Mayer Brown in legal affairs.\r\n

          The Bel Group and the MOM Group’s management team on October 20, 2016 signed an agreement with LBO France to acquire the MOM Group. Under the agreement, Bel will become MOM’s majority shareholder with 65% of ordinary shares, while MOM’s management will hold the remaining 35% of ordinary shares. The management team that has led MOM’s development will remain a shareholder. Michel Larroche will continue as MOM’s CEO.\r\n
          \r\n
          The MOM Group, majority owned by LBO France since 2010, has achieved unrivaled business growth in France and the United States. While building on its historical Materne® and Mont Blanc® brands sold in France, the MOM Group created the fruit squeezers category and developed strong leadership positions with its Pom’Potes® brand in France and its GoGo squeeZ® brand in the United States.\r\n
          \r\n
          Over the past five years, MOM has doubled in size, achieving sales of €362 million in 2015. The company employs 1,300 people and owns four production sites, including two in France and two in the United States. The transaction will enable Bel to create a major global player in the healthy snacks segment. It provides a unique opportunity for MOM to accelerate its growth supported by Bel’s international presence. Both Bel and MOM have built their identities on strong and innovative brands, and both companies plan to harness the complementarity of their product ranges, territories and industrial knowhow to establish their leadership internationally.\r\n
          \r\n
          Following exclusive talks entered into on July 29, Bel and MOM won unanimous approval for the planned transaction from the labor-representation bodies of both companies. Completion of the deal remains subject to the approval of French and U.S. competition authorities, who are expected to rule by the end of the year.\r\n
          \r\n
          The deal values the MOM Group at €850 million. The transaction will be financed by Bel’s own financial resources and a €500-million debt issue. The Bel Group’s financial position will remain strong upon completion of that operation.\r\n
          \r\n
          A liquidity agreement will allow Bel to acquire 100% of MOM’s share capital by April 2022.\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong>Antoine Fiévet, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer</strong>, said, <em>“I’m delighted that we have achieved this new step. This transaction alongside the MOM Group managers represents a historical opportunity for Bel to assert its leadership as a major player in the healthy snacks segment, in line with the directions that we have set for the coming years. At MOM, as at Bel, the strategic relevance of the deal and the range of growth opportunities it creates are clear to everyone. We are all very eager to begin our collaboration and to launch this new growth phase, which is very exciting for all the teams.”</em>\r\n
          \r\n
          <strong> Michel Larroche, MOM Group CEO</strong>, said, <em>“For MOM, this partnership with Bel offers a unique opportunity to accelerate the growth of our healthy, fruit and dairy snack brands by leaning on the Bel Group’s extraordinary international reach. Our partnership with Bel will help create a global, healthy snack-food company that is uniquely positioned and supported by strong brands. I thank and applaud LBO France, as well as the MOM Group employees who helped double our company’s size over the past five years and helped build strong brands, notably in France and the United States. I am pleased to have the opportunity to further accelerate our growth in partnership with Bel’s teams.”</em>\r\n
          \r\n
          Robert Daussun, LBO France CEO, said, “LBO France is pleased to see the conclusion of this acquisition, which crowns the impeccable career of a company striking out to conquer international markets. The remarkable success achieved in the U.S. is only a step on MOM’s way to becoming a world leader. At the dawn of this future growth phase, we are particularly pleased to be passing the baton to the Bel Group. With this partnership, MOM will find the natural commercial resources to accelerate its growth, and Bel will definitively be able to assert its ambition as a global player in healthy snacks. LBO France is proud of its contribution to strengthening the French food industry’s international position and reputation for excellence and performance.”\r\n
