Paris, January 24, 2019 – Eurazeo has announced the sale to AXA of its 22% stake in Capzanine,
an independent European management company specializing in private investment.
Since entering Capzanine’s share capital in October 2015, Eurazeo and AXA have helped Capzanine
accelerate its growth in the debt and equity sectors and develop international partnerships.
During this period, Capzanine has significantly expanded its business, increasing assets under
management from €1.1 billion to €2.5 billion.
This transaction is accompanied by the assumption by AXA and other investors of all Eurazeo
commitments in funds managed by Capzanine, excluding an €8 million commitment in Capzanine
Situations Spéciales.
The transaction amount is approximately €82 million. This includes shares in the management
company on which Eurazeo realizes a multiple of just over 3x the initial investment and fund shares
recently subscribed by Eurazeo.
