Euraleo: partnership of peers between GBL and Eurazeo

GBL carries out private equity activities through Eurazeo, a partnership of peers between GBL and Eurazeo.

Eurazeo is a French investment holding with a market cap above Euro 4 billion with a portfolio of majority and minority stakes, in the latter case able to ensure strong influence on decision-making processes, equally divided between listed and non-listed companies.

Euraleo was set up with the purpose to join Eurazeo's international experience with GBL's in-depth market knowledge of the Italian industrial texture. The activity is carried out by a small group of professionals with a qualified experience in private equity and M&A deals.

Euraleo's objective is to acquire controlling stakes, or however to get such stakes as to influence decision-making processes, in especially promising and dynamic Italian companies, characterized by high-quality shareholders and/or management, as well as with a strong profitability and cash-flow generation.

The search for new investment opportunities is carried out with continuity by Euraleo's management on the basis of the principle that greater speed than the rest of the market in identifying target companies is one of the decisive factors for best-investment selection and the success thereof.

When selecting and assessing the investment in terms of potential growth and business plan capacity, special attention is also focused on the management's characteristics, by identifying the most appropriate forms of incentive to boost performance.
