Press Release
"POWER BETTER GROWTH"
A NEW BRAND FOR A NEW AMBITION
Paris, April 28, 2021
Eurazeo's Combined Shareholders' Meeting took place today behind closed doors
and was livestreamed on the Company's website. In the meeting, shareholders
approved the 18 resolutions proposed, including the payment of a dividend of
EUR1.50 per share.
The Shareholders' Meeting capped off the 2020 financial year, which clearly
showed the solid foundations and success of Eurazeo's strategy. In 2020, the
Group's assets under management rose 16% to almost EUR22 billion, including
record fundraising of EUR2.9 billion. NAV per share rose 6.3% to end the year
at EUR85.4 after a 21% rebound in the second half.
In the Shareholders' Meeting, the Group announced its plan to bring all of its
private equity, private debt and real assets activities - until now carried out
by Eurazeo and Idinvest Partners - under the single Eurazeo brand.
A new logo has been devised to accompany the new brand architecture.
Power Better Growth is the purpose of Eurazeo, which was unveiled during the
Shareholders' Meeting and embodies both the Group's business model and its
ambition.
It represents the business model of a Group that multiplies, diversifies and
mobilizes its resources in support of entrepreneurial projects, while creating
value and ensuring that the interests of its shareholders are fully aligned
with those of its private investors.
It also represents the Group's ambition to foster meaningful growth, as
exemplified by Eurazeo's commitment to ESG through O+, the most ambitious ESG
strategy in its sector, which it launched in September 2020. With O+, Eurazeo
has undertaken to reach carbon net neutrality by 2040, and to act in favor of a
more inclusive society. O+ also confirms Eurazeo's status as a leading player
in ESG, which it regards as a genuine driver of financial returns and
sustainable growth.
Eurazeo will continue to anticipate future sources of growth through its
investment choices in promising sectors, such as those it has already made in
the technology, healthcare and sustainable infrastructure industries. Eurazeo
also intends to continue its international expansion and in particular to
extend its footprint in Europe, achieve faster growth in the United States and
capitalize on strong momentum in the Asian market.
