Press release
Paris, 29 June 2018
Rothschild & Co and Edmond de Rothschild announce the signing of an overall
agreement
In keeping with the family values, "Concordia, Industria and Integritas",
Rothschild & Co and Edmond de Rothschild have reached an agreement on the use
of their respective brands in order to continue growing their businesses and
their customers.
As part of this agreement, the Edmond de Rothschild Group will continue to
develop its business under the Edmond de Rothschild brand. The Rothschild & Co
Group will use the name Rothschild & Co, adopted as a company name since 2015.
Rothschild Martin Maurel will be used to identify the private banking and asset
management activities of Rothschild & Co from France, Belgium and Monaco.
Neither group may use the name Rothschild on its own in any form whatsoever in
the future.
The two groups have also agreed to work together to protect the family name in
the banking sector. They are thereby putting a definitive end to the litigation
between them, before the Tribunal de Grande Instance in Paris.
In addition, the two groups will unwind all of their cross-shareholdings.
