CVC announced that a consortium of funds (the "Consortium") led by CVC Fund VII has agreed to buy the holding company that owns a majority interest in Recordati.
Andrea Recordati, CEO, said: "I believe that this is a great outcome for the company and its employees who will benefit greatly from having CVC as a partner. In the process of finding the best partner to take Recordati forward, it was important to find a party that would allow Recordati to remain independent, with continuity for management and employees, and accelerate its growth strategy as a leading global consolidator in the pharmaceutical industry. I am very pleased to be working alongside CVC in accelerating Recordati's global expansion. I am personally reinvesting alongside the Consortium as I believe in and support Recordati."
The transaction is structured as a fully financed acquisition by the Consortium of the family’s holding company FIMEI S.p.A for an Enterprise Value of €3.03bn. FIMEI owns 51.8% of Recordati S.p.A., implying a 100% equity value for Recordati S.p.A. of €5.86bn, equivalent to €28.00 per share.
