Omnes Capital supports Exclusive Networks in its acquisition programme

Omnes Capital is supporting Exclusive Networks in the implementation of the financing of its three-year strategic plan.

                                                                
Exclusive Networks now has sufficient resources to complete its acquisition programme for 2013 and 2014 which should allow the group to reach a EUR1bn turnover in 2018. Omnes Capital is investing EUR6.7m.
 
Based in Boulogne-Billancourt (France), the Exclusive Networks group is an independent value-added distributor (VAD) specialising in the marketing of security, storage and networking solutions for businesses, with a 2013 expected turnover of EUR300m before build-up.
 
Omnes Capital acquired a stake in the company in July 2010 during a primary LBO and owns 69 per cent alongside the chief executive officer, key managers, Edmond de Rothschild Investment Partners and Socadif. Since 2010, the company has experienced a strong development of its activity with both internal growth and acquisitions, especially in the UK (Vadition), Germany (TLK) and Norway (Trygg Data).
 
With a presence in 14 countries, the group tripled its turnover since 2010. The company’s management is looking to pursue its development strategy by external growth with an acquisition programme of EUR200m of turnover in 2013 and 2014.
 
Olivier Breittmayer, chairman and chief executive of the Exclusive Networks Group, says: “It is a very important step for the group because we now have the resources we need to serve our ambition. Our satisfaction is double, first because existing shareholders adhered to our strategic plan and accepted to support us financially, and second because ICG joined us on this project, replacing the exiting bank pool and bringing us the resources as well as the flexibility and dynamism we need to complete this ambitious project.”
                                
Philippe Zurawski, partner, Omnes Capital, says: “Following the outstanding track-record of the company since 2010, we have chosen to provide it with sufficient financing to allow it to reach a EUR1bn turnover in 2018.”
