Paris, December, 17th - Patrice Lucas and Eric Scotto signed on December 16, 2021 a put option to purchase all the shares of their reference investor Colam Entreprendre.

Today, Colam Entreprendre is once again supporting the founders' desire for independence in a new evolution of the company's capital.  

ICG Infra, the infrastructure fund of the asset manager ICG, will accompany the founders in this new phase of the company's history, in particular by providing additional financial resources.  

This transaction is subject, in accordance with the applicable laws, to the information and consultation of the competent employee representative bodies, to the customary requisite approvals and closing conditions for this type of transaction.
