This operation will support Mercialys’
diversification, looking to further strengthen its retail and
services expertise, alongside its real estate know-how
Regulatory News:
Mercialys (Paris:MERY) is today announcing that, alongside
leading real estate operators, it took part in the round of
fundraising carried out by the DEPUR group. This Euro 1.7 million
round of fundraising will be subscribed for by a consortium,
bringing together Bouygues Immobilier, the BPI’s FAST
tourism/leisure fund and Mercialys, which will acquire a major
stake and become the DEPUR group’s leading shareholder, with nearly
23% of its capital.
Its founding manager, Dan Cebula, will continue to hold a
majority interest following this operation.
The funds raised in this way will enable DEPUR to accelerate its
development and further strengthen its expertise around its
activities focused on the conceptualization and execution of major
Food & Beverage & Entertainment (F&B&E) projects.
DEPUR Experiences aims to position itself as the leader on this
high-growth market, combining several food, beverage and
entertainment concepts in one location, with consumers looking for
a complete customer experience, going above and beyond culinary
know-how.
These new resources will enable DEPUR Experiences to bid for the
many tenders that will open up, to execute an already strong order
book under the best conditions and to establish itself as the first
vertically integrated operator specialized in the F&B&E
sector, from design through to operations.
Mercialys, as one of France’s leading retail real estate
companies, needs to be at the forefront of consumer trends in order
to maintain its portfolio’s attractive features and value. Its
participation in the DEPUR Experiences group’s round of fundraising
is perfectly in line with this approach and Mercialys wants to help
drive this company’s development around a buoyant service-focused
positioning.
On this operation, Mercialys was supported by Advance Capital
for the financial aspects and by Levine Keszler for the legal,
corporate, tax and social aspects.
