Natixis Partners advised the Management and Crédit Mutuel Equity in the sale of a minority stake of NGE to Montefiore

Natixis Partners advised the shareholders of Groupe NGE in the context of the reorganization of its capital, with the exit of Crédit Mutuel Equity after 10 years as a shareholder and the entry of Montefiore Investment as a minority shareholder. Following this operation, the founders, managers, and employees of NGE will own 72% of the company and Montefiore Investment the remaining 28%. Founded in 2002, NGE has 20 years of growth and experience in the construction and public contracting markets as a construction company and concession operator. With 14,500 employees in 18 countries, and annual revenue of €2.4 billion in 2020, the Group is France’s fourth-largest construction and civil engineering company. Its broad customer base includes national governments, local authorities and private project owners, and the Group has recently won a series of significant contracts for optical fiber networks (Liverpool), underground projects (TELT, the Lyon-Turin Euralpine Tunnel) and concessions (sole concession holder for the A69 motorway in France). The entry of Montefiore Investment as an equity investor gives NGE the appropriate resources to accelerate its development, seize new growth opportunities, and further strengthen its longstanding commitment to social and environmental issues.
