August Debouzy advised the founders of l’Usine, a company operating premium sports clubs in Paris, Brussels and Geneva, on the acquisition, with the support of investment funds managed by two asset management companies, 123 Investment Managers and Sigma Gestion, of all the shares held by Lagardère Sport & Entertainment since 2015.
Alongside the founders, this transaction was funded by several investment funds represented by an asset management company, 123 Investment Managers, co-investing with several investment funds represented by the asset management company Sigma Gestion.
This transaction should enable l’Usine to reach a new milestone in its development, following the opening, in January 2019, of its latest premium sports club of 2,000 square metres within the Saint-Lazare train station in Paris.
