August Debouzy advises Clariane on its exit from VivaSon and the shareholding reorganisation of the hearing care brand
Communiqué M&A | 01/06/26 | 1 min. | Julien Wagmann François Richard
August Debouzy advised Clariane in connection with the sale of its minority stake in VivaSon Group, an independent French hearing care brand.
This transaction forms part of the reorganisation of VivaSon’s shareholding structure, with the strengthening of the founding family’s position and the entry of Indigo Capital alongside management.
Clariane is the leading European care community in times of vulnerability. It operates in six countries: Germany, Belgium, Spain, France, Italy and the Netherlands. Drawing on their diverse expertise, the Group’s 70,000 employees support more than 840,000 residents and patients each year across two main areas of activity: care for older people and those in vulnerable situations, through its networks of nursing homes and alternative housing solutions (Korian, Âges & Vie, Rosorum, etc.), and specialised care, including medical and rehabilitation care as well as mental health services (Inicea, Kormed, Iterias, Grupo 5, etc.).
Clariane is a "société à mission" under French law, with a purpose common to all its activities: “Caring for each person’s humanity in times of vulnerability.”
Clariane has been listed on Euronext Paris, Compartment B, since November 2006. The Group joined the SBF 120 index and the CAC® SBT 1.5° index on 23 September 2024.
The August Debouzy team advising Clariane was composed of Julien Wagmann (partner) and François Richard (senior associate) on the transactional aspects of the operation.
