B&S completes acquisition of a Beauty company in France.

Mensdorf, Luxembourg – May 12, 2022

B&S Group S.A. ("B&S"), tech-company in the consumer goods industry, today announces it has successfully completed the acquisition of 70% of a French based Beauty company ("the company"). The agreement on the acquisition was announced by B&S in its press release of April 8, 2022.

The company services consumers via closed online platforms (members only), via its B2C webshop and via its physical stores throughout France, fitting perfectly with B&S' existing online and physical direct-to-consumer channels. The network of brands that the company partners with is a strategically strong addition to the existing B&S Beauty network, providing direct access to brand owners in the premium beauty segment. In 2021, the company reported a turnover of roughly € 33 million and an EBITDA of € 2.5 million.

To further reinforce the alignment of all B&S Beauty activities, the operations of the company are being integrated into the B&S backbone. The current management of the company remains on board with an initial minority stake of 30% to foster entrepreneurship and co-ownership, with an option for B&S to buy an additional 15% in three years.

This press release contains information within the meaning of Article 7(1) of the Market Abuse Regulation.
