Jul 11, 2016

Reorganization of Mr Bricolage SA's majority shareholding structure finalized ANPF: leading shareholder with 65.20% of the capital and 73.23% of voting rights

Mr Bricolage SA, which groups independent DIY stores (838 stores in 12 countries, with a 2015 volume of sales incl. taxes of €2.16 billion), has finalized the reorganization of its majority shareholding structure by strengthening the position of its shareholder members.

In line with the plans announced on 2 June 2016, ANPF, the company owned by Mr.Bricolage network member shareholders, has acquired, through SIMB, its fully-owned subsidiary, 2,350,000 Mr Bricolage SA shares from the Tabur family, further strengthening its indirect interest, up from 42.58% to 65.20% of the capital and from 50.01% to 73.23% of the voting rights of Mr Bricolage SA.

This acquisition is based on a price per share of €14.70, representing a total of €34.5 million.

This operation has been financed through equity for €5.7 million, alongside a €28.8 million bank loan taken out by SIMB to cover the balance with Caisse d'Epargne Loire-Centre, appointed as the arranger and agent, as well as Crédit Agricole Centre Loire, Caisse d'Epargne Midi-Pyrénées, Bpifrance Centre, CIC Ouest and BNP Paribas.

This operation will ensure the continued stability of Mr Bricolage SA's shareholding structure, enabling its leadership team to focus exclusively on the Group's operational development.

ANPF has made a commitment to vote at the upcoming general meeting to renew Michel Tabur's directorship for six years; he will retain 3.28% of Mr Bricolage SA's capital in order to continue supporting the Group with its development as a shareholder.
