Antenia and Leader Informatique are welcoming Pierre Dalmaz as a majority shareholder through his Ebene holding company. Managers and founders Joël Baude and Norbert Fouques retain a minority of the shares. The two managers had appointed Pax Corporate Finance to significantly enhance the company’s financial soundness and, following a competitive process in which investors and industry professionals participated, Pierre Dalmaz offered the winning proposal. The transaction, completed mainly through a capital increase, met all the requirements and resulted in equity rising by €2.8 million. This transaction also simplifies the group’s structure, with Antenia now holding 100% of the capital of its Leader Informatique subsidiary. The investments made by Pierre Dalmaz and the managers will support the development of both these companies, with the goal of tripling consolidated turnover over the next three years to more than 10 million euros.
