PAX Corporate Finance organises the secondary LBO of RC Concept with CM-CIC Investissement, offering an exit to Apax Partners.

RC Concept is recomposing its capital by welcoming CM-CIC Investissement, which takes over from Apax Partners Développement.

Management and the investor have entrusted PAX CF with the task of organising this new stage in the group’s development.
