PRESS RELEASE
COMBINED SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING OF APRIL 25, 2018
Paris, April 25, 2018 - Eurazeo's Combined Shareholders' Meeting was held today
in Paris. All forty-three resolutions presented were approved.
This Shareholders' Meeting closes a year of major transformations for Eurazeo:
* Change in share ownership with the Decaux family's investment in Eurazeo;
* Change in governance with the appointment of a new Executive Board, chaired
by Virginie Morgon, and an expanded Executive Committee;
* Acquisition of a 70% stake in Idinvest, a leader in venture & growth capital,
private debt and dedicated portfolios & funds in France and Europe;
* Strategic partnership with Rhône, a major market and transatlantic player;
* Birth of a new investment division, Eurazeo Brands, dedicated to
high-potential brands.
Activity was also brisk over these last twelve months, with the acquisition of
nine new companies and partial or total divestments of eight companies.
The 2018 Shareholders' Meeting thus coincides with a key moment in Eurazeo's
development. The goal is to become a leading partner to entrepreneurs and
management teams, by bolstering our presence in all segments of business
financing and driving their transformation.

former CEO of Eurazeo and Mrs. Oudéa-Castera, former Chief Marketing & Digital
