An MBO vehicle acquires Kompro from Rexel


Amsterdam – CFI is pleased to announce it acted as the exclusive corporate finance advisor to Kompro, in its leveraged management buy-out transaction with Rexel.

Kompro is a document solutions provider of high-end multifunctioning devices and associated software and services from leading brands such as Kyocera, Konica Minolta, Samsung and Invu. Kompro provides midsize businesses a full range of document solutions under operating lease.

Rexel, a global leader in the distribution of electrical supplies, serves three main end markets: industrial, commercial and residential. The group operates in 36 countries, with a network of some 2,200 offices. Rexel is headquartered in Paris, France, and is listed on the Eurolist of Euronext Paris (compartment A).

Rexel acquired the shares in Kompro in 2008 following the acquisition (and subsequent delisting) of Hagemeyer N.V. Kompro has been part of the Hagemeyer group for almost three decades. After the successful integration of Hagemeyer, Rexel considered Kompro as a non-core activity, due to continued focus of the group on the distribution of electrical supplies.

CFI advised the management team on initiating the dialogue with headquarters in France, structuring the transaction, negotiating with the seller and arranging the acquisition financing in a transaction which closed in October 2011.
