MBO+, an independent asset management company specialized in private equity investments in French SMEs and ETIs valued between €20 million and €200 million, marks a milestone in its development by transferring control of its capital to all of its teams. 

On April 11, 2025, MBO+ announces the completion of an employee buyout, a key step in the implementation of its strategic plan.   

In June 2024, founding partner Eric Dejoie passed the torch to Xavier de Prévoisin, who was then appointed Chairman of the Board of Directors, and became Chairman of the Supervisory Board. This management transition continued in September with the creation of a new Board of Directors composed of two Managing Directors: Pauline Cornu-Thenard and Olivier Delrieu. At the same time, Richard Broche, also a founding partner, announced his departure. 

At the same time, MBO+ underwent an operational transformation and streamlined its investment offering around three complementary strategies: MBO Buyout, MBO Buy & Build and MBO Flex. 

The implementation of the strategic plan continues today with this major capital transition, made possible by the sale of the last two founders’ shares to the MBO+ teams. Following this operation, 80% of the capital is now held by all employees. Ofi Invest, the historical shareholder, retains 20% of the capital, demonstrating its support for the strategic project.  

This development is in line with the current dynamic of sharing value creation with all employees and allows the teams to unite around a common project that will be embodied by the launch of the MBO Buyout 6 fund in 2026. 

“I’m very pleased to see this new chapter in our history begin, as it reflects our shared ambition and sets MBO+ on a new path of growth. By becoming shareholders of MBO+, our teams are doing more than supporting entrepreneurial projects — they are entrepreneurs themselves! It’s a profound transformation, one that strengthens our performance for investors and brings us even closer to the business leaders we support every day.” Xavier de Prévoisin, Chairman of MBO+.
