(CercleFinance.com) - Eurazeo has entered into exclusive discussions with a consortium led by La financière de Blacailloux, a holding company owned by the Chamoin family, with a view to selling Albingia, a leading player in France in the field of corporate risk insurance.


Under the terms of the agreement, Eurazeo would sell its entire 70% stake in Albingia, for a yield - including dividends - of 2.2x cash-on-cash.

On completion of the transaction, approximately €289 million in proceeds would return to Eurazeo's balance sheet.
