One Equity Partners (OEP): Sole Bookrunner in a EUR 72m Faurecia Accelerated Bookbuilding (ABB)

SG acted for US private equity fund, One Equity Partners (OEP) as Sole Bookrunner in a EUR 72M Faurecia Accelerated Bookbuilding (ABB) executed on 9th March 2010., The disposal by One Equity Partners of 4.8% of Faurecia share capital represents about 13 trading days and 20% of Faurecia's free float. The deal was priced at mid-terms with a 5% discount versus the closing price of the day and was placed with more than 50 institutional investors in the UK, US and Continental Europe., The transaction comes shortly after the closing on February 8th 2010 of the contribution by OEP of Emcon Technologies in exchange for 20.9m new Faurecia shares (or 19% of Faurecia capital) and represents about 25% of OEP stake in Faurecia. After the transaction, OEP still owns 13% of Faurecia share capital., Although SG CIB enjoyed a longstanding relationship with OEP and its key partners, this is the first transaction booked by SG CIB with them. After the EUR 455M rights issue completed in May 2009 and the EUR 211M OCEANE issued in November 2009, this offering is also the third equity capital markets transaction lead by SG on Faurecia shares over the last 12 months.
