Squair advises Zencap Asset Management in connection with the financing of the acquisition of Décors & Cie by MatchEvent

Squair assisted Zencap Asset Management in the context of the unitranche financing of the acquisition of Décors & Cie by MatchEvent.

‍

MatchEvent offers a “one-stop-shop” offer including the supply of audiovisual equipment, the tailor-made design of stands and layouts, as well as the executive production of events, whether physical or digital. MatchEvent, which joined forces with the Dzeta family office last January, thus confirms its ambition for rapid 360-degree development, of which the acquisition of Décors & Cie is the first step.

‍

Founded in 2000 by Pierre Bailly, Décors & Cie designs, manufactures and installs decorations on behalf of event agencies and corporate clients as part of conventions, trade shows or all types of B2B events in France and abroad.

Zencap Asset Management, a subsidiary of the OFI Invest group, the asset management division of Aéma Groupe, is a management company specialized in unlisted debt and committed to responsible investment. Since 2009, Zencap has been active on a wide variety of solutions for financing real estate assets, infrastructures and small or mid-captBD companies. As of December 31, 2023, Zencap had a total of nearly 4 billion euros in assets committed to management and advisory mandates. In line with its climate strategy, and like all financing from its unitranche fund ZDL4, this financing is an SLB (Sustainability Linked Bond) that integrates environmental (decarbonization) and social performance objectives.
