GSO Capital, Siparex Intermezzo back Omega Group

The founding family Dallard stays on as majority shareholder in the group. 

M Capital entered the group through an expansion round five years ago. After partnering with a regional fund, the owner, Jacques Dellard, was also looking for a financial partner whose coverage was national and European in order to embark on a new growth phase, he said in a statement. Omega intends to complement its operations in Toulouse with an expansion into the Spanish market.

The company is planning to acquire 100 extra beds a year on average, and to open a residence for elderly people in 2017. It also wants to increase the sales of its medical equipment.

According to the incoming GP, Omega has registered 10% year-on-year growth recently and should soon reach the size of a mid-sized business.

Debt
Aside from the mezzanine arrangement provided by Siparex, the transaction was supported by senior debt provided by CA Toulouse 31 and LCL.

Previous funding
In September 2011, M Capital (Midi Capital at the time) provided funding to Omega in the form of equity and convertible bonds via FIP Avantage ISF, and Avantage PME II and III, leading a €3m expansion round.

Company
Established in 1997, Omega is a nursing home management service. Headquartered in Toulouse, it manages 10 nursing and retirement homes and employs 800 people.
