Andera carves out Ingenico's health business
Andera Partners has acquired, alongside managers David Levy and Laurent Maitre, the health activities of listed France-based Ingenico, a payment services and technology provider.
The GP invested via its Cabestan Capital 2 fund, which closed in September 2016 on €165m. The deal represents the 12th transaction for the vehicle and its second carve-out. The division will be rebranded to Olaqin following the deal.
A pool of banks led by Caisse d'Epargne Ile-de-France and BNP Paribas provided debt for the transaction. The leverage level remains moderate, according to a statement by Andera.
Founded in 1980 and based in Paris, fintech business Ingenico provides the technology involved in secure electronic transactions. It has been listed on the Paris stock exchange since 1985. The company generated a €2.6bn turnover and posted a €488m EBITDA in 2018.
