This is the third transaction inked by Capza 5 Flex Equity fund, which held a €450m first close in June 2020. The fund targets mid-market companies generating revenues of up to €150m, based across France, Spain, Italy and Germany. It offers flexible financing by combining majority capital, minority capital, subordinated debt and senior debt, with a tailor-made approach adapted to the company's project.
