Jeantet advises COGELEC and the shareholders of COGELEC DEVELOPPEMENT, majority shareholder of COGELEC, in the context of the proposed acquisition of COGELEC DEVELOPPEMENT by LEGRAND, prior to the filing of a simplified tender offer on COGELEC shares

 

Paris, July 11, 2025 – Jeantet advises Cogelec (a company listed on the Euronext Growth Paris market), French specialist of the housing access control, as well as the shareholders of Cogelec Développement, indirect majority shareholder of Cogelec, in the context of the contemplated acquisition of the Cogelec Développement shares by Legrand (a company listed on the regulated market of Euronext Paris), global specialist in electrical and digital building infrastructures.

Legrand and Cogelec announced, on July 9, 2025, the entry into a put option between Legrand and the shareholders of Cogelec Développement, the majority shareholder of Cogelec jointly controlled by the founders of Cogelec and Raise Investissement, with a view to the acquisition by Legrand France (the “Offeror“), a subsidiary of Legrand, of the Cogelec Développement shares representing an indirect majority stake of 60.09% of the share capital and 78.39% of the voting rights of Cogelec, based on a price of EUR 29 per Cogelec share.

The contemplated transaction values Cogelec at approximately EUR 254 million on a fully diluted basis (excluding treasury shares).

In the event of completion of the acquisition, the Offeror would launch a mandatory simplified public tender offer to acquire the remaining Cogelec shares at a price of EUR 29 per Cogelec share.

In the event that the thresholds allowing it are crossed at the end of the offer, the Offeror would request the implementation of a squeeze-out procedure under the applicable legal and regulatory conditions in order to acquire the remaining Cogelec shares that were not acquired under the offer.

The acquisition of the majority stake and the filing of the offer with the French financial markets authority (Autorité des marchés financiers) are expected to take place in the last quarter of 2025.
