Peugeot Invest successfully completes the sale of 5,8% of LISI’s share capital
Peugeot Invest today announced the successful sale of 2,700,000 LISI shares, representing 5.8% of the company’s share capital1. The placement was carried out through an accelerated bookbuilding process reserved for institutional investors, at a price of €39 per share, for a total amount of approximately 105 million euros (the “Transaction”).
Since 1977, companies within the Peugeot family group have been shareholders of LISI. Over this period, LISI has experienced sustained growth, driven in particular by the expansion of the aerospace sector. In 2023, Peugeot Invest actively contributed to the reorganisation of LISI’s shareholding structure, helping to secure the long-term control of the founding Kohler and Viellard families over the group.
In line with its commitments, Peugeot Invest began a gradual withdrawal from the company in 2024 and now holds less than 5% of LISI’s share capital. Following this Transaction, Peugeot Invest will resign from LISI’s Board of Directors. Over nearly 50 years, Peugeot Invest’s investment in LISI has delivered an internal rate of return (IRR) of +10%.
Jean-Charles Douin, Chief Executive Officer of Peugeot Invest, commented: “We are proud to have supported the long-term development of LISI and its management team. The group is now a market leader and is delivering record commercial performance. This Transaction once again demonstrates our ability to crystallise value by seizing favourable market windows, even in volatile conditions, while refocusing on the sectors at the heart of our investment strategy”.
As part of this transaction, Peugeot Invest has committed to a 120-day lock-up period following the settlement and delivery of the Placement of the shares, subject to customary exceptions.
Natixis and Société Générale acted as Joint Global Coordinators and Joint Bookrunners for the Trans-action.
Settlement and delivery of the shares is expected to take place on 8 September 2025.
