Paris, 4 November 2024

Darrois Villey Maillot Brochier has advised Ocean Peak Capital on the acquisition of the Moret Industries group and the renegotiation of its financial debt.

Moret Industries is a global leader in the agro-industrial sector, with a particular focus on the development of industrial processes in the sugar, alcohol, industrial drying and environmental sectors. The company employs over 800 individuals across the globe, with nearly 280 based in Charmes (Hauts-de-France).

On 18 October 2024, Moret Industries completed the restructuring of its financial debt, which was accompanied by a change of control transaction in favour of a pool of investors led by Ocean Peak Capital.

This transaction forms part of the implementation of a conciliation protocol. It ensures that the Group’s financial debt is brought into line with its financial prospects, while maintaining the Group’s core businesses and workforce.

The Darrois team includes François Kopf (partner), Colin Marvaud (counsel) and Martin Lodéon for the restructuring and financing aspects, Pierre Zejma and Armand Centauri for the corporate aspects and Loïc Védie (partner) and Bryan Costa for the tax aspects.
