Catalunya Banc has come to an agreement with French fund Salvepar, advised by ONEtoONE Corporate Finance, which last year raised €130 million for new investment and minority stakes in mid-market firms, planning its first transactions in Spain. The fund belonged to Société Générale but was sold to another French fund Tikehau in 2012. SALVEPAR is an investment company listed on the NYSE Euronext Paris (stock exchange symbol SY). SALVEPAR aims at supporting SMEs in order to strengthen the stability of their shareholder base and to accelerate growth. SALVEPAR’s purpose is to take minority shareholdings in listed or unlisted companies, with priority given to companies in a growth phase with international development projects.
