- Großes Interesse der Investoren
- Preis von 33 Euro je Aktie
- Platzierungsvolumen von 0,8 Mrd. Euro inkl. Mehrzuteilungsoption
- Bertelsmann bleibt strategischer Aktionär von Majorel

Das globale Customer-Experience-Unternehmen Majorel bringt im Zuge einer
Privatplatzierung an der Euronext Amsterdam 23 Millionen existierende Aktien in
den Handel, darin enthalten sind 3 Millionen Aktien aus der
Mehrzuteilungsoption. Der Preis liegt bei 33 Euro pro Aktie. Majorel ist ein
Venture von Bertelsmann und der Saham Group.

Thomas Rabe, Vorstandsvorsitzender von Bertelsmann, sagte: "Ich freue mich über
die erfolgreiche Privatplatzierung von Majorel. Das große Interesse der
Investoren und die anfängliche Bewertung des Unternehmens mit 3,3 Mrd. Euro sind
Belege für die überzeugende Wachstumsstory von Majorel unter der Führung von
Thomas Mackenbrock."

Bertelsmann wird nach der Platzierung 38,1 Prozent der Aktien von Majorel halten
(39,6 Prozent ohne Mehrzuteilungsoption) und damit neben der Saham Group
wichtiger strategischer Aktionär bleiben. Das Unternehmen wird weiterhin bei
Bertelsmann konsolidiert. Durch die Privatplatzierung fließen Bertelsmann inkl.
der Mehrzuteilungsoption Mittel in Höhe von 380 Mio. Euro zu.

Anfang September hatte Majorel seine Absicht bekanntgegeben, sich durch eine
Privatplatzierung für den Kapitalmarkt zu öffnen. Majorel ist in 31 Ländern
auf
fünf Kontinenten aktiv und beschäftigt mehr als 63.000 Mitarbeitende. Majorel
erbringt Dienstleistungen für weltweit mehr als 400 Kunden, darunter mehrere
globale Tech-Unternehmen.
