"The first half of 2017 will remain a high point in our company's development. We continued to accelerate all our vital forces at work for Eurazeo. We rotated our portfolio, continued fundraising with PME III and performed transformational build-ups for our companies, including Elis, Europcar or Novacap. We also completed our first U.S. investment during this period, less than one year after opening our New York office. We expanded our investment opportunities with the creation of Eurazeo Brands, a new investment division dedicated to brands with high global potential. Lastly, major capital movements marked the first half of 2017, including the arrival of a new reference shareholder. Our long-time family shareholders were joined by the Decaux family, with whom we share the same values of long-term investment, entrepreneurship and responsibility."
