This change comes after the partial sale of the shareholding of the Canadian pension fund, PSP Investments, by way of an accelerated book building1.
This transaction, which reflects PSP's new investment policy, was oversubscribed and carried out in line with the Group's interests with quality institutional investors, allowing Predica, life insurance subsidiary of Crédit Agricole Assurances, and Malakoff Médéric Humanis to increase their participation.
Indeed, these two significant and long-term shareholders together hold almost one third of the capital of Korian. At the same time, the free float has widened and will increase the liquidity of the stock.
In a press release, PSP Investments underlined its confidence in Korian’s strategy and long-term outlook.
This capital allocation does not take into account the option for the payment of the dividend in shares.
