Eurazeo (Paris:RF) announces the sale by Ray Investment s.à.r.l. of 30 million Rexel shares, representing approximately 11.2% of the share capital of Rexel as of December 31, 2011, for a total amount of 472 million euros by way of an accelerated book building to institutional shareholders. Eurazeo is, along with its co-investors Clayton Dubilier & Rice, MLGPE (now part of Bank of America - Merrill Lynch) and Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations du Québec, a shareholder of Ray Investment s.à.r.l. since March 2005 and holds through Ray France Investment S.A.S., a 95%-owned subsidiary of Eurazeo, approximately 32% of Ray Investment s.à.r.l. Eurazeo's share of the proceeds of the Rexel shares sale thus is in excess of 140 million euros.

Since 2005, Eurazeo is supporting the transformation of Rexel. Rexel is today one of the global leaders in the distribution of electrical supplies. Over the past seven years, Rexel has nearly doubled its sales and results. The Group has also developed its offering by proposing more value added services to its clients while positioning itself on new segments and markets such as energy efficiency or emerging markets.

As a result of the sale, Eurazeo's indirect interest in Rexel SA has been reduced from 21.5% as at January 1, 2012, to 18.1% of Rexel share capital.
