La Défense, 31 December 2021
Indigo Group S.A. sold its 50% stake in LAZ Karp Associates LLC, following its repositioning strategy to infrastructure markets
On 30 December 2021, Indigo Group's US holding concluded the sale of its 50% interest in LAZ Karp Associates LLC to its historical joint-venture partner LAZ Karp Partners LLC , consistently with the terms of the agreement signed on 27 September 2021. This disposal is aligned with the Group's strategy consisting in prioritizing markets where the Group holds a controlling position and sees opportunity to become a major infrastructure player. The proceeds from the sale provide Indigo Group with improved S&P financial ratios and enhanced liquidity to meet its future financing needs, and especially for its future developments in infrastructure projects. Following this transaction, the Group's operations in the United States are limited to the majority-owned Hudson Tea car park of 1,250 spaces located in Hoboken, New Jersey.
Serge Clémente, President of the Executive Board of Indigo Group, said: "I would like to thank our partners at LAZ Karp Partners and its CEO Alan Lazowski for our 15 years of exceptional partnership which has led to the fastest growing and second largest parking company in the country. The North American market remains at the heart of our strategy thanks to our wholly-owned subsidiary in Canada where we benefit from an excellent management team, a well-diversified portfolio, and new opportunities in adjacent services such as last mile services and EV charging."
