Chargeurs Achieves Milestone in Novacel Sale

On April 29, 2026, Compagnie Chargeurs Invest announced a significant development in its strategic sale of Novacel. Following a binding put option agreement with KPS Capital Partners in January, the company has finalized a Share Purchase Agreement with KPS. This marks an essential phase in the company's divestment process.

The employee consultation procedures are complete, and necessary merger clearances have been acquired, paving the way for the transaction's anticipated completion in the next few weeks.

Chargeurs will maintain a financial interest in Novacel's future. This step aligns with their strategy to focus on assets with high value-added content and growth potential, especially in light of advancements in artificial intelligence.
