The IPO was amply subscribed by a large and well-diversified number of French and international investors that have a range of strongly complementary approaches to asset management and investment time horizons. This successful offering allowed Neoen to raise approximately €450 million from the issuance of new shares, which it expects to deploy to finance the pursuit of its strong growth. Based on the offering price of €16.50 per share, Neoen’s market capitalization will be approximately €1.4 billion following the completion of the offering.

Commenting on the success of the IPO, Xavier Barbaro, Chief Executive Officer of Neoen, said: “We are very proud of the success of our IPO. Neoen is now the first French unicorn in the renewable energy sector and has at the same time achieved far and away the largest capital raise in the last 16 months on Euronext Paris. In a particularly demanding market context, this success is a powerful sign of confidence in our strategy, positioning and growth potential. This IPO is a major step in the life of our company and we are very grateful to our shareholders, old and new, as well as our teams and our advisors, for having made this offering so successful.”
