Regulatory News:
Mon Courtier Energie Groupe, a B2B energy brokerage company, announces the success of its Initial Public Offering on the Euronext Growth market in Paris (ISIN: FR001400H3A0 Ticker: ALMCE)
Charlie Evrard, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Mon Courtier Energie Groupe, said: "Mon Courtier Energie Groupe is pleased to announce that its IPO became effective today. We are proud and delighted to join the ranks of companies listed on the Paris stock exchange. The members of the team join me in thanking Eiffel Investment Group and all the investors both institutional and individual who decided to join our entrepreneurial journey by taking part in this fundraising, as well as all the members of staff who, since 2017, have enabled Mon Courtier Energie to grow year after year. These resources will allow the Group to accelerate its development and reach ambitious new milestones regarding its three objectives: our development in France, our international development and the ramping up of our offers concerning companies' energy transition. Mon Courtier Energie's Initial Public Offering will also help increase the Group's brand awareness in a fragmented and fast-growing market
Reminder of the purpose of the Offer: accelerate the profitable growth strategy
The estimated net proceeds of the Offer, totalling €6 million (excluding the Over-Allotment Option), will be allocated to financing the following strategic objectives:
- Approximately 50% will be devoted to accelerating the commercial network in France and strengthening the Bordeaux head-office teams for the development of brokerage and energy contract management support activities. These funds will be used to develop the Group's brand awareness, open new branches to expand the network to more than 40 branches by end-2025, and recruit new staff;
- Approximately 30% will be devoted to developing international business, and notably to continuing its development in Spain (10%) and launching an activity in Italy (20%);
- Approximately 20% will be devoted to developing the activity related to supporting companies with their energy transition, and notably to strengthening the newly created team, seeking partnerships, developing offers and marketing.
Results and allocation of the Offer
As announced by the Group at the time of the Offer's launch, on May 5, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors set the Offer Price at €9.65 per share.
The Initial Public Offering has enabled the Company to carry out a capital increase of €7.0 million via the issuance of 725,388 new ordinary shares (excluding the potential exercise of the Over-Allotment Option).
Within the framework of the Offer, 786,604 shares offered were allocated as follows:
- Global Placement: 584,176 shares allocated to institutional investors (or 74% of the total number of shares offered);
- Fixed Price Offering ("FPO"): 202,428 shares allocated to the public (or 26% of the total number of shares offered).
Within the framework of the FPO, A1 orders (from 1 share up to 250 shares included) and A2 orders (above 250 shares) will be allocated at 100%. The total demand received in the FPO has been served in full.
Based on the IPO Offer Price of €9.65 per share and the 3,625,388 existing shares following the transaction, Mon Courtier Energie Groupe's market capitalisation will be approximately €35 million.
The Settlement-delivery of the FPO and the Global Placement is expected to take place on May 30, 2023, and trading in Mon Courtier Energie Groupe shares on Euronext Growth Paris should begin on May 31, 2023 under ISIN code FR001400H3A0 and ticker ALMCE.

The Company received a subscription commitment from Eiffel Investment Group for an amount of €3.8 million, representing approximately 54% of the Initial Offering (excluding exercise of the Extension Clause and Over-Allotment Option).
Lock-up commitments
Lock-up commitment by the Company: 180 days from the Settlement-Delivery of the Offer, subject of the Note d'Opération
Lock-up commitment by shareholders: 360 days from the Settlement-Delivery of the Offer, subject to certain customary exceptions such as divestments to a third party approved beforehand by the Global Coordinator, Lead Manager and Bookrunner that must be accompanied by the commitment of the transferee over the remaining term of the initial commitment, the contribution to a public tender or exchange offer for the Company's shares, or the transfer to a controlled entity.

This Over-Allotment Option, which will enable any over-allotments to be covered, may be exercised, in whole or in part, at the Offer Price, in one go and at any time by the Investment Services Provider, for thirty calendar days from the start of trading in the Company's shares on Euronext Growth Paris, i.e. according to the indicate timetable from May 31 to June 30, 2023 (inclusive).
