French debt managers MCS, DSO in exclusive negotiations for potential merger

France-based debt managers MCS Groupe and DSO Group SAS entered exclusive negotiations for a potential merger, the companies said June 4.

The tie-up, which is subject to the agreement of staff at both companies and regulatory approvals, will result in a new entity with consolidated 2017 net revenues of more than €130 million.

MCS CEO Jérémie Dyen will be CEO of the group holding company, in charge of capital allocation and investment policy, while MCS CEO Jean-François Bensahel will be CEO of the new group resulting from the merger and its operational subsidiaries.

MCS is owned by BC Partners LLP and DSO Group by Montefiore Investment. BC Partners will hold the majority shareholding in the combined company, alongside Montefiore and the management of the two companies.
