Grolleau was listed through the admission to trading on 3 December 2021 of the 2 842 105 shares making up its equity and of 842 105 new shares issued under a Global Offering[2], after full exercise of the extension option.

The Offering was a resounding success with international institutional and individual investors. The Offer was oversubscribed 2 times.
Laurent Marbach, CEO of Grolleau, said: “It is with ambition that we are launching our IPO. For 70 years, we have successfully accompanied the technological changes in cities and regions in an increasingly connected world. Needs and investments in the fields of energy, telecommunications and even urban mobility are accelerating, particularly with the deployment of 5G and connected objects. We are part of this promising dynamic, backed by our industrial experience and our already-established leadership positions in the design and manufacture of secure outdoor infrastructures. With additional resources, Grolleau will be able to strengthen its position in its three growth markets (urban, in particular electric mobility, industry and telecoms through the deployment of fibre optics and data processing), develop new high-potential markets and accelerate its international presence. We will also invest in the digitalisation of our industrial plant and be able to seize targeted acquisitions that are complementary to our businesses or skills. We are already mobilised to build the key player in the Smart Territory.”
