The firm is a market-leading provider in direct and syndicated lending, high yield, leveraged finance and capital market debt issuance.
GLAS SAS has also been involved with numerous high-profile restructuring cases in France such as SMCP, Orpea, Technicolor and Pierre & Vacances.
GLAS founders Mia Drennan and Brian Carne said:
“We are excited to finalise the Group’s first ever acquisition and further expand GLAS’s service capabilities. The AMF and ACPR regulatory permissions of Pristine and GLAS, along with our collective expertise and reputations in the debt markets, will allow us to offer an expanded offering of relevant services to our enlarged client base.”
Pristine Président, Renaud Baboin said:
“This acquisition signals the start of a fantastic partnership between GLAS and Pristine. The two companies are well matched across all aspects of the respective businesses and culture, and I am excited to see how the respective businesses flourish as a result."
Pristine Directeur Général, Benjamin Raillard added:
“We are happy to announce the closure of this transaction and begin integrating Pristine with the GLAS Group. It is an exciting time for the group and our customers who will soon be able to benefit from the synergies of the two organisation’s expertise. We are confident that this partnership will be a fruitful one for all involved.”
GLAS and Pristine’s plan for the future
The conclusion of this acquisition signifies GLAS’s commitment to offering an expanded suite of products and services to meet the needs of clients who participate in originating debt or investing in financial transactions in Europe.
The Pristine team will be located at GLAS SAS’s new Paris office on Avenue George V.
The two organisations will be continue to be separately regulated by the AMF and the ACPR. The two licences will allow GLAS and Pristine to offer an enhanced service to more customers on a greater number of transactions.
