Gruppo Ryze completes financing operation with Tikehau to fuel strategic growth

Ryze S.p.A., a leading firm in real estate consultancy and integrated property services, has successfully finalised a financing transaction with Tikehau acting as the lender. Ryze S.p.A. is controlled by AnaCap Financial Partners, a primary pan-European private equity fund focused on services, software, and technology, alongside partner shareholders Emanuele Bellani, Paolo Datti, and Paolo Perrella.

The financing is intended to refinance the existing debt of Gruppo Ryze and provide the necessary capital for strategic acquisitions, including the recent purchase of Technical & Construction Solutions. More broadly, the facility aims to support and accelerate the group's expansion path within the real estate, urban planning, and environmental consultancy sectors.

A&O Shearman provided legal assistance to Ryze S.p.A. with a team led by partner Diego Esposito, supported by associate Alessia Cellucci and trainee Benedetta Girotti. The firm’s capital markets team involved in the transaction included partner Alessandra Pala, senior associate Edoardo Brugnoli, associate Marco Mazzurco, and trainee Antonio Iuliano. Counsel Elia Ferdinando Clarizia managed the tax profiles of the operation.

White & Case assisted Tikehau with a team led by partners Stefano Bellani and Luca Maffia, alongside associates Nicola Tosin and Gabriele Costanzo Piccinino.
