GBL is investing up to €2.4 billion in equity across three transactions as it shifts toward direct private assets.
Recordati’s tender offer met its 66.67% threshold on October 23, 2026; approximately €1 billion of the potential €1.4 billion investment was deployed.
The transactions include a €500 million majority stake in BUKO and a €400 million co-control investment in Rayner.
Exits from Umicore and Concentrix generated combined proceeds of €500 million; the remaining 1.1% Concentrix stake was sold in October.
A €500 million share buyback envelope authorized November 5 will start once the current program is completed.
