VOIRON, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:

N4 GROUP (Paris:ALN4), an integrated French family-owned group and a major player in fitness, sports nutrition, health and wellness, today announces the results of its initial public offering on Euronext Growth® Paris (ISIN code: FR001401BD72 – Ticker symbol: ALN4).

Total demand under the Offering amounted to €33.1 million, including €31.4 million under the Global Placement, primarily intended for institutional investors, and €1.7 million under the Fixed Price Offer (“OPF”), primarily intended for individual investors in France.

The transaction represents a total gross offering amount of €33.1 million, comprising €7 million from the issue of new shares and €26.1 million from the sale of existing shares by Arlette Capital, Mathieu Viscuso and Alexandre Dez.

Stéphane Viscuso, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of N4 GROUP, commented: “The success of our IPO marks a new milestone in N4 GROUP’s history. We would like to thank the institutional and individual investors who have placed their trust in us, as well as our teams, whose daily commitment and dedication underpin the Group’s strength. The funds raised will enable us to strengthen N4 Labs’ industrial capacity in Voiron and accelerate our development across Europe. Since founding FitnessBoutique in 1999, we have built an integrated group capable of designing, manufacturing and bringing high-quality products to consumers. We enter this new phase with the ambition of expanding the reach of our brand portfolio through our business model based on profitable growth that creates value, driven, as always, by the entrepreneurial and family spirit that has guided us since the outset.”

José Gonzalo, Executive Director of the Mid & Large Cap and SME Private Equity division at Bpifrance, added: “N4 Group embodies precisely the type of company that BlueSpring aims to support: a French player positioned in fast-growing segments, which has, over more than twenty-five years, built a robust ecosystem and business model with well-recognised brands. By investing in its equity as part of this IPO, we are choosing to make a long-term commitment alongside a management team whose vision and ambitions we share.”

Reasons for the Offering: accelerating industrial development and European expansion

The IPO serves a dual purpose: enabling N4 GROUP to raise funds to accelerate the implementation of its growth strategy and become a leading player on the international stage, while providing partial liquidity to certain existing shareholders.

The estimated net proceeds from the issue of new shares, amounting to approximately €6.14 million, will be used to finance the following strategic objectives:

• Approximately 70% to strengthen N4 Labs’ industrial capacity, notably through the installation of new production lines at the Voiron site. These investments will support the gradual insourcing of production in the Nutrition division, with the share produced in-house expected to increase from approximately 32% as of March 31, 2026, to approximately 70% within three to five years;

• Approximately 30% for the Group’s international development, primarily in Belgium, Spain and Italy. This expansion will initially rely on e-commerce and local B2B partnerships, followed by the opening of pilot points of sale and the rollout of franchises or affiliations.

The proceeds from the sale of existing shares will accrue exclusively to the selling shareholders. N4 GROUP will receive no proceeds from the sales made under the Secondary Offering.

The admission of its shares to trading on Euronext Growth® Paris should also enable N4 GROUP to benefit from greater visibility in its markets.

Results and allocation of the Offering

As announced at the launch of the Offering, the Offer Price was set by the Company’s Board of Directors on October 7, 2026, at €23.81 per share.

At its meeting today, the Board of Directors determined the final terms of the Offering and decided to issue 293,994 new shares, representing a capital increase with gross proceeds of €7 million, including the share premium. Sales of existing shares comprise 1,095,836 shares, representing gross proceeds of €26.1 million.
The Extension Clause was not exercised.

A total of 1,389,830 shares were allocated as follows:

Investor category	Number of shares allocated	Percentage of shares allocated
Global Placement	1,320,442	95%
Fixed Price Offer	69,388	5%
Total	1,389,830	100%

Under the OPF, A1 portions of orders, comprising between 1 and 250 shares inclusive, will be filled at a rate of 100%, and A2 portions, comprising shares in excess of 250, at a rate of 100%.

Based on the Offer Price of €23.81 per share and the 11,213,775 shares comprising the Company’s share capital following the transaction, after completion of the preliminary contributions described in the Prospectus and the capital increase, N4 GROUP’s market capitalisation amounts to €267 million.

Settlement and delivery of the OPF and the Global Placement are expected to take place on October 23, 2026. Trading in N4 GROUP shares on Euronext Growth® Paris is expected to begin on October 26, 2026, under ISIN code FR001401BD72 and ticker symbol ALN4.
