Mar 2021Undisclosed stageEXOR (lead)$635M$2.6BChristian Louboutin, founded in 1991, is a Paris-based luxury brand renowned for its red-soled shoes, with diversification into men's footwear, leather goods, accessories, and beauty products. The company operates approximately 150 directly-operated retail stores across 30 countries. On March 8, 2021, EXOR N.V., the investment holding company of the Agnelli family and major shareholder in Ferrari, agreed to acquire a 24% stake in Christian Louboutin for €541 million (about $643 million), valuing the company at €2.25 billion. The deal, expected to close in Q2 2021, positions EXOR to nominate two board members and support expansion, particularly in China through geographic growth and enhanced digital/e-commerce platforms. This transaction marks EXOR's strategic move into luxury fashion following its majority stake in Shang Xia. Louboutin, independently owned prior to the deal by founder Christian Louboutin and partners Henri Seydoux and Bruno Chamberlland, sells roughly a million pairs of shoes annually. The investment aims to accelerate the brand's next development phase amid opportunities in high-growth markets. Post-deal references confirm the €541 million investment at consistent valuation levels in EXOR's 2021 half-year and annual reports.
