August Debouzy advised Verdoso, an independent French family investment firm focused on majority investments in transformation situations, in connection with the signing of an exclusivity agreement with Orange regarding the contemplated acquisition of Globecast.

Globecast, Orange’s media services subsidiary, supports thousands of clients — including broadcasters, content owners and platform operators — in the global delivery and distribution of audiovisual content. The company operates a worldwide network of teleports and 24/7 operations centers, supported by a hybrid infrastructure combining satellite, fiber and IP-based solutions.

This contemplated acquisition aligns with Verdoso’s strategy as a well-established carve-out specialist, having completed more than 35 acquisitions since its founding in 1997, including transactions involving major groups such as Pernod Ricard, Schneider Electric, Lafarge and ENGIE. The transaction is expected to provide Globecast with a long-term shareholder capable of supporting the rollout of next-generation services and strengthening its position in a rapidly evolving market.

The transaction remains subject to the information and consultation process with Orange’s employee representative bodies and is expected to close by the end of 2026.

August Debouzy acted with a multidisciplinary, multi-jurisdictional team led by **Étienne Mathey** (partner), with **Coralie Foucault**(senior associate), **Hortense Coulon** (associate) and**Elina Alfarmini**(associate) on corporate/M&A matters; **Alexandra Berg-Moussa** (partner), **Thibaut Amourette** (counsel) and **Charlotte Chen** (senior associate) on commercial and IT matters; **Florence Chafiol (**partner) and **Alexandra Antali**s (associate) on data protection matters; **Pierre Perrot**(counsel) and**Inès Bouzayen** (senior associate) on intellectual property matters; **Vincent Brenot** (partner) and **Victoire Le Calvez** (associate) on public and regulatory matters; **Mathilde Saltiel**(partner) on competition law; **Philippe Lorentz**(partner) and **Elie Bétard** (counsel) on tax matters; **Olivier Attias** (partner) and **Dorra Chedli**(associate) on compliance and litigation; **Virginie Devos** (partner), **Boris Léone-Robin** (counsel) and **Joël Fernandez**(senior associate) on employment law; **Guillaume Aubatier** (partner) and **Alix Kiampour**(associate) on real estate matters; and **Jennifer Hinge** (partner) and **Pauline Desplas**(senior associate) on financing matters.

The firm also relied on its international network of partner law firms across multiple jurisdictions, including the U.S., the U.K., Italy, Singapore, India, the Middle East and South Africa.
