The proposed rapprochement between Pierre & Vacances and Mubadala Capital takes another step forward.

The two groups have signed an agreement outlining the terms for acquiring all outstanding Pierre & Vacances shares, via MC Pomona Bidco, a vehicle controlled by Mubadala Capital.

The transaction contemplates a voluntary cash offer, according to the financial terms announced on June 22, 2026. Mubadala Capital has already secured commitments from shareholders representing 80.13% of the circulating share capital.

Among them are Fidera Limited, with 26.72%, Benefit Street Partners, with 24.96%, Pastel Holding, with 8.60%, and Pristine, with 11.49%, within the framework of the management trust related notably to the state-guaranteed loan.


Pierre & Vacances: The Board of Directors Back the Offer

On July 17, 2026, the Pierre & Vacances board of directors welcomed, unanimously and favorably, the proposed offer. Its reasoned opinion will be issued after the delivery of the independent expert’s report and the views of the employee representative bodies.

The board currently believes that the operation is in the best interests of the company, its shareholders, its employees and its other stakeholders.

The offer contemplates a price of €1.90 per ordinary share, with the attached coupon, and €1.79 per share with the detached coupon.

To read: The Pierre & Vacances group could be acquired by an Emirati fund.

An additional €0.10 per share could be paid in the event of a mandatory withdrawal and delisting, provided that Mubadala Capital holds at least 90% of the capital and voting rights on a fully diluted basis at the end of the offer.

An extraordinary distribution of bonuses of €0.11 per ordinary share must also be approved by the shareholders at an extraordinary general meeting planned around 30 September 2026.


Pierre & Vacances: An Offer Expected in the First Quarter of 2027

The filing of the offer with the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) is planned no later than the first quarter of 2027.

It remains subject, notably, to obtaining the usual regulatory approvals, to the board’s reasoned opinion, to the approval of the extraordinary distribution by the shareholders, and to obtaining the necessary consents under existing financing agreements.

The closing of the offer is expected to occur in the first half of 2027. If the conditions are met, Mubadala Capital also plans a mandatory buyout of all shares and a delisting of Pierre & Vacances.

For Mubadala Capital, this operation should support a new development phase for the group, notably through the renovation and upgrading of its sites, as well as the expansion of its portfolio.

CroisiEurope


For the summer season of 2026, Pierre & Vacances announces the opening of four new premium residences in Switzerland, located in various Alpine resorts.

In the Valais canton, two establishments will open in Val d’Anniviers: the Zinal residence, equipped notably with a restaurant, a gaming room and a children’s area, with access to mountain activities such as visiting the Zinal glacier, rock climbing, and mountain biking; and the Vercorin residence, which will offer a spa, a restaurant, and various activities such as paragliding or discovering the local wine heritage.

A third residence will be located at Thyon 4, in Val d’Hérens. It will notably include a restaurant with panoramic views and will provide access to a range of hiking and mountain-biking activities, as well as the spa at the Grands Bains d’Hérémence.

Finally, a fourth residence will open in Meiringen, in the canton of Bern, near the Sherlock Holmes museum and about twenty minutes from Interlaken.

Guests will also receive a guest card giving access to several local activities free of charge or at a reduced rate, such as the municipal swimming pool, mini-golf, tennis, or certain guided tours.


Make the Train the Gateway to the Swiss Alps

In parallel, the brand partners with TGV Lyria to promote a combined offering of rail transport and accommodation, with the aim of facilitating access to the Swiss Alps without a car.

This partnership takes place in a context where transportation accounts for nearly 70% of greenhouse gas emissions tied to vacations.

The two companies thus aim to encourage travelers to favor train travel to reach mountain destinations.

A subsidiary of SNCF Voyageurs and the Swiss Federal Railways, TGV Lyria connects Paris and Dijon year-round to several major Swiss cities, including Geneva, Lausanne, Basel and Zurich.

An additional summer link also connects Marseille to Geneva and Lausanne from April to October, with enhanced service in July and August.

“”With Pierre & Vacances, we concretely facilitate access to the Swiss Alps by combining low-carbon mobility and premium experience,” explains Éric Dehlinger, chief executive of TGV Lyria.

For Pierre & Vacances, this initiative is part of its strategy to develop mountain destinations accessible without a car. “The opening of Switzerland is a strategic milestone in our European development and strengthens our position as a leading actor in mountain travel“, notes Grégory Sion, the brand’s chief executive.

On the occasion of this launch, the two partners offer a joint promotion including -20% on stays in the Swiss residences and on TGV Lyria Standard class tickets. The promotion will be on sale from 16 to 31 March 2026, for trips and stays between 25 April and 12 December 2026.

Pierre & Vacances-Center Parcs Confirms Its Goals Despite First-Half Loss

CroisiEurope


Pierre & Vacances-Center Parcs published semi-annual results marked by an uptick in its tourism activity for the first half of the 2025/2026 fiscal year.

For the first six months of the period, the group’s overall external revenue reached €816.8 million, up from €802.1 million a year earlier, representing a rise of 1.8%.

Tourism activities account for €805.8 million in revenue, up 6%. This growth is driven by both accommodation (+6.2%, to €619.7 million) and other tourism activities (+5.4%, to €186.1 million).


Pierre & Vacances: revenue by brand

In detail, Center Parcs records revenue of €495.4 million (+2.4%), of which €492.5 million comes from tourism activities. The brand’s lodging activity grows by 5.8%, to €377.9 million.

Pierre & Vacances registers revenue of €172.9 million, up 6.2%. Lodging-related income reaches €143.7 million, a rise of 7.5% year over year.

Adagio posts revenue of €109.6 million (+5.5%), while maeva&co hits €30.8 million (+6.6%).

The group also continued to develop its activities during the semester. Pierre & Vacances formed a partnership with Swisspeak Resorts in Switzerland, Adagio took over nine residences operated by Sergic, and maeva&co joined the Camping Paradis and Ushuaïa Villages franchises.

Center Parcs also launched “Friends,” a new loyalty program designed to strengthen customer engagement.


Net loss of €101.4 million due to seasonality

On the financial side, adjusted EBITDA stands at -€41.6 million for the first half, versus -€40.3 million a year earlier. The group reports a net loss of €101.4 million, attributing it in particular to the seasonality of its activities and to several exceptional items.

Franck Gervais, the group’s chief executive, notes that “the first half of 2025/2026 confirms the relevance and robustness of our model” in “an internationally tense environment.” He highlights the strength of our positioning in local tourism, supported by the rise in the average selling price and in the number of nights sold.

Pierre & Vacances-Center Parcs nonetheless confirms its annual target for adjusted EBITDA at €185 million, despite the negative effects of the VAT increase on tourist accommodation in the Netherlands and Belgium.
