WEDIA
WEDIA is registered in France under SIREN 433 103 595 (RCS Paris). This profile corresponds to SIRET 433 103 595 00065, an establishment in Paris (75009) that operated as WEDIA’s registered head office from 13 March 2018 to 14 February 2025; that establishment is no longer active. WEDIA’s current head office, per the company’s own legal notice, is at 11 bis rue Bachaumont, 75002 Paris, under SIRET 433 103 595 00073. WEDIA was originally constituted as a Societe Anonyme (SA) and converted to a Societe par Actions Simplifiee (SAS) around February 2025, following its delisting.
WEDIA is a software and consulting group serving marketing and communications departments. It provides SaaS solutions for digital asset management, distributed marketing and the end-to-end lifecycle of marketing content, including product descriptions, photography, video and packaging, from creation through to distribution across physical and digital channels. Its customers include large accounts and intermediate-sized companies in distribution and retail, life sciences, manufacturing, energy, consumer goods, financial services and insurance, and automotive.
WEDIA was previously listed on Euronext Growth Paris under the ticker ALWED (ISIN FR0010688440), having first floated on NYSE Alternext Paris in 2007. In July and August 2024, Cathay Capital Private Equity and WEDIA’s management team, acting through a jointly held vehicle, Mercure SAS, acquired a controlling block of approximately 57-58% of WEDIA’s share capital. Mercure SAS then launched a simplified cash tender offer at EUR 30.50 per share, opened 15 October 2024, raising its stake to 70% of capital and voting rights. WEDIA’s shares were subsequently delisted from Euronext Growth following a mandatory squeeze-out of the remaining minority shareholders, completed 15 November 2024 at a cash indemnity of EUR 31.75 per share.
For fiscal year 2023, WEDIA Group reported consolidated revenue of approximately EUR 14 million, of which more than 80% was recurring SaaS revenue, according to Cathay Capital’s transaction disclosures; this figure reflects the consolidated group rather than this specific legal entity alone.

Shareholders of WEDIA
WEDIA’s shareholding changed materially during 2024. Before the transaction, its share capital of 856,201 shares was held by WEDIA’s founding management team together with institutional and financial shareholders including NextStage, Amplegest and Philippe Ohanessian, consistent with its status as a company listed on Euronext Growth Paris. Between August and November 2024, Mercure SAS, a holding vehicle formed jointly by Cathay Capital Private Equity and WEDIA’s management team, acquired a controlling block of approximately 57.2% of the capital (489,713 of 856,201 shares) from these shareholders. Mercure SAS then raised its position to 70% of capital and voting rights through a simplified tender offer at EUR 30.50 per share that opened 15 October 2024, before completing a mandatory buyout (retrait obligatoire) of the remaining minority shareholders on 15 November 2024, at an indemnity of EUR 31.75 per share. As a result, WEDIA’s capital is now effectively wholly held by Mercure SAS. This is the latest publicly disclosed shareholding position, dated 15 November 2024; no further public disclosure is required following delisting.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
Mercure SAS is jointly owned by Cathay Capital Private Equity and WEDIA’s own management team, including founder and CEO Nicolas Boutet. No official source discloses the individual ownership split within Mercure SAS or identifies a single natural-person ultimate beneficial owner, so an effective UBO percentage cannot be calculated.
Data availability
Full for the period up to WEDIA’s delisting, based on AMF-regulated tender-offer and squeeze-out disclosures. Post-delisting shareholding is not subject to further public disclosure, so this reflects the last officially confirmed position (15 November 2024).

Group Structure
Group structure of WEDIA
WEDIA is part of a verified corporate group following its 2024 change of control. Its immediate parent is Mercure SAS, a French holding company formed jointly by Cathay Capital Private Equity and WEDIA’s own management team specifically to acquire WEDIA; Mercure SAS raised its stake to 70% of capital via a tender offer in October 2024 and completed a mandatory buyout of remaining minority shareholders on 15 November 2024, after which WEDIA’s capital became effectively wholly held by Mercure SAS. No single ultimate parent is identifiable, since Mercure SAS itself is jointly controlled by Cathay Capital Private Equity (a private-equity investor) and WEDIA’s management team rather than wholly owned by either. Available corporate-linkage data also records a Germany-based subsidiary, Wedia Germany GmbH, though this has not been independently re-verified against a German commercial-register filing in this review. Information is current to 15 November 2024 for the parent relationship.
