Investment thesis

Nexi is the leader in Italy in the digital payments sector, an industry characterized by a structural growth trend linked to the increasing penetration of electronic payment instruments. Since its entry at the end of 2015, Clessidra Private Equity has supported the group through the strengthening of the managerial structure, the launch of new products (International Debit cards, instant payments), and new value-added services (e-commerce, VAS), investment in cutting-edge technologies, the implementation of operational efficiency initiatives as well as the pursuit of numerous strongly value accretive add-on opportunities (including Mercury Payment Service, Bassilichi, the merchant acquiring business of Intesa San Paolo, MPS, Deutsche Bank, and Carige, as well as the recently announced combination operations with Sia and Nets) and the divestment of non-core businesses. In April 2019, Nexi was successfully listed on the Italian Stock Exchange.
