Paris – 13 February 2023 – Euronext today congratulates Lepermislibre, the pioneering French driving education platform, on its listing on Euronext Growth Paris (ticker code: ALLPL).
Founded in Lyon and approved by the French government since 2014, Lepermislibre is reinventing the French driving school market with its unique integrated and scalable proprietary platform. This platform gives candidates access to learning methods and revision courses on the Highway Code tailored to the new habits of the "digital native" generation. Lepermislibre currently has more than 900 state-certified driving instructors who offer lessons from over 1,500 meeting points across France in more than 500 cities in France. Lepermislibre’s offering has already convinced more than 400,000 candidates who can benefit from a price 30% lower than at a traditional driving school.
The IPO of Lepermislibre on Euronext Growth Paris will enable the company to pursue its strategy around three key elements: increasing its visibility nationally, expanding its geographical coverage and network of instructors, and enriching and diversifying its offer.
Lepermislibre was listed through the admission to trading on 13 February 2023 of the 11,982,620 ordinary shares making up its equity and of 2,075,620 new shares issued under a Global Offering[1].
The admission and issue price of Lepermislibre shares was set at €3.83 per share. Market capitalisation was approximately €46 million on the day of listing. The IPO raised €8 million altogether.
Lucas Tournel and Romain Durand, co-founders of Lepermislibre, said: “We are very pleased to announce that we are now a publicly traded company and we are eager to embark on this new phase of Lepermislibre's history together with our shareholders. Since 2019, our growth has been steady, but we do not intend to stop here. We are aiming to achieve a positive operating balance in 2024 and a turnover of between €45 million and €50 million in 2025. Our ambition is strong: to become the French leader in driving education.”
