The continuation fund, anchored by Mercer and Arcano as anchor investors, also includes additional commitments from Bregal, Golding, and ING Corporate Investments. The transaction aims to support De Jong Zuurmond's next growth phase with dedicated follow-on capital for organic expansion and a buy-and-build strategy.
Deal Mechanics
The fund, managed by Capital A, will provide additional funding for DJZ’s continued development, including potential international expansions. The deal is part of Capital A’s ongoing efforts to support high-growth companies in the Benelux and DACH regions through both organic growth and acquisitions.
Strategic Rationale
This continuation fund allows De Jong Zuurmond to extend its timeline for growth beyond its initial investment period. The dedicated follow-on capital will enable DJZ to accelerate its organic expansion as well as pursue strategic M&A opportunities in the Netherlands and adjacent European markets.
Financial Context
Since Capital A’s acquisition of De Jong Zuurmond in 2018, the company has experienced strong and consistent organic growth alongside an active M&A program. DJZ has completed ten add-on acquisitions to establish a national platform serving government bodies, municipalities, and provinces.
Advisors
William Blair served as exclusive financial advisor to Capital A for the continuation fund transaction and the refinancing of De Jong Zuurmond. Legal counsel on both sides included Loeb & Loeb, representing Capital A.
Outlook
Arne Hamers, Managing Partner at Capital A, expressed optimism about the future growth prospects for DJZ under this new financial arrangement. He emphasized that the continuation fund provides the necessary capital and timeframe to support management's vision for expansion.
