Highlighted Exits from 2026
The first notable exit comes from South Africa, where EXEO Capital's Agri-Vie Fund II successfully divested its stake in Chemical Process Technologies, a Pretoria-based firm specializing in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients for animal health. This strategic move followed a four-year holding period, during which EXEO initially acquired a minority stake in 2022 before eventually gaining majority control through additional growth funding.
Moving to Morocco, Amethis has made headlines by exiting its investment in Globex, a logistics and transport company that has significantly evolved since its inception in 1998 as a FedEx-licensed express delivery operator. Today, Globex operates as a comprehensive logistics provider, offering services that include freight forwarding, customs clearance, warehousing, and road transport.
Another remarkable transaction occurred when Helios Investment Partners listed T2S Group, an integrated med-tech company, on the Casablanca Stock Exchange. This successful offering raised MAD 1.1 billion (approximately $120 million) and valued T2S Group at around MAD 4.9 billion ($520 million) post-listing, with Helios retaining a significant 42% stake.
In a strategic divestment, Adenia Partners acquired a majority stake in Minet Group from Capitalworks. Minet is recognized as one of Africa's largest independent insurance brokerage and risk advisory firms, providing a wide range of services across nine African nations.
Lastly, Eos Capital's Allegrow Fund achieved an impressive 40% internal rate of return (IRR) from its exit of The Mushara Collection, a series of private lodges located near Etosha National Park. This exit, which is pending regulatory approval, resulted in a remarkable 4.4 times return on invested capital.
