Majorel and Sitel announced that they and their major shareholders including Bertelsmann have entered a non-binding key terms agreement to merge their two companies and create a new global leader in the CX-customer experience industry. In 2021, with a pro-forma revenue, the combined companies have generated revenues of EUR 5.4 billion and an EBITDA of more than EUR1.0 billion.

The two companies have a global presence across 55 countries, where more than 300 sites globally have employed more than 240,000 employees. Since September 2021, Majorel is listed as an undertaking of Bertelsmann and Saham Group and is listed on Euronext Amsterdam. The proposed merger is scheduled to close in Q4-2022 or in Q1-2023 and is subject to regulatory approvals.

Sitel merger to create global CX leader

Commenting on the merger, Bertelsmann Chairman and CEO Thomas Rabe said that Majorel has enjoyed dynamic growth since its establishment and the growth story was confirmed by the venture’s successful placement of shares on the capital market in 2021. The proposed merger with Sitel Group would create a market leader for Customer Experience with high growth potential and a wide global presence. The company is looking forward to working with the Majorel partners, Saham, the Mulliez family and the management of Majorel and Sitel Group. The combined entities together aim at establishing a new company.

The CEO OF Saham, Moulay Mohamed Elalamy said, that they are delighted to be partnered with Bertelsmann for over 18 years now and are jointly accompanying Majorel to become a global player. They are looking forward to enlarging this partnership to include the Mulliez family, with whom they share strong common values. He also said that this merger is a combination of two fantastic teams, who are not only fundamentally valued but who also share a corporate culture based on empowerment, operational excellence, and diversity.

Bertelsmann will hold a stake of around 17 percent in the combined company following the proposed merger of Majorel and Sitel Group, and would have one seat on its Supervisory Board. Including Bertelsmann, all Majorel shareholders together will receive a special cash distribution totaling EUR440 million. Once the potential merger closes, the shares of the combined company will be admitted to trading on Euronext Amsterdam. The purpose is to increase the free float of shares of the newly formed company in the future.

Bertelsmann and Saham have been working together since 2004. In 2018, Bertelsmann and the Morocco-based Saham Group announced plans to merge their global customer experience (CX) industries. Majorel is active in five continents and in 41 countries and employs about 75,000 employees. The company offers highly focused end-to-end CX services to more than 400 customers worldwide, including many digital-native and vertical leading brands.

Majorel generated net revenues of EUR1.75 billion in the financial year 2021, up 31 percent quarter-on-quarter. Operating EBITDA was EUR316 million, a 61-percent increase over the financial year, 2020.
