OVHcloud starts preparing for potential IPO
France-based cloud provider OVHcloud has begun the process for a potential listing in Paris, reports Reuters citing a spokesperson for the company. While financial details have not been revealed, the potential IPO would result in the current owner retaining a majority of OVHcloud’s shares. Founder Octave Klaba and his family currently hold an 80 percent stake in the business, with KKR and Towerbrook owning the remaining 20 percent. The two US investors made OVHcloud reach ‘unicorn’ status with their EUR 250 million cash injection in 2016, in an operation that valued the company at over EUR 1 billion.
