Access to credit poses a significant challenge for producers, driving them towards private credit and capital markets, which translates into a sizeable market opportunity to Vinci. Having a dedicated, first-class team with extensive experience and a proven track record deploying capital to the sector allows us to expand our franchise and tackle this opportunity. This transaction is aligned with Vinci’s long-term goals of broadening its business lines and building leading franchises.”

Ito added: “We are extremely happy to join Vinci, as we see a strong business and cultural fit. Combining our extensive expertise in originating operations across the agricultural sector with Vinci’s well-established platform and distribution capabilities will be pivotal in expanding the franchise and crafting a leading solutions provider in the segment.”

Furthermore, the transaction is scheduled for completion in Q3 2024, will include an initial cash component and an earnout structure in 2028. MAV Capital’s acquisition is not expected to have a substantial impact on the company’s short-term results.
