Significant events
- “During the year, the Group's shareholding structure changed following the introduction of a new majority investor on 10 September 2025. As a result, L'Oreal S.A. became the majority shareholder of the Group, and Inflexion Private Equity Partners LLP, previously the majority shareholder, became a minority shareholder. The change in ownership did not affect the Group's principal activities.”
- “During the year, the Company underwent a change in ownership following the acquisition of the Company by CSA Topco Limited, a newly incorporated holding company established in connection with the acquisition. Upon completion of the acquisition, CSA Topco Limited became the ultimate parent undertaking of the Group. Inflexion Buyout Fund V GP Guernsey Limited, which previously held a controlling interest in the Company, retained a minority shareholding in the enlarged group, while L'Oreal S.A. obtained a majority interest through its investment in the new holding company. The Group's principal activities and operations remained unchanged following the acquisition.”
