THM Capital Advisory advises the purchasers of JBH Santé in connection with the takeover of the company

THM Capital Advisory advised the purchasers of JBH Santé, a company specialized in the organization of medical conferences and the publication of professional journals in ophthalmology, rheumatology and gynecology.

The company's main asset consists of the JROs (Journées de Réflexions Ophtalmologiques), an annual ophthalmology conference of reference in France, complemented by the organization of congresses and symposiums in regions on specific ophthalmology topics.

Created 25 years ago by Jacques Halimi, a rheumatologist, JBH Santé has weathered the health crisis with resilience: after the forced cancellation of the JROs in March 2020, the company succeeded in a few months in transforming its historical face-to-face conferences into digital events, which proved to be very successful.

It is this ability to adapt that definitively convinced Emmanuelle Gorsse, a professional in the organization of fairs and congresses, to take over the company, accompanied by three private shareholders, including two trade fair specialists.

Jacques Halimi remains involved alongside the new shareholders to ensure a transfer under the best conditions.

THM Capital Advisory advised the acquirers as financial advisor (Thomas Mitard), alongside Volta (Gontran Souweine, François-Joseph Brix) as legal advisor and RBB (Jean-Baptiste Bonnefoux) for financial due diligence.

The seller was accompanied by Benjamin Marinho & Partners (Benjamin Marinho) for the financial part and by Jean-David Guedj et Associés (Jean-David Guedj) for the legal part.
