ID Logistics Group (the "Company") (ISIN: FR0010929125, Mnemo: IDL) (Paris:IDL), European leader in contract logistics, today announces the successful placement of 375,000 new shares with domestic and international institutional investors.

Total amount of the Capital Increase: €135 million.

TRANSACTION RATIONALE AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Over the last years, ID Logistics has experienced a strong development phase by combining targeted acquisitions (Kane Logistics in the US in 2022 and more recently Spedimex in Poland in 2023) and organic growth, accompanying its blue-chip customers on new geographical markets (Italy and United Kingdom). This positive growth momentum has accelerated in the first half of 2024 with the start of new operations, in particular in the United States which recorded like-for-like revenue growth of +34.8% since the beginning of the year. The commercial activity remains strong with numerous new contract wins. For example, by the end of the year, ID Logistics will launch its 3rd site for a global e-commerce leader in the United States and open a new 50,000 sq.m. site in the United Kingdom for a global leader in the fashion industry.

The Capital Increase illustrates the willingness of the Company to strengthen its balance sheet, in order to enhance its financial agility and ability to be ready to seize the multiple growth opportunities ahead, in particular in Europe and in the US.
