PX P10 Inc

P10, Inc. (NYSE: PX) (“P10” or the “Company”), a leading private markets solutions provider, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Qualitas Equity Funds SGEIC, S.A. (“Qualitas Funds”) for an initial purchase price of $63 million with the potential for additional earnout consideration.

Qualitas Funds is a Madrid-based private equity investing platform that provides fund-of-funds, direct co-investing and NAV financing opportunities in the European lower-middle market to more than 1,300 limited partners across the ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW), family office, and institutional channels. The firm has approximately $1 billion in fee-paying assets under management (FPAUM) and a strong expected growth trajectory. The firm was founded in 2014 and is wholly owned by co-founders and co-managing partners, Eric Halverson and Sergio Garcia.

“The Qualitas Funds acquisition establishes a European presence and meaningfully grows P10’s investor base, positioning us as a leading global, multi-strategy private markets firm focused on the middle and lower-middle markets,” said Luke Sarsfield, P10 Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Eric, Sergio, and their talented team have built an incredible firm with strong performance and a loyal investor base. Our strategy leaders have known and worked alongside the Qualitas Funds team for over a decade. They share our client-centric culture and dedication to serving clients with elite, access constrained investment opportunities in the middle and lower-middle markets.”

“We are thrilled to join P10’s diversified private markets ecosystem,” said Halverson and Garcia. “Luke and his team are building the preeminent global middle and lower-middle market private markets firm, and we look forward to working closely with them to generate accelerated growth and deliver continued value for our clients. Specifically, this transaction strengthens our existing relationships with RCP Advisors and Hark Capital as we seek to launch additional strategies and vehicles that meet the demands of global investors seeking to access a full range of opportunities in the middle and lower-middle markets.”

Transaction OverviewP10 has agreed to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Qualitas Funds and 100% of its fee-related earnings. The transaction does not include any carried interest for legacy funds.

The initial consideration of $63 million is composed of $42.25 million in cash and $20.75 million in P10 stock. The stock consideration is subject to a three-year lock-up period. Additionally, up to $35 million1 in earnout consideration may be payable based on the revenue associated with new funds Qualitas Funds raises after closing through December 31, 2027. The earnout consideration will be a mix of cash and P10 stock at the seller’s election, with no more than 65% payable in cash.

Qualitas Funds will continue to be managed by its current managing partners who will retain control of its day-to-day operations, including investment and investment committee processes, and there are employment agreements with each managing partner being put in place.

The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals, including Spanish regulatory approval.
