SM Caen: Vincent Catherine leaves Oaktree
Body
Since September 2020, he had become one of the new faces of Stade Malherbe; perhaps not the best known to the general public but one of the most important without a doubt. As managing director of the activities in France of Oaktree Capital Management, Vincent Catherine had played a crucial role in the takeover of the Caen club. Holding more than 80% of the SMC, this American investment fund had looked into it through Pierre-Antoine Capton (the chairman of the Supervisory Board who holds the rest of the capital). “His presence and the possibility of partnering with him were important elements in our decision to invest in the club. He convinced us of the relevance of this project”we explained it in an interview in December 2020.
Present at almost all the matches at d’Ornano as well as many outside matches, such as the Coupe Gambardella final at the Stade de France, Vincent Catherine has decided to take up a new professional challenge by joining the Sienna group. as revealed by Les Echos. However, this departure in no way calls into question Oaktree’s commitment to Stade Malherbe*.
