Carlyle, the private equity fund, has divested its remaining 7.13 percent interest in Moncler for €215 million, selling more than 17.8 million shares at a unit price of €12.04, 0.5 percent higher than the closing price of the previous day, but then Moncler's share price has fallen by 23 percent since the beginning of this year. Carlyle was advised by Rothschild. It was the third-largest shareholder in Moncler prior to its public offering last Nov. 17, which valued the company at €2.19 billion. It was previously the largest one, with a stake of 48 percent. However, in 2011, prior to a planned initial public offering that did not take place, Carlyle sold a large part of its shares to another investment company, Eurazeo, which paid a total of €418 million for 45 percent of Moncler's shares.
