FDJ Celebrates the Five Years of its Initial Public Offering

Five years ago, on November 21, 2019, La Française des Jeux opened a new chapter in its history with its privatization. To celebrate this symbolic anniversary, the Group’s Chairwoman and CEO, Stéphane Pallez, had the honor of ringing the bell at the Euronext Stock Exchange. 

FDJ’s initial public offering in 2019 was a true success, both with institutional investors and individual shareholders. 

Today, the Group counts nearly 400,000 individual shareholders, 90% of whom have been part of the capital since the stock was first listed. 

This trust rewards a trajectory of sustainable and profitable growth. 

Over the past five years, the Group has successfully transformed around three key areas: digitalization, diversification, and internationalization. 

In October 2024, FDJ reached a major new milestone in its history with the acquisition of Kindred, a leading European player in the online betting and gambling sector. 

This transaction gives birth to a new, stronger Group, positioning FDJ as a European champion in the gaming industry. 

However, while FDJ is evolving, it remains true to its purpose and values, with concrete commitments to equality, inclusion, sports, and biodiversity. 

FDJ continues to be a trusted player for its partners, employees, and the millions of players who follow it every day. It also maintains regular and high-quality communication with its individual shareholders. 

A huge thank you to our shareholders – including 400,000 retail shareholders – partners, and employees, who play a key role in this collective adventure. Thanks to them, we have strengthened our leadership position in the gaming sector while affirming our societal and environmental impact. And this momentum continues: the acquisition of Kindred Group plc marks a strategic step in our development in Europe.

Stéphane Pallez Chairwoman and Chief Executive Officer of the FDJ Group
