In 2015, we acquired a minority stake in AmRest Holdings SE, the fastest-growing independent restaurant chain operator in Europe. Since then, we have increased our stake several times, and we currently hold 67% of the company.
Since we made our initial investment, AmRest has shown significant growth based on new restaurant openings and a fast acquisition pace, mainly in Western Europe. At the time we made the decision to invest in AmRest in 2015, the company operated 850 restaurants in 13 countries; it currently operates more than 2,300 restaurants in 25 countries. The portfolio includes nine brands in the fast food and casual dining categories: KFC, Pizza Hut, Burger King, and Starbucks under the franchise model, and its own brands La Tagliatella, Blue Frog, KABB, Bacoa, and Sushi Shop. In addition, AmRest operates a portfolio of its own virtual brands that are only available for home delivery: Pokaï, Lepieje, ‘Oi Poke, Moya Misa Ramen, Pierwsze i Drugie, Viva Salad!, Sushi Tone, Eat’s Fine, and Cremontano.
In early 2018, AmRest changed its registered office from Wroclaw, Poland, to Madrid. In November of that same year, AmRest began trading in euros in the Spanish stock exchange as a dual listing as it also continues to trade on the Warsaw Stock Exchange.
We actively participate in the AmRest Board of Directors with three directors who contribute to maintaining the company's strategic discipline and good corporate governance. The other four directors are independent.

In 2016, we invested in Inmobiliaria Colonial, a leading company in the prime office building sector in Europe, that is present in Madrid, Barcelona, and Paris.
2018 was a year marked by great achievements for Colonial given that it merged with another company in the sector, Axiare Patrimonio, to underpin its leadership in the prime office building market in Spain and France. Inmobiliaria Colonial also increased its stake in Société Fonciére Lyonnaise (SFL), whose portfolio includes 18 high-quality assets with prime locations in France.
In June 2021, Colonial announced the acquisition of up to 18% of the share capital of SFL, growing its stake from the current 82% to 100% by acquiring the stake of Predica, Crédit Agricole’s insurance company, and by issuing a mixed, voluntary tender offer for the stake currently held by minority shareholders. With this acquisition, Colonial will consolidate its leadership in the prime office building sector in Europe and increase its size and value as well as its exposure in the French real estate market, with flagship assets in privileged areas in Paris.
Through several transactions, at Finaccess Capital we have built our investment in Colonial and we currently hold a stake of approximately 16%, making us the second most relevant investor in the company. We hold two seats on the Board of Directors.
