Canada | Press release | November 2021

Norton Rose Fulbright advised Coveo Solutions Inc. (Coveo) on its successful C$215-million initial public offering (IPO) of subordinate voting shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “CVO”. The IPO closed on November 24.

Coveo is a Quebec-based enterprise software-as-a-service (SaaS) company that offers a cloud-based platform, and provides solutions for ecommerce, service, website and workplace applications.

Emmanuel Grondin, Partner at Norton Rose Fulbright’s Montreal office, said:

“We congratulate Coveo on successfully closing this landmark technology IPO. In recent years, the Company has experienced impressive growth and we are pleased to have been part of their remarkable and ongoing journey. Through our Montreal and Québec City offices, we have been Coveo’s external counsel since its incorporation in 2004 and have notably acted on deals that set the foundation for their graduation to the public markets, including the pre-IPO financing rounds led by Evergreen Coast Capital, the private equity affiliate of Elliot Management (2018), and by OMERS Growth Equity (2019), as well as the cross-over secondary private placement in 2021. We also advised Coveo on its recent acquisition of Qubit, which we conducted through our Montreal and London offices.”

Louis Têtu, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Coveo, commented:

“Norton Rose Fulbright provided us with critical advice through every step of the process that enabled us to successfully close this transaction. We were particularly impressed by the dedication, depth of talent across seniority levels and the creativity demonstrated by each member of their team.”
