Swiss sovereign cloud provider Infomaniak announces that its shareholders have signed an agreement today for the listing of the company on the SIX Swiss Exchange, through a reverse takeover transaction with Perrot Duval Holding SA, a Swiss company listed on the stock exchange since 1905. Subject to the approval of Perrot Duval’s general meeting of shareholders on 24 September 2026 and to the authorisations of the stock exchange authorities, the listed company will be renamed Infomaniak SA. This step will give Infomaniak the means to accelerate the development of its infrastructure and services while preserving its independence. The Infomaniak Foundation will remain the reference shareholder with the majority of the voting rights, with the goal to maintain this independence. For clients, no changes are expected.

The logical next step in a growth story self-financed since 1994
For more than thirty years, Infomaniak has grown without access to outside equity capital and, since 2017, by reinvesting all of its profits. In 2025, the company generated revenue of CHF 54.2 million from the sale of goods and services (CHF 47.6 million in 2024), driven by strong momentum across Europe. It employs more than 300 people in Switzerland and serves approximately 300,000 paying clients.
The listing aims to grant access to the public capital markets for the next stage of development: new data centers in Switzerland to meet growing European demand for sovereign services, and ever more complete cloud and collaboration services, while continuing to create jobs in Geneva and Zurich. Rather than opening its capital to a single investor, Infomaniak has chosen the transparency of a Swiss listing, open to those who share its values, its ambition and its vision of a cloud committed to privacy, the local economy and sustainability.
A transaction designed to preserve independence
The proposed combination would take the form of a reverse takeover. Perrot Duval Holding SA has separately announced today the divestment of its industrial activities, which is also subject to the approval of its general meeting. If these transactions will be approved and completed, the company plans to issue new shares to welcome Infomaniak, and Infomaniak’s current shareholders (the Infomaniak Foundation, the founder and some of the employees) will together hold the vast majority of the listed company. Infomaniak’s management team will remain at the helm of the business. This path, well established in Switzerland, allows a faster and simpler route to the stock exchange than a traditional IPO, with the same transparency: a prospectus and the oversight of the stock exchange authorities.
The Infomaniak Foundation remains the reference shareholder
The listed company will have two share classes:
- B shares, the only ones traded on the stock exchange
- A shares, which are unlisted, carry preferential voting rights: they represent a small share of the economic capital but hold the majority of voting rights. The A shares will be held in full by the Infomaniak Foundation and cannot be freely sold.
The Foundation will thus hold the majority of the voting rights, whatever the evolution of the shareholder base on the stock exchange. What will be bought and sold on the stock exchange is Infomaniak’s economic value, never its independence: no takeover of the company is possible without the Foundation’s consent.
The Foundation, recognised as serving the public interest and placed under the supervision of the competent authority, does not manage the company: management remains in the hands of the board of directors and the executive team. Its role is that of a reference shareholder, governed by the Shareholding Charter, a founding document signed before a notary that sets out nine principles, including independence, digital sovereignty, privacy and environmental responsibility. The Foundation Board may strengthen these principles, but never weaken them. On this basis, it ensures, over the long term, that Infomaniak remains true to its commitments.
Timetable and next steps
The transaction is subject to the approval of the general meeting of shareholders of Perrot Duval Holding SA on 24 September 2026, as well as to the authorisations of SIX Swiss Exchange respectively SIX Exchange Regulation. If approved, completion would follow, and the new shares would be admitted to trading after approval of the prospectus and the listing and admission to trading.
The regulatory announcements relating to the transaction are published by Perrot Duval Holding SA in accordance with the ad hoc publicity requirements of SIX Swiss Exchange. Infomaniak will inform clients and the public on news.infomaniak.com.
“For thirty years, we have sought to reconcile the resources our ambitions require with Infomaniak’s independence: this step is the answer. It gives us the means to build a sustainable European alternative to the cloud giants, with the transparency of a Swiss listing and independence ensured by our Foundation.”
Boris Siegenthaler, founder and Strategic Director of Infomaniak
“Nothing changes for our clients: same teams, same services, same commitments. What grows is our capacity to accelerate, for them.”
Marc Oehler, CEO of Infomaniak
