Holnest SAS is the holding and investment vehicle of Jean-Michel Aulas, a leading figure in French sports business and the long-time historical leader of Olympique Lyonnais. Within Eagle Football Group, Holnest remains a meaningful shareholder, holding 4,243,206 shares, or 2.41% of share capital and 2.77% of voting rights as of June 30, 2025. This stake underlines Holnest’s continuing relevance in the capital structure and governance history of the club now operating as Eagle Football Group. Over several decades, Jean-Michel Aulas established himself as one of the most influential executives in European football. He built and chaired OL Groupe through a long period of growth, developing an integrated business model around football, stadium operations, events, sponsorship, media rights and player trading. The company later changed its name to Eagle Football Group in 2024, while remaining organized around Olympique Lyonnais. During the ownership and governance restructuring involving Eagle Football Holdings Bidco, Holnest was part of the key agreements concluded in late 2022 and 2023. The group’s regulatory filings state that, under the new shareholder arrangements, two directors were to be nominated by Holnest as long as it held at least 3.5% of share capital and voting rights, and that Jean-Michel Aulas was to be appointed honorary chairman as long as he remained a board member. This shows Holnest’s role as a continuity shareholder, a governance anchor, and a bridge between the club’s legacy and its new strategic phase. In terms of expertise, Holnest reflects a long-term approach focused on valuing sports and media assets, structuring shareholder agreements, negotiating refinancings and supporting complex ownership transitions. Jean-Michel Aulas’s background in value creation, stakeholder management and transformation is a distinctive asset. Holnest is therefore associated with disciplined governance, financial stewardship and the evolution of a sports brand into a diversified football group.
