Abstract

(VF)Cet article s’interroge sur le lien entre la participation des capital-investisseurs (CI) à la gouvernance et la performance des entreprises introduites en bourse. À partir d’un échantillon de 267 sociétés françaises financées par capital-investissement, s’introduisant en bourse sur le marché français entre 1997 et 2013, nous étudions plus précisément dans quelle mesure la présence des CI dans la structure de propriété et la syndication, leur représentation dans le conseil d’administration et la mise en place d’un financement séquentiel ont une incidence sur le niveau de performance des sociétés financées. Nos résultats montrent l’importance de la syndication puisqu’elle apparaît comme le seul mécanisme de gouvernance associé à la performance des entreprises introduites. En outre, d’autres facteurs déterminant la réussite de l’opération à savoir la réputation de la banque intermédiaire, le type de procédure ainsi que la taille de l’émission en ressortent significatifs. Ce résultat met en relief le rôle indirect des CI dans la performance des entreprises introduites.(VA)This study focuses on the involvement of venture capital firms in the corporate governance structure and the impact on the performance level of venture backed IPOs. Using a sample of 267 French venture backed initial public offerings (IPOs) on the French stock exchange market, we examine to what extent the presence of venture capital firms in the ownership structure and the syndicate, their representation at the board of directors and the use of stage financing, may affect the performance level of venture backed IPOs. Our findings suggest that syndication is relevant as it appears as the only corporate governance mechanism positively associated with the performance level of venture backed companies. Additionally, we show the indirect role of venture capital firms in structuring the IPO’s transaction in terms of the listing procedure, the setting up of the offer price defining the market capitalization or the underwriter choice, determinant factors of the performance of venture backed IPOs.
