Oakley Capital invests in leading Italian healthcare insurance service
provider ONHC

Oakley Capital, a leading pan-European, mid-market private equity investor, is
pleased to announce that Oakley Capital Fund V ("the Fund") is investing in
ONHC ("the Company"), Italy's leading provider of private healthcare insurance
services. The investment is being made through Oakley's insurance services
platform, Tiger HoldCo ("Tiger"). Oakley is investing alongside founder and
CEO Filippo Ceppellini and his management team, who will continue to lead the
Company.

Founded in Genoa in 2007, ONHC is a specialist service provider in Italy's
private healthcare insurance sector. The Company offers a comprehensive,
full-service offering that spans consulting, product development,
intermediation, underwriting, and third-party administration.

Healthcare spending in Italy is increasingly shifting towards the private
sector, driven by the country's rapidly ageing population and mounting
pressure on the public health system. At the same time, Italy remains
underinsured compared to other European countries, with low private healthcare
coverage.

ONHC has delivered strong organic growth in recent years thanks to its
reputation as a trusted partner, its deep industry expertise, broad product
offering and a highly experienced management team. The Company has
partnerships with Italy's largest healthcare insurance carriers.

This will be the first acquisition by Tiger
(https://www.oakleycapital.com/news-and-insights/oakley-capital-launches-european-insurance-services-platform-appoints-industry-leader-enrico-vanin-as-ceo)
, which focuses on high-growth businesses in the fragmented, commercial
speciality insurance space across Southern Europe. ONHC will benefit from the
platform's network of leading industry advisors and operators including
insurance services veteran Enrico Vanin. Vanin spent almost 20 years at
insurance broker AON before joining Tiger as Chief Executive Officer. He is
co-investing in the platform alongside Oakley and will lead Tiger's M&A
strategy in Southern Europe. The team will support ONHC's next phase of growth
by expanding its client base, broadening its service offering, and leveraging
Oakley's buy-and-build expertise to drive strategic M&A in Italy's
fragmented market for healthcare insurance services.

The investment in ONHC follow's Oakley's separate acquisition in 2024 of
Konzept & Marketing, a leading independent Managing General Agent in the
German personal, non-life insurance market.

Peter Dubens, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Oakley Capital, said: "We are
backing a proven, founder-led team that has built a successful business in an
attractive insurance services market. We look forward to supporting Filippo
and his team as they further scale ONHC by taking advantage of the structural
growth drivers in Italy's fragmented market for healthcare insurance
services."

Filippo Ceppellini, Founder and CEO of ONHC, said: "In Oakley, we have found a
partner who can help us take full advantage of the significant consolidation
opportunities we see in Italy and abroad, by leveraging their expertise in
M&A and in particular their impressive track-record expanding the
footprint of businesses in Southern Europe."

Enrico Vanin, CEO of Tiger HoldCo, said: "We are pleased to welcome ONHC as
the first acquisition within the Tiger HoldCo platform. ONHC is a
well-established business with a broad product offering and strong
relationships across the Italian insurance market. The Company is uniquely
positioned to benefit from the country's ongoing shift towards private
healthcare. By leveraging Tiger HoldCo's extensive network, we will work
alongside Filippo and his team to drive ONHC's next phase of growth and unlock
its full potential."
