Combined proceeds from the group\u2019s gradual sell-down of Galderma shares now exceed CHF 20 bn (USD 25.4 bn)<\/strong>, implying a return of more than four times the capital invested when the consortium acquired the business from Nestl\u00e9 SA in 2019. The transaction marks the final step in the exit process, reportedly codenamed Project Indigo, that was upsized twice due to robust demand.<\/p>\n
