At the end of the 2000s, the Groupe Le Monde was in serious debt and had to establish a recapitalization plan. Pierre Bergé joined Xavier Niel, founder of the French telecom company Free, and the investment banker Matthieu Pigasse in becoming majority shareholders in the group. He was named president of the supervisory board in December 2010.
