Atos to sell its entire stake in
Worldline
Paris, France
– June 13,
2022 - Atos
intends to sell its entire stake in Worldline of ca. 7.0 million
shares representing ca. 2.5% of Worldline’s share capital. The sale
will be carried out by way of an accelerated book building to
institutional investors commencing immediately (the
“Placement”).
Atos will concomitantly enter into a derivative
transaction with Goldman Sachs Bank Europe SE to hedge its residual
exposure to Worldline’s shares related to the outstanding
exchangeable bonds due 2024 which were issued in 2019. Goldman
Sachs Europe Bank SE as counterparty for the derivative will hedge
its short position in connection therewith by purchasing Worldline
shares in the Placement, through the placing of an order in the
order book.
Following completion of the Placement, Atos will
no longer be a shareholder of Worldline.
Goldman Sachs Bank Europe SE is acting as sole
bookrunner for the Placement and counterparty for the derivative.
Rothschild & Co is acting as financial advisor.
The final terms of the Placement are expected to
be announced on June 14, 2022 at the latest. Settlement of the
Placement is expected to take place on or around June 16,
2022.
