Paris, France
– June
14,
2022 - Atos has
completed the sale of its entire stake in Worldline of ca. 7.0
million shares representing ca. 2.5% of Worldline’s share capital.
The sale was carried out by way of an accelerated book building to
institutional investors (the “Placement”).
Atos has concomitantly entered into a derivative
transaction to hedge its residual exposure to Worldline’s shares
related to the outstanding exchangeable bonds due 2024, which were
issued in 2019.
As a result of the Placement and derivative
transaction, Atos has raised net proceeds of ca. €220 million and
will no longer be a shareholder of Worldline.
Goldman Sachs Bank Europe SE acted as sole
bookrunner for the Placement and counterparty for the derivative.
Rothschild & Co acted as financial advisor.
