    to underwrite, pro rata to their Bonds’ holding at the Record Date, the portion of New Secured Financings allocated to Bondholders not subscribed at the end of the syndication period.
    for a period of ten business days following the signature of the lock-up agreement, Bondholders will have the opportunity to subscribe, pro rata only to their Bonds’ holding at the Record Date, to the New Secured Financings allocated to Bondholders.

    For the Banks, syndication of New Equity Financings will be carried out as follows:

    Next steps

    As indicated in its press release of June 26, 2024, the Company expects that:

    The lock-up agreement allowing all financial creditors to support the proposed restructuring plan would be expected during the week starting July 8; and
    The accession to the lock-up agreement would be open from the week starting July 8 to the week ending July 22.

    The definitive financial restructuring agreement with the financial creditors would then be implemented through a dedicated accelerated procedure[11] from the week starting July 22.

    The restructuring operations will then be implemented during the second half of 2024 with a view to effective completion by the end of 2024 / Q1 2025.

    De worst die Atos de aandeelhouders dus lijkt voor te houden is dat ze voor een relatief bescheiden investering van €233 mln een belang kunnen krijgen dat grofweg €1,5 mrd waard zou zijn.

    Het blijft een risico, natuurlijk. Atos is niet voor niks in de problemen gekomen. Het bedrijf heeft te veel overnames gedaan. Wie zegt dat het klaar is met de afwaarderingen? Maar de keuze tussen vrijwel zeker alles kwijt zijn of een ‘bescheiden’ gokje wagen op een mogelijk vette worst is niet ingewikkeld.

    IT-bedrijf Atos is volop in het nieuws, of het dat nu wil of niet. De beoogde overname van het Franse bedrijf lijkt eindelijk een realiteit te worden. In deze Techzine-liveblog lees je over de nieuwste ontwikkelingen omtrent Atos.

    5 juli – Het Franse techbedrijf heeft nieuwe financiering geregeld. Via twee losse afspraken komt er op de korte termijn geld beschikbaar om wat lucht te krijgen. “Deze extra tranches van 225 miljoen euro (243,41 miljoen dollar) en 350 miljoen euro aan doorlopende kredietfaciliteiten zijn onderworpen aan een wijziging van de eerder verstrekte faciliteiten door een groep obligatiehouders, die naar verwachting binnenkort zal worden ondertekend”, aldus Atos.

    Het is de bedoeling om nog een groter herstructureringsplan rond te krijgen. Atos bevestigt nogmaals later deze maand een finale overeenkomst te bereiken rond dit plan. Ook wordt er gewerkt aan een deal met banken over een bedrag van 1,5 miljard euro.

    1 juli – De obligatiehouders en kredietverstrekkers van Atos hebben een overeenkomst met het bedrijf bereikt. 2,9 miljard euro aan schulden worden omgezet in aandelen, terwijl 233 miljoen euro aan Atos zal worden verstrekt. Er blijft 1,68 miljard euro schuld openstaan, meldt Bloomberg. Een rechtbank gespecialiseerd in commerciële zaken moet nog wel goedkeuring verlenen.

    Mocht er goedkeuring komen, dan zou EPEI van zakenman Daniel Kretinsky buiten de boot vallen. Die investeringsgroep is nog de enige externe optie voor financiering van Atos, nadat Onepoint vorige week was afgehaakt en verschillende andere partijen al eerder. Het lijkt er momenteel op dat Atos liever de huidige investeerders de macht overhandigt dan om in zee te gaan met een andere partij.

    26 juni – Nadat eindelijk duidelijk leek te worden wie Atos over zou nemen, is het plan opnieuw gewijzigd. Een overnamedeal door Onepoint is afgeketst. EP Equity Investment (EPEI) van Tsjechisch zakenman Daniel Kretinsky is bereid opnieuw te onderhandelen over een overname. Eerder koos Atos voor Onepoint boven EPEI omdat Onepoint van plan was Atos bij elkaar te houden onder het zogeheten “One Atos”-initiatief. Nu blijft het nog altijd giswerk hoe het nieuwe Atos eruit gaat zien en of het bedrijf wordt opgesplitst.

    21 juni – Wie de beurswaarde van Atos de laatste dagen in de gaten houdt, ziet een opmerkelijke fluctuatie hierin. Op donderdag ging het Atos-aandeel 46 procent in de lift. Atos-aandelen dreigen echter nagenoeg waardeloos te worden nu de Franse IT-leverancier heeft aangekondigd nieuwe aandelen te creëren om de schuld te reduceren.

    Deze frappante koersstijging heeft twee oorzaken, aangestipt door Bloomberg. Zogeheten ‘short-sellers’, die erop gokten dat Atos verder in waarde zou zakken, hebben inmiddels massaal hun winsten laten uitkeren. Ondertussen praten online investeerders op Boursorama.com over weinig anders dan Atos, die tegen de stroom in zwemmen van de short-sellers en speculeren op forse koersstijgingen. Zij stellen dat de aandelen van het IT-bedrijf te laag worden ingeschat. In tegenstelling tot eerdere ‘meme stock’ GameStop, dat door gebruikers van het Reddit-subforum WallStreetBets een heropleving kreeg, komen de short sellers echter niet in de problemen. Dit is omdat deze individuen doorgaans al veel eerder hun ‘short bets’ hadden ingezet, toen Atos nog veel meer waard was.

    14 juni – De Franse overheid doet een bod van 700 miljoen euro op strategisch relevante onderdelen van Atos. De zogeheten BDS-business unit is het doelwit. Dit onderdeel richt zich op supercomputers, mission-critical systemen en cybersecurity.
