    The Company reminds that the implementation of the financial restructuring will result in massive dilution for Atos existing shareholders, who would, if they do not participate in the proposed capital increases, hold less than 0.1% of the share capital.

    The opening of the accelerated safeguard proceedings will imply a further downgrade, for technical reasons, of Atos credit rating, which currently stands at CCC-. The Company believes its credit rating should gradually improve after the completion of its financial restructuring and remains confident on its objective to reach a BB credit rating by 2026 year-end.

    Strong participation of the Bondholders and to the New Financings

    Following its press release dated July 15, 2024, Atos announces that a new syndication period opened to Bondholders4 at June 14, 2024, after close of market (the “Record Date”) for subscription to the Bondholders New Financings was successfully closed.

    At the close of this syndication period, 67% of Bondholders at the Record Date contributed to the New Secured Financings, which includes:

    Up to €837.5 million commitment in the form of a new bond issue; and
    €75 million in the form of backstop in cash of the Rights Issue.

    Participants to the Bondholders New Financings have joined the Lock Up Agreement in support of the Company’s financial restructuring plan.

    As mentioned in its press release of 15 July 2024, the New Financings to be provided by the Banks (as detailed below) was fully subscribed at the end of the syndication that closed on 11 July 2024 by a group of Banks that executed the Lock Up Agreement.

    This syndication marks the completion of the target New Financings of €1,750 million, allocated between the Banks5 and the Bondholders at the Record Date as follows:

    Up to €837.5 million by the Banks (consisting of up to €337.5 million in the form of a term loan, circa €440 million in Revolving Credit facility (RCF) and circa €60 million in bank guarantees);
    Up to €837.5 million by Bondholders in the form of a new bond issue;
    €75 million by Bondholders in the form of backstop in cash of the Rights Issue.

    Jean Pierre Mustier appointed Atos CEO in addition to his role as Chairman

    The opening of the accelerated safeguard proceedings marks the completion of an important step in the financial restructuring process of Atos and the start of a new era of recovery and development.

    In this context, Paul Saleh has decided to leave the Group and has presented his resignation to the Board of Directors, which has accepted it with immediate effect. The Board expresses its sincere thanks to Paul Saleh, salutes his commitment and contributions during the past year, and wishes him the best for his future endeavors.

    Upon proposal from the Nomination Committee, the Board of Directors of Atos has unanimously voted favorably on the appointment of Jean-Pierre Mustier, previously Chairman of the Board of Directors, as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, with immediate effect.

    Next steps

    The voting of classes of affected parties is intended to take place by the end of September 2024.

    The hearing before the Specialized Commercial Court of Nanterre for the approval of the accelerated safeguard plan is intended to take place on October 15, 2024.

    Following the Court approval, the plan will be implemented through several capital increases and debt issuances from November 2024 until January 2025.

    The Company will inform the market in due course of the next steps of its financial restructuring.

    Implementation of the proposed financial restructuring plan will result in massive dilution of Atos existing shareholders

    Paris, France – September 2, 2024 – Atos SE (“Atos” or the “Company”) announces today an update of the financial projections for the 2024-2027 period to reflect H1 2024 results, the current business environment and the expected impact on the Group free cash flow. Atos previously published its 2024-2027 business plan on April 29, 2024 as part of its financial restructuring process.

    The updated business plan is based on the current Group perimeter.

    20244

    Group 2024 revenue of €9.7 billion compares with €9.8 billion communicated previously and represents an organic revenue evolution of circa -4.0% compared with 2023, and circa -3.3% compared with the business plan communicated on April 29, 2024.

    Group Operating margin of €0.2 billion, or 2.4% of revenue, compared with €0.3 billion, or 2.9% of revenue, communicated previously.

    Change in cash before debt repayment of €-0.8 billion compared with €-0.6 billion communicated previously. It excludes the full unwind of the working capital actions of circa €1.8 billion as of December 31, 2023, which will be covered from cash on the balance sheet.

    20275

    The Group’s revenue of €10.6 million in 2027 compares with €11.0 billion communicated previously and represents a revenue CAGR6 of +1.2% over the 2023PF7-2027 period, compared with circa +2.3% communicated on April 29, 2024.

    The Group Operating margin of €1.0 billion, or 9.4% of revenue, compared with €1.1 billion, or 9.9% of revenue, communicated previously.

    Change in cash before debt repayment of €0.4 billion compares with €0.3 billion communicated previously.

    On a like for like comparison basis8, cumulated change in cash before debt repayment over the 2024 – 2027 period amounts to €-528 million compared with €-194 million in the business plan dated April 29, 2024.

    Key revisions to business plan hypothesis

    The updated business plan takes into account current business trends and softer market conditions in some of the Group’s key regions, as evidenced as well across the industry. It also reflects the impact of some contract terminations and delays in award of new contracts and add-on work, as clients await the final implementation of the Group’s financial restructuring plan, which is expected, following the vote of classes of affected parties and the Court approval on the plan, early 2025.

    In particular:

    The updated business plan for Digital & Cloud reflects the return of positive organic revenue growth to July 2025 given the short commercial cycle and the termination of two large accounts.
    BDS’ business plan was revised downwards to align with the current business momentum; the seasonality of change in working capital requirement was updated to reflect the planned delivery cycle of HPCs (High-Performance Computers).
    The updated business plan for Tech Foundations includes the impact of contract terminations or lower scope of work as well as future client activity expectations.
    Cash interest expense was decreased to reflect the financial terms & conditions of the financial restructuring9.

    The updated business plan is presented in Appendix 1 together with a reminder of the business plan dated April 29, 2024.

    Consequence of the updated business plan adjustment on liquidity, cash flow generation and financial leverage

    Liquidity needs

    Liquidity needs for 2024 and 2025 (cumulative) is €1.1 billion and within the New Financings10 of €1.75 billion committed by a group of banks and a group of bondholders as part of the financial restructuring of the Company.

    Cash flow recovery

    The Group is expected to turn free cash flow positive in 2026.

    While 2026 Free Cash Flow is expected to be c.€215 million lower than previously planned, the Group still expects to turn free cash flow positive in 2026 with a change in cash position before debt repayment positive at €138 million11.

    Financial leverage and credit rating

    Assuming a full take up of the €233 million Rights Issue, as part of the implementation of the financial restructuring plan, the Group now expects its leverage ratio to be 2.95x at the end of 2026, versus circa 2.0x previously.

    At the end of 2027, financial leverage would be below 2.0x, meaning that the 2.0x target originally planned for end-2026 would be reached in the course of 2027.

    In view of the updated business plan, the targeted re-rating of the Company (targeting a BB credit profile) would still occur in the course of 2027, ahead of the first maturity date of the new money debt (maturing end-2029), which refinancing should take place during 2028.

    Next steps

    The update of the business plan has no impact on the financial restructuring calendar previously communicated:

    The voting of classes of affected parties is intended to take place on September 27, 2024.
    The hearing before the Specialized Commercial Court of Nanterre for the approval of the accelerated safeguard plan is intended to take place on October 15, 2024.
    Once approved by the Court, the plan is expected to be executed from November 2024 until January 2025, and to lead to the equitization of €2.8 billion of debt, the reception of the €1.5 to €1.675 billion new money debt and the €233 million rights issue already backstopped in cash by financial bondholders for €75 million and by the creditors participating in the new financings by set off against a portion of their debts for €100 million, as previously communicated.
    Following Court approval on the plan, the Group is confident on its ability to successfully close those transactions.

    The Company will inform the market in due course of the next steps of its financial restructuring.

    Update: Atos rekent op minder omzet
    02-sep-2024 09:09

    Basisvoorwaarden reddingsplan intact.

    (ABM FN-Dow Jones) Atos verwacht dit jaar de omzet iets sterker te zien krimpen dan eerder aangekondigd in zijn financiële herstructureringsplan, terwijl ook de marge lager uitvalt. Hiervoor waarschuwde het noodlijdende Franse IT-bedrijf maandagochtend.

    De update, op basis van de resultaten van het eerste halfjaar, heeft geen invloed op de belangrijkste voorwaarden van het reddingsplan dat door een meerderheid van de schuldeisers is overeengekomen.

    De aanpassing hangen samen met een zwakker marktklimaat in sommige kernregio's, die ook elders in de sector zichtbaar zijn, en deels ook met het verlies van contracten en uitstel bij nieuwe contracten, in afwachting van het reddingsplan, dat begin 2025 moet zijn afgerond.

    Atos voorziet inmiddels een omzetdaling van 4,0 procent tot 9,7 miljard euro dit jaar, waar eerder nog op 9,8 miljard euro werd gerekend. De operationele marge zal niet op 2,9 procent, maar op 2,4 procent uitkomen.

    De omzetgroei tot en met 2027 zal geen samengestelde jaarlijkse groei van 2,7 procent, maar van 1,2 procent bedragen, verwacht Atos. De negatieve kasstroom over die periode stijgt van 194 miljoen naar 528 miljoen euro.

    Atos rekent nog steeds op een positieve kasstroom in 2026, hoewel minder dan eerder voorzien. De schuldratio zal niet in 2026 onder 2,0 dalen maar pas in de loop van 2027, meldde het bedrijf verder.

    Op 27 september stemmen betrokken partijen over de reddingsoperatie, gevolgd door een hoorzitting in de rechtbank op 15 oktober. Na de goedkeuring volgen de geplande kapitaalverhogingen en uitgiftes van schuldpapier in november, december en januari. De belangen van de aandeelhouders van Atos zullen dan sterk verwateren.

    Atos ontving een reddingsvoorstel van Bain Capital, van miljardair Daniel Kretinsky in samenwerking met Attestor Limited en van One Point van David Layani in samenwerking met Butler Industries. De tweede partij trok zich terug, maar de eerste partij zou nog bereid zijn, meldde Atos in juni.

    Update: om informatie toe te voegen.

    Door: ABM Financial News.

    Klinkt allemaal heel mooi dat reddingsplan, echter de laatste maanden is het huidige personeel ook bezig met een reddingsplan, te weten dat van henzelf. Iedereen gaat of wil daar weg.
    Kortom, er is momenteel sprake van een enorme "brain drain" waardoor Atos van binnenuit verder wordt uitgehold. Dit bedrijf is ten dode opgeschreven.
    Niemand wil daar meer werken. jaren geleden hebben ze de vakbonden er al uitgeschopt en het personeel jaren lang veel te weinig salarisverhoging ( lees inflatie compensatie) toegekend.
    Kortom, geen personeel = geen continuiteit bij klanten. Adieu Atos.

    Very strong support of Atos SE’ shareholders and financial creditors meeting as classes of affected parties vote on the draft accelerated safeguard plan

    Favorable vote of all classes of affected parties of the draft accelerated safeguard plan

    As planned, the draft accelerated safeguard plan will be presented to the commercial court on October 15, 2024

    Paris, France – September 27, 2024 – Atos SE (“Atos” or the “Company”) announces today that Atos’ shareholders and financial creditors, meeting as classes of affected parties, have strongly supported the proposed draft accelerated safeguard plan (the “Draft Plan”) and that all of the three classes of affected parties have voted in favor of the Draft Plan by the required majority (more than 2/3 of the votes cast).

    Maître Hélène Bourbouloux and Maître Thibaut Martinat, in their capacity as judicial administrators of Atos, have transmitted to Atos the results of the vote of all classes of affected parties on Atos’ Draft Plan, which are set out in the Schedule 1 to this press release, and are as follows:

    the class of financial unsecured claims n°1 voted in favor of the Draft Plan by 100.00% of the votes cast;
    the class of financial unsecured claims n°2 voted in favor of the Draft Plan by 97.64% of the votes cast;
    the class of shareholders voted in favor of the Draft Plan by 75.03% of the votes cast.

    Next steps

    Pursuant to the provisions of article L. 626-31 of the French Code de commerce, the Company will apply to the specialized Commercial Court of Nanterre (the “Court”) for approval of the Draft Plan.

    The hearing is intended to take place on October 15, 2024 and the judgment ruling on the Draft Plan can be expected by the end of October 2024.

    If the Court considers that the legal conditions are met and approves the Draft Plan, it will be enforceable against all parties, including any affected party having voted against it. This will allow Atos to implement its financial restructuring as planned, in accordance with its corporate interest.

    The transactions provided under the Draft Plan are expected to be executed from November 2024 until December 2024/January 20251 and to lead to, in particular:

    the equitization of €2.9 billion of debt; and
    the receipt of €1.5 to €1.675 billion of new money debt and the new money equity resulting from the rights issue (up to €233 million) already backstopped in cash by participating bondholders for €75 million and by the creditors participating in the new financings by set off against a portion of their debts for €100 million, as previously communicated and, as the case may be, from the potential voluntary subscription in cash by the participating creditors of up to €75 million as part of the Potential Capital Increase as provided in the Draft Plan.

    The main characteristics of the share capital transactions to be implemented as part of the Draft Plan are described in the document entitled “Main terms and conditions of the share capital transactions carried out as part of the Company’s financial restructuring plan” (Principales modalités des opérations sur le capital mises en œuvre dans le cadre du plan de restructuration financière de la Société) published on the Company’s website (section “Financial Restructuring”) on September 6, 2024 and updated on September 16, 2024. These share capital transactions will be covered by prospectus submitted to the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) for approval.

    The Company will continue to inform the market in due course of the next steps of its financial restructuring.

    Een vorige (qua het aantal nieuwe aandelen per oud aandeel) grote Franse emissie met miljarden aandelen was die van emeis (ex-Orpéa), en dat sloopte toen met succes een Franse index door de extreme volatiliteit tijdens de verhandelbaarheid van de claims. O.a. met correcties achteraf. Atos zit in de CAC Mid 60, onder de CAC Large 60 c.q. de CAC 40 en de CAC Next 20. Ik meen dat Euronext van die ervaring heeft geleerd, omdat een index toch een beetje een brede stemming moet weergeven en niet een onzinnige stijging van een zwaargewicht van bijvoorbeeld € 0,0001 naar € 0,0007. Dan gaat je index zomaar richting 10%+ erbij, door een centicentenaandeel, vóór de reverse split van die tientallen miljarden aandelen.

    REGULATION (EU) 2017/1129 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL OF JUNE 14, 2017
    As a reminder, the operations planned as part of the Accelerated Safeguard Plan include notably
    (i) the conversion into equity of €2.9 billion (principal amount) of existing financial debts, (ii) the
    reinstallation in the form of new debts maturing after 6 years of €1.95 billion of existing financial
    debts, (iii) excluding instruments put in place to meet the needs for issuing bank guarantees, the
    receipt of €1.5 billion of new preferred financings (new money debt) and new equity (new money
    equity) resulting from the Rights Issue (up to €233 million), which is guaranteed up to €75 million
    in cash by participating bondholders and up to €100 million by creditors participating in the new
    preferred financings through the offsetting of part of their claims, (iv) for an amount of €0.25
    billion of new preferred financings (new money debts in the form of RCF and guarantee line)
    dedicated to meeting the needs for bank guarantees, and, (v) if applicable, the potential additional
    voluntary subscription in cash by participating creditors up to €75 million as part of a potential
    capital increase as provided for in the Accelerated Safeguard Plan.
    In accordance with the terms of the Accelerated Safeguard Plan, the Company’s Board of Directors
    decided, on November 6, 2024, on a capital reduction motivated by losses, by reducing the par
    value of the Company’s shares from €1.00 to €0.0001 per share (the “Share Capital
    Reduction”), subject to the condition precedent of the Chief Executive Officer’ decision, acting
    upon delegation from the Board of Directors, to issue the New Shares as part of the Rights Issue,
    which will take place, according to the indicative timetable, on November 28, 2024. As a result
    of the Capital Reduction, which will become effective from that date, the Company’s share capital
    will amount to €11,213.6778, divided into 112,136,778 Shares with a par value of €0.0001 each
    and the amount of the Share Capital Reduction, i.e. €112,125,564.3222, will be allocated to a
    special unavailable reserve account.
    Main Terms of the Rights Issue
    The Rights Issue will be carried out pursuant to the 2nd resolution attached to the Accelerated
    Safeguard Plan, and will result in the issue of 63,062,910,405 new ordinary shares (the “New
    Shares”), at a subscription price of €0.0037 per New Share (i.e. €0.0001 nominal value and
    €0.0036 issue premium), to be fully paid up upon subscription, representing gross proceeds,
    including the issue premium, of €233,332,768.4985.
    Each shareholder will receive one (1) Right per each share held in a securities account as at the
    close of trading of November 13, 2024. In order to allow the registration in the securities account
    as of such date, the execution of purchases in the market of existing shares must occur on
    November 11, 2024 at the latest. 24 Rights held will entitle their holder to subscribe on an
    irreducible basis (à titre irréductible) for 13,497 New Shares. Thus, a shareholder holding 24
    existing shares will be able to subscribe to 13,497 New Shares at a subscription price of €0.0037
    (including the issue premium) par New Share. Rights will be detached from existing shares on
    November 12, 2024 and existing shares will thus be tradeable ex-rights from November 12, 2024,
    according to the indicative calendar.
    Subscriptions on a reducible basis (à titre réductible) will be accepted but will be subject to
    reduction in the event of oversubscription. Any New Shares not absorbed on an irreducible basis
    will be allocated and distributed to holders of Rights having submitted additional subscription
    orders on a reducible basis subject to reduction in the event of oversubscription.
    Based on the closing price of the Atos shares on the regulated market of Euronext in Paris
    (“Euronext-Paris”) on November 6, 2024, i.e. €0.6600, and on the subscription price of €0.0037
    per New Share (i.e. €0.0001 of nominal value and €0.0036 of issue premium), the theoretical
    value of one (1) Right is €0.6551, the theoretical ex-right price of the share is €0.0049. For
    indicative purposes, the subscription price reflects a discount of 23.95% to the theoretical ex-
    right share price (calculated on the closing price on November 6, 2024) and 99.44% to the Atos’
    share closing price on November 6, 2024.

    NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES, CANADA, AUSTRALIA OR
    JAPAN.

    REGULATION (EU) 2017/1129 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL OF JUNE 14, 2017
    These values do not necessarily reflect the value of the Rights during their trading period, the ex-
    right price of an existing share of the Company or the discounts, as determined in the market. A
    potentially very low value of the Right could be likely to significantly impact its liquidity and thus
    make it difficult to trade.
    The Rights Issue will be open to the public in France only.
    Use of Proceeds
    The proceeds of the issue will be used to finance the Group’s general corporate purposes, and in
    particular the financing of its business plan, as updated by the Company on September 2, 2024,
    with a view to achieving a BB credit rating profile target by 2027 and a gross debt reduction of
    €3.2 billion.
    Indicative Timetable of the Rights Issue
    The Rights will be detached on November 12, 2024 and tradeable from November 12, 2024 until
    November 21, 20241 inclusive on Euronext Paris under ISIN code FR001400THA4.
    The subscription period for the New Shares will be open from November 14, 2024 until close of
    trading on November 25, 2024. Unexercised Rights will automatically lapse at the end of the
    subscription period, i.e. on November 25, 2024 at the close of trading.
    The settlement-delivery of the New Shares and their admission to trading on Euronext Paris are
    expected to take place on December 6, 2024, according to the indicative timetable. The New
    Shares will immediately entitle their holders to receive dividends declared by the Company as
    from the date of issuance. They will be immediately assimilated with existing shares of the
    Company already traded on Euronext Paris and will be tradable, as from this date, on the same
    trading line under the same ISIN code FR0000051732.
    Backstop Commitment
    Under the term of the Accelerated Safeguard Plan, the participating creditors have committed to
    backstop up to a maximum amount of €175 million as follows:
    - In priority, up to €75 million in cash by the participating bondholders (pro rata to their
    final commitment to finance the new money bonds);
    - On a second-ranking basis, up to €100 million through offset of claims against a €100
    million portion of the unsecured financial debts held by the participating creditors.
    These backstop commitments of the participating creditors do not constitute a “garantie de bonne
    fin” within the meaning of article L.225-145 of the French Code de commerce.
    The Chairman of the Board of Directors, Philippe Salle, has also committed to subscribe to the
    Rights Issue for a total amount of €9 million. Philippe Salle has also undertaken to the Company
    to hold the New Shares acquired as part of the Rights Issue, for a period of 180 calendar days
    following the settlement-delivery date of the Rights Issue, subject to certain customary
    exceptions.
    Theoretical Market Capitalisation after the Completion of the Accelerated Safeguard
    Plan
    For illustrative purposes only, based on the number of shares comprised in the share capital of
    the Company after completion of the Accelerated Safeguard Plan and completion of all the
    Financial Restructuring Capital Increases, i.e. 244,895,634,350 shares, and retaining a
    theoretical stock price of the Atos share post the first Rights Issue, i.e. €0.0049 (for illustrative
    1 Due to processing delays, custodians may bring forward the cut-off dates and hours for receiving their clients’
    instructions in respect of their Rights. In this regard, custodians must inform their clients through corporate event
    notices and the relevant investors are invited to contact their custodians.

    purposes – as a reminder, the closing price of the Atos share is €0.6600 on November 6 , 2024),
    the Company’s theoretical market capitalisation after completion of the Accelerated Safeguard
    Plan would amount to approximately €906 million.
    Dilution
    The implementation of the Rights Issue under the Accelerated Safeguard Plan will result in a
    significant dilution for the existing shareholders.
    For illustrative purposes only, a shareholder holding 1% of the Company’s share capital who does
    not participate in the Rights Issue, would hold 0.0018% of the share capital following the Rights
    Issue assuming a full subscription by the existing shareholders (please refer to Scenario 1) (and
    0.0005% post the implementation of the Accelerated Safeguard Plan) and 0.0022% of the share
    capital in the context of a full exercise of the backstop commitment by the participating creditors
    without additional subscriptions (please refer to Scenario 2) (and 0.0006% post the
    implementation of the Accelerated Safeguard Plan). A pro-rata subscription would enable the
    participating shareholder to hold 0.2580% of the capital post the implementation of the
    Accelerated Safeguard Plan and the completion of all the financial restructuring transactions
    (including (i) the three equitizations reserved capital increases2 (together with the Rights Issue,
    the “Financial Restructuring Capital Increases”) and (ii) the Warrants issuance). Calculations
    are based on the number of shares comprised in the Company’s share capital as of the date of
    the Prospectus as well as on the completion of the Share Capital Reduction provided for in the
    Accelerated Safeguard Plan, which should lead to a reduction in the par value of the Company's
    shares from €1.00 to €0.0001 per share.
    The dilution impact of the completion all the Financial Restructuring Capital Increases and the
    BSA issuance contemplated by the Accelerated Safeguard Plan is described b
