New poker move from Daniel Kretinsky in the rescue of Atos. Wednesday evening, at the end of the board of directors of the former IT flagship, its 95,000 employees expected to finally be decided on who, the Czech businessman or their first shareholder David Layani would take the reins . Wasted effort.
The billionaire submitted a new offer, and after intense negotiations and pressure between his allies, the Attestor fund and BNP Paribas, the other creditors and the IT giant, the board of directors postponed its final decision until the beginning of next week. “The conciliator requested additional time in order to maximize the support of the company’s financial creditors for their preferred proposal,” Atos said in its press release, without reference to the Czech businessman’s new proposal. The final choice will therefore not be made before the European elections, which will avoid having to manage another front for the executive.
