It’s nothing. Atos will not fall under the flag of Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky. Despite final pressure, the board of directors of the IT giant of 105,000 employees rejected this Monday evening the offer of the rising figure of European capitalism who built his fortune in fossil fuels and the Eustream gas pipeline and to whom so far nothing has resisted, from Fnac Darty to Casino, Tyssenkrupp and Royal Mail. For the second time, the businessman will have seen the door of Atos closed, after his failure in February and despite months of negotiations, of his attempt to take over the outsourcing of Atos. A definitive veto, barring another change of heart.
When contacted, Atos did not wish to comment and reserves its communication for the next few hours.
