In an update to the market, Atos announces an adaptation of its strategy, 'taking into account financial constraints in order to ensure the repayment and refinancing of its financial debts while maintaining an attractive business mix'.

The Group is pursuing exclusive negotiations with EPEI on the sale of Tech Foundations, and intends to implement an additional asset disposal program, including the BDS activities, for which a due diligence phase will be opened with Airbus.

In parallel, discussions are being held with banks to maintain financing and grant refinancing. Should the outcome of these discussions prove uncertain, Atos does not rule out the use of legal protection mechanisms.

'During the first quarter of 2024, Atos will examine whether these measures are sufficient to cover financing maturities and cash requirements on a long-term basis', it adds.

The IT services group also announces a reduction in the initially planned size of Eviden's capital increase, 'necessary in view of changing market conditions and reactions'.

Finally, Atos announces a change in the composition of its Board of Directors with the appointments of Françoise Mercadal-Delasalles and Jean-Jacques Morin, who strengthen its skills in finance and major transformation projects.
