Distressed IT consulting firm Atos has given itself until Wednesday to choose between two revised restructuring proposals that would dilute its current shareholders to almost nothing and massively cut its debt burden. The two rival offers - one led by Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky, the other by Atos' anchor investor David Layani - are "generally consistent" with the conditions set by Atos, the French company said in a statement on Monday. These include a reduction of Atos' 4.8 billion euro ($5.21 billion) in debt and new financing, it said, adding that details of the two revised offers would be published on its website.
Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky is looking at options to try to persuade creditors to side with him in the battle for Atos, a source close to the matter said, as the distressed IT firm seeks a debt restructuring plan by May 31. One option being considered would be to allow creditors to own shares in Atos' legacy IT infrastructure management services business, the source said. The move would give creditors economic exposure to the emerging entity.
The European Central Bank holds about 20% of French IT consulting firm Atos' bonds, making it the largest bondholder of the group which is reviewing creditors' proposals to restructure its 4.8 billion euros ($5.21 billion) of debt, French media La Lettre reported on Monday. The ECB declined to comment. Atos was a flagship technology component of the French blue-chip CAC-40 share index until 2021.
