Atos intends to sell its entire stake in Worldline of ca. 7.0 million shares representing ca. 2.5% of Worldline’s share capital. The sale will be carried out by way of an accelerated book building to institutional investors commencing immediately (the “Placement”). Atos will concomitantly enter into a derivative transaction with Goldman Sachs Bank Europe SE to hedge its residual exposure to Worldline’s shares related to the outstanding exchangeable bonds due 2024 which were issued in 2019. Goldman Sachs Europe Bank SE as counterparty for the derivative will hedge its short position in connection therewith by purchasing Worldline shares in the Placement, through the placing of an order in the order book. Following completion of the Placement, Atos will no longer be a shareholder of Worldline. Goldman Sachs Bank Europe SE is acting as sole bookrunner for the Placement and counterparty for the derivative. Rothschild & Co is acting as financial advisor. The final terms

Atos announces the appointment of two Deputy CEOs as the Group studies a possible separation into two publicly-listed companies. As announced today, the Company’s Board of Directors has decided, following preliminary strategic review work carried out under the leadership of Mr. Belmer, to study a project for the separation of Atos’ legacy activities (Tech Foundations), on the one hand, and its Big Data and Cybersecurity (BDS) and Digital activities, on the other hand, through two companies independent listed separately. This strategy would unlock the value of the two distinct markets that the Group operates in, both with fundamentally different dynamics, and is essential to its ambitious transformation plan. Nourdine Bihmane is appointed Deputy CEO in charge of Tech Foundations, a leading business in managed infrastructure services, digital workplace and professional services.
