atos: French IT firm Atos seeks over $1 billion in new funds: report


Crisis-hit French IT firm Atos has told creditors and bondholders it is seeking more than 1 billion euros ($1.09 billion) in new funds, Bloomberg News reported on Monday, citing people with direct knowledge of a new restructuring plan.

Atos is aiming to convert about half of its $5 billion debt into equity as part of the plan disclosed during a confidential meeting on Monday, Bloomberg said.

Atos has not made immediately clear who would inject cash in the company and how remaining debt terms would be renegotiated, the Bloomberg report added.

Given Atos’ cybersecurity and super-computing activities, the French government is closely following the company’s fate. Prime Minister Gabriel Attal said last week maintaining the company’s financial stability was a government priority.

Long before Edgar Wright’s The Running Man hits theaters this week, the director of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz had been thinking about making it. He read the original 1982 novel by Stephen King (under his pseudonym Richard Bachman) as a boy and excitedly went to theaters in 1987 to see the film version, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Wright enjoyed the adaptation but was a little let down by just how different it was from the novel. Years later, after he’d become a successful… Source link
