Atos Secures Financial Lifeline with Onepoint's Restructuring Plan

The French IT firm aims to stabilize its finances and maintain strategic operations through significant debt conversion and new equity.

Atos has chosen a financial restructuring proposal from its largest shareholder, Onepoint, over a rival bid from Czech billionaire Daniel Křetínský.
The restructuring plan includes converting €2.9 billion of debt into equity and injecting €250 million of new money into the company.
The deal will result in significant dilution for existing shareholders, who will hold less than 0.1% of the new share capital.
The French government has supported the plan to keep key Atos activities under French control, providing a €50 million loan to the company.
Atos will continue to manage critical contracts, including cybersecurity for the Paris 2024 Olympics France's military and nuclear deterrent.
