France’s Atos has confirmed that several parties have approached the ICT firm about the potential takeover of its Tech Foundations business, but the possibility of a transaction is uncertain.
“Following rumours in the French press, Atos confirms that, since the presentation of its separation plan at the CMD on June 14, the company has been approached by several players interested in a potential acquisition of its Tech Foundations business,” Atos said in a statement.
Atos has recalled its board of directors to examine all “received expressions of interest” while taking into account the company’s “corporate interest and the creation of value for its shareholders, employees, and customers”.
The firm didn’t reveal which organisations were among the interested parties.
