Veolia (Paris:VIE):
The project to build the world champion of ecological
transformation is entering a decisive phase.
On Tuesday, July 20, 2021, the AMF declared the public tender
offer for the shares of Suez filed by Veolia on June 30, 2021 to be
compliant and approved the draft offer document.
Veolia's offer document and Suez's reply document are now
available on the Veolia and Suez respective websites. The offer
will be formally opened in the next few days, after the AMF has
published its notice of opening.
Following this announcement, Antoine Frérot stated: "As Veolia's
takeover bid for Suez will be opened to Suez shareholders in the
very near future, the project to build the world champion of
ecological transformation is moving closer to its conclusion. The
price offered by Veolia, now €19.85 per share (coupon attached)
(after detachment of the €0.65 coupon on July 6, 2021,
corresponding to a total of €20.50 per share as announced on April
12, 2021), values Suez remarkably well. The industrial project
defended by our Group represents a unique opportunity for France
and for Europe to lead in the most buoyant sector of the moment:
that of ecological transformation. I therefore invite all Suez
shareholders to make their contribution to this project by
contributing their shares to our offer.”
The authorization procedures of the relevant competition
authorities, which are the last major step to be taken before the
acquisition of Suez by Veolia, are proceeding according to the
announced schedule.
