The restructuring plan entails a capital increase with
preferential subscription rights, involving a 233 million euro ($250 million)
contribution, as stated in the official announcement.
About 2.8 billion euros of Atos' debt will be turned into
equity, bringing the total amount of converted debt to 2.9 billion euros. That
will reduce Atos' net indebtedness by around 3.1 billion euros, the statement
said.
The company said Sunday's agreement was a "significant
milestone towards reaching a final restructuring agreement by July".
Atos announced last Wednesday that a consortium led by
investor David Layani's Onepoint had withdrawn from discussions on its
restructuring. Reuters
