This transaction “marks the last step in the unwinding of the cross-shareholding which was in place since 2008.”
At the start of this month, RSG sold its remaining 3.9% stake in Groupe ADP.
It involved the sale of around 3.87 million shares at €133 apiece.
The proceeds from the deal will enable Groupe ADP to “selectively seize potential international development opportunities while pursuing its debt reduction path, targeting a net debt ratio of 4.5 to 5 times EBITDA by 2025.”
