Orpea: ongoing discussions with creditors
In a press release, the retirement home operator points out that it is committed to negotiating a "drastic" financial restructuring involving the capitalization of 3.8 billion euros of unsecured debt.
The plan also calls for a capital increase of between 1.3 and 1.5 billion euros to finance its restructuring plan and achieve a sustainable financial structure.
The implementation of these operations could lead to massive dilution for existing shareholders who decide not to participate, the group points out in a press release.
The company - which says it can give no guarantees concerning the outcome of these discussions - indicates that it plans to continue to keep the market informed.
The group explains its communication by the "unusual" movements observed in its share price over the last few days: at last night's closing price, the share had rebounded by 40% since the beginning of the year.
It lost more than 8% this Thursday morning.
As a reminder, the share price had fallen by over 90% last year, hit by the revelations of the book-investigation Les Fossoyeurs.
Concert'O, one of the company's main shareholders, last night protested against Orpea's press release, the aim of which - in his opinion - seems to be to depress his own share price.
