McPhy Energy : John Cockerill Hydrogen appointed as the buyer of the majority of McPhy’s activities, including the Belfort Gigafactory - Judicial reorganization proceedings converted into judicial liquidation - Trading suspension


Foussemagne (France), July 8, 2025 – 7.30 pm CEST

McPhy Energy (“McPhy”) announces that, by judgment dated July 8, 2025, the Belfort Commercial Court (the “Court”) approved a disposal plan for part of McPhy’s assets and activities in favor of the company John Cockerill Hydrogen1. By the same judgment, the Court converted the judicial reorganization proceedings opened against McPhy into judicial liquidation.

  • Partial acquisition of McPhy by John Cockerill Hydrogen

As part of the judicial reorganization proceedings, the Court appointed John Cockerill Hydrogen as the buyer of a significant part of McPhy's activities and assets (notably the Belfort Gigafactory, as well as its technologies and intellectual property), along with more than 70% of its French employees, i.e., 51 out of a total workforce of 71. This acquisition has become effective on July 8, 2025 at midnight.

  • Judicial liquidation of McPhy, trading suspension and forthcoming delisting of its shares

As part of the conversion into judicial liquidation, the Court appointed Maître Flavien Marchal as judicial liquidator.

In addition, Jean-Baptiste Lucas, Chief Executive Officer who resigned last April2, will step down from his position at McPhy today3. Following the meeting of McPhy’s Board of Directors held today, Luc Poyer, Chairman of the Board, also resigned from his position as director.

In this framework, the Company has requested Euronext the suspension of the trading of its shares from July 8, 2025 (after market close).

Finally, as previously announced4, McPhy will request Euronext to proceed with the forthcoming delisting of its shares, currently listed on Euronext Growth Paris. In this regard, it is recalled that, given the anticipated level of assets realization compared to the Company’s liabilities5, the value of McPhy’s shares is expected to be nil and no reimbursement of shareholders is expected.

McPhy would like to thank all its stakeholders – employees, customers, suppliers and partners, shareholders, and public authorities – for their commitment and support since the Company’s creation and throughout its operations.

McPhy extends its best wishes to its employees and the buyer for every success in preserving the know-how developed over more than a decade, as well as in continuing operations at the Belfort Gigafactory, with the strong ambition of actively contributing to a low-carbon world and to the development of the low-carbon hydrogen industry.
