Iliad - AGE 20 Décembre 2019

Le principal objet de la présente assemblée est d’approuver le projet d’Offre publique de Rachat (OPRA) suivie d’une augmentation de capital portant sur le même montant, proposée au même prix que l’OPRA, et garantie par le premier actionnaire, Xavier Niel. De façon générale, cette opération, financièrement innovante, porte un risque de renforcement au capital du premier actionnaire. Cependant, celui-ci est déjà l’actionnaire de contrôle puisqu’il détient plus de 50% du capital. De la même façon, il contrôle également d’ores et déjà l’issue des votes en AG. Ainsi, cette opération ne porte pas de risque de prise de contrôle, mais uniquement de renforcement du contrôle du premier actionnaire. Or, ce renforcement se ferait au prix fort (le prix proposé étant supérieur au cours actuel). Ainsi, globalement cette opération s’apparente à un fort signal de confiance envoyé au marché par Xavier Niel. Nous la soutenons.
