ATEME and the main shareholders of ANEVIA together holding 87% of the share capital[1] and 90% of the theoretical voting rights[2] of the Company (the "Majority Shareholders"), have entered into exclusive negotiations to transfer their interest in the share capital of the Company to the benefit of ATEME. The transaction has received the prior unanimous support of the boards of directors of both parties. An “information-consultation” procedure with employee representative bodies of the Company and ATEME will be launched.

Upon completion of the above mentioned “information-consultation” procedures, ATEME would acquire all Company shares held by the Majority Shareholders (including those to be issued upon exercise of securities giving access to the Company’s share capital), in part by way of contributions in kind (the "Contribution") and for the remainder, in cash (the "Acquisition"). 

The combination of the two companies would create a major player in video broadcasting infrastructure, with combined revenues of more than €80 million (pro forma 2019).
