Financial Agreements with the Atos
Since the listing of the Company’s shares on Euronext Paris, the Group is no longer party to the Atos group’s cash pooling arrangements. Following this listing, the Group put in place at the Company level a notional multicurrency cash pooling arrangement covering most Group entities. The Group will nevertheless have the possibility of placing short-term deposits with the Atos group at market conditions. Since the listing of the Company’s shares on Euronext Paris, the Group benefits from a € 300 million revolving credit facility granted by Bull International, an Atos group subsidiary, in order to cover the Group’s liquidity requirements, including temporary fluctuations in its working capital needs.
Group
The Group entities entered into agreements with Atos SE and its subsidiaries in connection with certain Worldline Group financing aspects, in particular cash management and certain loans. Existing borrowings between the Group and the Atos group were repaid upon the listing of the Company’s shares on Euronext Paris. The Atos group has extended loans to Group entities that correspond to proceeds from the sale of trade receivables under the Atos group’s securitization program. These loans were reimbursed before the listing of the Company’s shares on Euronext Paris and the Group no longer participates in the Atos group’s securitization program.
