Sopra Steria: Conversion of CS Convertible Bonds

Regulatory News:

Sopra Steria (Paris:SOP) (Euronext Paris: SOP), a European leader in digital transformation, today announced plans to convert the convertible bonds it holds in CS (Euronext Paris: SX) into shares.

As previously announced in its press release of 10 March 2017, CS is considering a targeted external growth strategy focusing on its core business.

In view of this, Sopra Steria Group declared its intent to convert the CS convertible bonds it holds into shares, thereby giving it access to 11.39%1 of the share capital, and has stated that it would consider backing the company in the event of an equity increase related to its growth plans.

In this context, Duna & Cie and Sopra Steria, which do not plan to act in concert, will replace the current agreement on convertible bonds with a reciprocal preemptive right, which may only be exercised from 1 January 2018, with the option for each party to request an initial offer from the other party for its stake in CS.

These changes confirm the existing industrial and commercial partnership between CS and Sopra Steria.
