FDJ said its acquisition of Bimedia, which specialises in software dealing with payment solutions, would be based on an enterprise value of less than 50 million euros ($55.1 million).

FDJ's stock market flotation was one of the biggest in Europe this year. It forms part of French President Emmanuel Macron's plans to sell state shareholdings in certain companies to raise money to fund innovation projects and boost the overall economy.
