Additional information about Blade
Strasbourg (France), 11 March 2021 - 2CRSi (ISIN: FR0013341781), a designer and manufacturer of high-performance, energy-efficient IT servers, provides additional information to its shareholders regarding the Blade company and the ongoing legal proceedings.
Update on Blade SAS As announced on 3 March, Blade SAS, the specialist of cloud PC for video game players, has been placed in receivership by the Paris Commercial Court. The official receiver in charge of the proceedings has set the deadline for submitting takeover offers at midday on 19 March 2021.
Update on Blade Corp It appears the US subsidiary, Blade Corp, has also been placed under "Chapter 11" bankruptcy protection in the United States. The Group's contracts with Blade Corp are similar to those established with Blade SAS: the servers provided remain the property of 2CRSi[1] until all lease payments or instalments are paid by Blade. 2CRSi's exposure to Blade Corp is as described in the press release of 3 March 2021. As in France, 2CRSi will initiate legal procedures without delay to recover the equipment owned by the Group.
Several options available As well as selling the recoverable hardware, a takeover of Blade could ensure continuity. The Group therefore remains fully confident that it will find a satisfactory solution to the current situation.
