Atos announced in a press release on Wednesday that it had received a revised global financial restructuring proposal from its creditors, taking into account the end of discussions with Onepoint, Butler Industries and Econocom.

With this announcement, Atos confirms the end of negotiations with Onepoint, the company of David Layani, its largest shareholder, whose financial restructuring offer was, for a time, favored by the IT security group.

Atos also states that EP Equity Investment (EPEI), owned by Czech businessman Daniel Kretinsky, has offered to resume discussions with the group and its financial creditors.

"The company has received from the representative committee of its bondholders (SteerCo) a revised global financial restructuring proposal... taking into account the decision of Onepoint, Butler Industries and Econocom to withdraw from discussions," the group said in a statement.
