Micropole has announced that it will ask Euronext to suspend its share price until further notice, as its CEO Christian Poyau was informed on Friday evening of the imminent filing of a takeover bid, possibly as early as Monday.

Micropole's Board of Directors met on Sunday and took note of this unsolicited approach, which had not been the subject of any prior discussion. It unanimously reiterated its confidence in the IT group's strategy.

The Board 'will examine the proposed offer and, if necessary, any alternative proposal, in accordance with the law, and will vigorously defend Micropole's corporate interest and the best interests of its employees, customers, shareholders and stakeholders'.
