SUEZ takes note of the purchase by Veolia of 29.9% of its capital in a hostile manner and under unprecedented and irregular conditions.
The Group confirms that it will use all the means at its disposal to protect the interests of its employees, its clients and all its stakeholders, in particular to ensure equal and fair treatment of all its shareholders and avoid a creeping takeover or de facto control.
Veolia said on Monday it would release its tender offer at 18 euros a share, the same price it offered Engie for the 29.9% stake, in a deal that would value Suez at 11.2 billion euros ($13.20 billion).
