Euronext Paris

I mean, look at the Draghi report.

Yes, it scared people, people on Wall Street or in Frankfurt, in London, Paris Stock Exchange.

And we in the business community, we said, yes, please.

But what has happened? Not a lot.

This hands Mercure control of seven French casinos and the listed operator SFC, the Société Française de Casinos.

But instead of, you know, parading this newly acquired public company around to build capital like Lottomatica, Merkur's explicit goal is to trigger a mandatory offer for the remaining SFC shares, take the entire thing private and completely delist it from the Euronext Paris exchange.

Right, with DOFA retaining that final 5%, which is subject to reciprocal put and call arrangements.

Yeah, let's translate that reciprocal put and call for the listener for a second.

Precisely.

Merkur is buying operational freedom.

By taking SFC private and delisting from Euronext Paris, they completely remove the regulatory reporting burden of a public exchange.

They can just operate in the shadows a bit more.

That was like my weekend job.

And at the time I was working at the Paris Stock Exchange.

I'd always wanted, it was the last open outcry ever.

trading floor and I always wanted to wear one of those brightly colored jackets like on the telly so I'd applied to every single person that had a every single business and managed to get a job I actually managed to get two I gave one to my boyfriend as well at the time but so it's great anyway Planet Hollywood back in the day was opening its first restaurant in continental Europe and And they were having an absolute nightmare with the French and the Americans.

Réaction du marché.

Annonce a déclenché une chute du titre Technip Energies à la Bourse de Paris avec une perte de plus de deux pour cent dès l'ouverture des marchés.

Les investisseurs craignent que le non, euh, d'attribution d'un contrat aussi stratégique n'y affaiblisse les perspectives de une croissance du groupe dans le secteur des technologies spatiales et du carburant pour l'aviation supersonique.

Conséquence pour le secteur français, cette défaite marque un revers pour la vie.

We're now in the sixth generation.

It's family-controlled, listed on the Paris Stock Exchange.

Um, but it has been in business, uh, that amount of time, and pretty much has been doing the same thing since it founded moving forward today, which is making high-end, high-quality, handmade leather products and goods and accessories around this.

They started back in the day when there was the horse and buggy.
