The French government has made a non-binding offer to acquire Atos SE’s Advanced Computing division, valuing the unit at \u20ac500 million, with the potential to increase to \u20ac625 million through performance-based earn-outs. This division encompasses Atos’s High-Performance Computing (HPC), Quantum Computing, Artificial Intelligence, and Business Computing operations, employing approximately 2,500 individuals and generating around \u20ac570 million in revenue in 2023 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The offer includes an initial payment of \u20ac150 million upon signing a Share Purchase Agreement, with an exclusivity period for negotiations extending until May 31, 2025 . This move follows a previous, broader offer from the French state in June 2024, which aimed to acquire additional Atos units such as Mission-Critical Systems and Cybersecurity Products. That earlier offer expired in October 2024 without an agreement <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The French government’s interest in Atos’s Advanced Computing division underscores its strategic importance, particularly in areas critical to national security like nuclear deterrence and defense applications . Finance Minister Antoine Armand emphasized the state’s role in safeguarding such vital industrial activities <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This potential acquisition is part of Atos’s broader financial restructuring efforts, which include converting \u20ac2.9 billion of loans into equity and raising \u20ac233 million through a rights issue . The company aims to stabilize its operations and reduce debt, with plans to complete restructuring by early 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the Advanced Computing division, Atos has expressed intentions to initiate formal sale processes for its Cybersecurity and Mission-Critical Systems units, which collectively generated approximately \u20ac340 million in revenue in 2023 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The outcome of these negotiations and sales will significantly influence Atos’s future direction and its role in France’s technological and defense sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
