BIGBEN announces the temporary suspension of trading in its shares on Euronext Paris and its bonds on Euronext Access Paris
|
On 17 February 2026, the Company announced that, due to the unexpected and late refusal of its banking pool to respond to the drawdown notice sent to it in connection with the partial refinancing of its existing exchangeable bonds for ordinary shares of Nacon (the “Bonds”), the Company was unable to proceed with the partial repayment of the outstanding Bonds in the amount of EUR 43 million originally scheduled for 19 February 2026.
In view of the financial difficulties faced by the Company as a result of this situation, particularly with regard to its cash position, the Company immediately initiated discussions with its main creditors and financial partners to enable it to ensure business continuity and restructure its debt, notably its bond debt. The Company is considering procedures aimed at facilitating the restructuring of its debt under the supervision of the Commercial Court.
In light of the above, the Company announces that it has requested Euronext Paris to suspend trading in its shares FR0000074072 and its Bonds FR0014001WC2 as of market opening today. It has also been decided to suspend the liquidity contract on Bigben Interactive’s shares.
The suspension will remain in effect until further notice is published by the Company, expected in the coming days.
