  • République Française/​​EDF: Squeeze-Out

République Française/​​EDF: Squeeze-Out

By Jesus Rodriguez Aguilar

  • On 6 July, the French Prime Minister said that France would have 100% of EDF. I recommended BUY at €8.98 in the wake of a very willing big-pocketed buyer.
  • The French state now holds 92.71% of voting rights in EDF, and intends to initiate the squeeze-out within three months from closing (up to 22 March).
  • Although the shares are still liquid, gross spread is 0-2 bps, and therefore there is no trade worth considering, in my view, just selling into the sustained purchase order/await squeeze-out.
