Takeover of AST Groupe assets by Hexaom and Trecobat

The Lyon Commercial Court has designated the consortium formed by Hexaom and Trecobat as the buyer of AST Groupe's industrial assets. These assets include the interests in POBI Industrie and Structures, as well as the Natilia, Natibox and Villas Club brands. Fourteen franchise management employees will also join this consortium. The takeover will be effective on November 26, 2024.

The conversion into compulsory liquidation affects AST Groupe, DPLE and IDEOZ. The companies POBI Industrie and Structures see the end of their judicial safeguard procedures. The listing of AST Groupe shares will remain suspended on Euronext Growth, which plans their imminent delisting.

The income from this sale will be exclusively intended for the creditors of AST Groupe, thus excluding any payment to shareholders, due to the company's significant debt.
