On August 9, 2017, Altice N.V. (Euronext: ATC, ATCB) has entered into several agreements relating to the acquisition of SFR Group shares through exchanges against Altice N.V. common shares A.
These agreements ensure the holding by the Altice group of 95.9% of the share capital and voting rights of SFR Group.
