(CercleFinance.com) – Vincent Bolloré would be interested in the Dassault Holding Group, formerly GIMD, the holding company of the Dassault family according to Marianne.
The French businessman would have the support of the Elysée according to Marianne.
The Dassault family holding company holds the stakes in Dassault Aviation (62% of the capital), Dassault Systèmes (40%), Immobilière Dassault (60%) and assets in the media (Le Figaro) and wine specifies this morning Invest Securities .
‘On the current course levels, Dassault Holding Group would be valued around 30 billion Euros’ adds the analysis office.
Vincent Bolloré would have approached Laurent Dassault and would seek to take advantage of the dissensions between the heirs of Serge Dassault according to the newspaper.
‘ The expiry on January 1, 2023 of the mandate of Charles Edelstenne, chairman of Groupe Dassault Holding and testamentary legatee of S. Dassault, could offer him a window of opportunity. V. Bolloré would use the proceeds from the sale (5.7 billion euros) of the African activities (exclusive negotiations with MSC) to finance a minority stake, knowing that he could not hold a majority stake in the holding company without having to launch a takeover bid on the 3 listed entities that it would not have the means to finance’ indicates Invest Securities.
‘It could also be that this interest in the entire group is a means of pressure to recover only Le Figaro, a media that V. Bolloré has coveted for a long time,’ adds the analyst.
