As announced on October 18, 2023, in the absence of a solution to strengthen its financial situation and secure its cash runway during the safeguard proceedings, Pixium together with the court-appointed administrators, filed a request with the Commercial Court of Paris for the conversion of the safeguard proceedings into receivership. This request was examined and approved by the Commercial Court of Paris at the hearing of November 13, 2023.
In this context, Pixium reiterates that a bidding process for the purpose of finding buyers to acquire the Company's business has been published by the court-appointed administrators on October 20, 2023 and that the deadline for the submission of offers has been set to November 20, 2023 at 12:00 p.m. (noon).
Interested candidates are invited to contact the court-appointed administrators, SCP Abitbol & Rousselet, represented by Joanna Rousselet, and Selarl FHB, represented Hélène Bourbouloux.
Access to an electronic data room will be granted once the candidate has signed a confidentiality agreement and submitted a brief presentation of interest.
The Company draws investors' attention to the possibility that, in the event of a court-order plan to sell off all or part of the Company's assets, the price offered may not allow shareholders to be reimbursed in full or in part.
The market will be regularly informed on the progress of the procedure and, more generally, on the financial situation of Pixium.
