Regulatory News:
Eurofins (Paris:ERF):
Eurofins Scientific (EUFI.PA), a global scientific leader in bioanalytical testing, announces that it has successfully completed today its planned purchase of related party-owned sites. The purchase has been structured as a single acquisition of a company holding all related party-owned sites confirmed to be of strategic interest, with the scope and valuation of those assets in line with what was communicated on 23 July 2025.
This announcement follows the very high approval rating of 95.6% for the 18th resolution presented at the Annual Ordinary General Meeting on 24 April 2025. Following the transaction, annualised rent paid to related parties is expected to decline to a negligible amount, and eventually to zero once the leases on the few, minor remaining related party-owned sites conclude.
The acquisition has been financed from the proceeds of the senior unsecured Euro-denominated bonds issued on 5 August 2025. The net impact of the transaction on Eurofins' financial leverage ratio is expected to be less than 0.2x.
