Article Private Equity Corporate - M&A | 28/04/15 | 1 min. | Gilles August

Following the initial buyback by Dassault Aviation in September-November 2014 of a 9.41% block of shares (including 8% from Airbus Group) and the subsequent cancellation of part of the purchased shares representing 9.01% of its share capital, Dassault Aviation cooperated with Airbus Group in the framework of a private placement with institutional investors, of a 17.5% block of Dassault Aviation’s share capital, for an overall amount of EUR 1.64 billion. In this context, Dassault Aviation bought back 5% of its shares for an amount of EUR 451 million, i.e. at a price of EUR 980 per share (the sale price to the other investors amounted to EUR 1,030 per share). Following the operation, Dassault Aviation’s free float now stands at 14.4%, up from 1.9%, and the issuer now holds 5.44% of treasury shares.
