Cybergun: firm offer received for Verney-Carron

(CercleFinance.com) - Cybergun announced on Thursday that it had received a binding offer for the takeover of its Verney-Carron rifles and shotguns subsidiary by a major global player in small arms.


Although the French group is not disclosing the name of the potential buyer, several press sources indicate that it would be the Belgian group FN Browning.

This offer values Verney-Carron at 1.4 million euros, excluding net financial debt, and provides for a takeover of at least 67% of the capital following a capital increase reserved for the purchaser.

Cybergun - which says it wants to remain operational alongside its new partner - is expected to retain a minority stake of over 30%.

The transaction comes after Cybergun applied last month to the Saint-Etienne Commercial Court to open receivership proceedings in order to prepare the future of its subsidiary.

On the Paris stock exchange, Cybergun's share price doubled this morning, giving a valuation corresponding to 1.4 million euros, i.e. Verney-Carron's enterprise value.

The listing of Verney-Carron shares had been suspended since last month.
