Bureau Veritas loses 3% on a placement of shares by Wendel, as part of a three-year pre-financed forward sale, increasing its financial flexibility by reducing its pro forma loan-to-value ratio to around 17%.

Thus, 30,357,140 shares of the testing, inspection and certification services group (representing around 6.7% of the capital) were placed at a price of 27.25 euros per share, as part of this forward sale agreement concluded with BNP Paribas.

At the same time, Wendel entered into a "Call Spread" transaction to benefit from up to 15% of the share price increase over the next three years on an amount of shares equivalent to those underlying the forward sale.
