EUROPLASMA : Completion of the sale of the Air and Gas sector

Press Release | Sale of Europe Environnement | Bordeaux, December 17th, 2013

On November 21st, Europlasma announced that its 50.2% owned subsidiary Financière GEE (FIG) had entered into exclusive negotiations with the CMI Group for the sale of its Air and Gas sector (sub-group Europe Environnement).
Upon execution of agreements signed on December 16th, 2013, Europlasma confirms today the definitive transfer of its Air and Gas business unit to the CMI Group with effective takeover on the same date. Along the negotiations, FIG paid continuing attention to get an offer and an industrial project consistent with the economic and social interests of stakeholders.
This transaction of a total amount of € 3.5 million (Europlasma Group participation of 50.2%) will not have any significant impact on the Group's results as at 31/12/2013 since the impairment of this investment has been recorded in the half-year 2013 accounts.
This sale is part of the Group's strategy to refocus its activities on its core business, i.e. the use of the plasma technology in the hazardous waste treatment and renewable energy production sectors.
