Bouygues announced on Monday that it had obtained AMF approval for its public buyout offer followed by a squeeze-out for Colas, an operation it had initially formalized in September.

As part of the simplification of its capital structure, Bouygues had indicated its intention to file a takeover bid for the Colas shares it does not hold, at a price of 175 euros per share.

At present, the conglomerate holds 96.8% of the capital and 98% of the voting rights in its road construction subsidiary.

As the takeover bid has been declared compliant by the AMF, the offer will be open for 10 trading days, after which a squeeze-out procedure will be implemented.
