Cochin Shipyard to build next-generation electric TRAnsverse tugs for Svitzer

Cochin, India and Copenhagen, Denmark – 8 December 2025. Svitzer, a leading global towage provider, and Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL), India’s largest public sector shipyard, have signed a shipbuilding agreement for four 26–metre electric TRAnsverse (“TRAnsverse 2600e”) tugs to be constructed in India for Svitzer’s global fleet renewal and growth plans. 

The agreement confirms a Letter of Intent signed in October 2025 at India Maritime Week and marks the move from intent to a contracted new build agreement. 

Under the agreement, CSL will build a minimum of four battery–electric TRAnsverse 2600e tugs for Svitzer, with an option for up to four additional vessels. The tugs will be constructed to Svitzer’s specifications at CSL’s facilities in Cochin to serve as global fleet renewal and advancement in operations worldwide. The vessels complement a wider newbuilding program of the TRAnsverse tug design, cementing Svitzer’s confidence in the vessel’s capabilities while also opening opportunities for future deployment in Indian ports and terminals. 

The deal brings together Svitzer’s global expertise in sustainable towage solutions with CSL’s proven shipbuilding capabilities, skilled workforce and local innovation. It supports India’s ambition to become a global maritime manufacturing and skills hub under Maritime India Vision 2030, Maritime Amrit Kaal Vision 2047 and the “Make in India” initiative.  

The TRAnsverse 2600e tugs are the electric version of the next–generation tug design proving itself as the world’s most advanced and efficient tug. The ‘Swiss Army Knife’ of tugs: the TRAnsverse design can operate in complex and close–quarter operating contexts, with all ship types and sizes in challenging weather and tidal conditions. The vessels will feature battery–electric propulsion and offer port and terminal operations zero direct emissions during harbour operations when charged from green power sources.  

The tug’s patented staple with double–ended hull and in–line propulsion with omni–directional thrust expands the dynamic operating envelope in towage of up to 50%.   

Kasper Karlsen, Chief Operating Officer, Svitzer, said: 
“This contract with Cochin Shipyard for our next series of electric TRAnsverse tugs reflects our commitment to Make in India and to support port and terminal operations in their green transition and decarbonisation objectives.  

 “India has strong shipbuilding capabilities and a highly skilled workforce. Through this collaboration with CSL, we are not only investing in a series of advanced tugs for our own operations – we are also helping to build capacity for world–class, low– and zero–emission tug construction in India – signalling our trust in India’s existing capability and maritime vision. 

We welcome the opportunity to work closely with the CSL team to deliver these vessels and, in doing so, to support the goals of Maritime India Vision 2030 and Maritime Amrit Kaal Vision 2047 in a very practical way.” 

Dr Harikrishnan S, Operations Director, Cochin Shipyard Limited, said: 
“We look forward to delivering the next generation of tug, the TRAnsverse 2600e, drawing on CSL’s skilled workforce and our track record in complex, high‑spec vessels. This agreement represents a natural expansion of our capabilities into advanced tug design and the industrialisation of battery‑electric and future‑fuel‑ready technologies in India. 

The programme will deepen our expertise in electric propulsion, high‑precision manoeuvring systems and integrated digital solutions for ports and terminals, while creating opportunities for our engineers, designers and local supply chain. 

As a Government of India company, we remain committed to Make in India and to the decarbonisation of maritime transport. Together with Svitzer, our goal is to deliver a world‑class asset with significant decarbonisation credentials for ports in India and around the world.” 

The first four vessels under the agreement are expected to enter construction over the coming months, with the first delivery targeted no earlier than late 2027 / early 2028, subject to detailed design, yard scheduling and regulatory approvals. Further vessels may follow in line with Svitzer’s fleet renewal plans and customer demand.

BitMEX Turns 11 – The Exchange that Taught Crypto How to Trade

VICTORIA, Seychelles, Nov. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BitMEX, the exchange that helped define modern crypto trading, marks its 11–year anniversary today with a bold celebration of the traders who helped shape the exchange and the industry since 2014. As part of the milestone, BitMEX is releasing “11 Insights from 11 Years of Experience,” a curated set of hard–earned lessons from more than a decade at the frontier of digital asset markets.

11 Years of being Big and Bold: How BitMEX Helped Build Modern Crypto Trading
BitMEX’s story is linked with the history of crypto itself. From inventing the world’s first perpetual swap and being the first to introduce 100x leverage, to being one of the earliest advocates for Proof of Reserves, BitMEX has been consistently ahead of the curve. As the market evolved through cycles, narratives, and reinventions, BitMEX stayed grounded in its founding principles: build for traders, not hype. Today, BitMEX continues pushing that mission forward – expanding access to professional tools including Copy Trading, Trading Bots, and advanced derivatives – whilst upholding its commitments to transparency, resilience, and technical excellence.

“BitMEX has weathered every cycle because we built on principles, not trends,” said Stephan Lutz, CEO of BitMEX. “In my three years as CEO, I’ve watched the market reinvent itself again and again. Many exchanges have risen and fallen and we’ve seen many things change, but BitMEX has always stayed true to its DNA. We’ve remained principled, resilient, and trader–first, and I’ve never been prouder to lead this company. The last few years have shown me that when the market gets loud, traders return to the platforms that are steady, neutral, and battle–tested. I’m proud of what my team has achieved and incredibly excited about what comes next.”

11 Insights from 11 Years: What a Decade on the Frontline Has Taught Us
BitMEX is celebrating its anniversary by consolidating a decade of hard lessons, market scars, and engineering breakthroughs into 11 key insights – a candid look at what really matters in crypto trading. The highlights include:
1.   It’s always been about Bitcoin.

Every cycle reinforces the same truth: Bitcoin is still the only asset to consistently surpass its previous all–time highs, driven by its immaculate monetary design and decentralised origins.

2.   Perpetual swaps are the greatest finance invention in the 21st century.

Before BitMEX created the perpetual swap, crypto derivatives were broken toys. The perps solved the fundamental limitations of traditional futures and became the most traded product in crypto. Real innovation endures.

3.   Security isn’t a product — it’s a practice. You can’t buy trust. You have to earn it every day.

BitMEX’s 100% cold–storage, multi–signature withdrawal model was slow and inconvenient but that is exactly why it worked. After 11 years, the lesson remained the same: security isn’t just a feature but a philosophy backed by non–negotiable trade–offs.

4.   Are you trading the market or the house?

Many exchanges still run internal market–making desks – a structural conflict that gives them visibility into customer flow and liquidation levels. BitMEX was built differently: no prop trading or no internal desks. A neutral venue remains the only fair venue.

5.   Crypto remains a fragmented market.

The crypto market isn’t a unified pool, it’s a patchwork of liquidity silos. As we highlighted in our Q1 2025 Derivatives Report, some exchanges list tokens that peak on Day 1 and collapse immediately after. BitMEX’s listing strategy consistently shows stronger, more sustainable performance because real markets require real liquidity.

6.   The real risk isn't liquidation. It's Auto–Deleveraging.

Liquidation is predictable; ADL isn’t. When markets crash faster than the insurance fund can respond, profitable traders can still be force–closed. BitMEX’s ADL system does not privilege any trader in the queue, results of years of engineering to ensure fairness under stress.

7.   Fair Price Marking: The shield for perp traders against market manipulation.

BitMEX pioneered the concept of Fair Price Marking, which protects traders positions by anchoring Mark Prices to a hybrid composite index rather than a single source. To move that price, manipulators would need to crash the global spot market, not just a single venue. It’s the ultimate defence for high–leverage traders.

8.   Leverage is freedom.

BitMEX introduced 100x leverage but paired it with non–recourse liquidation, meaning traders can never lose more than their posted collateral. It democratised access to position sizes previously reserved for institutions, while demanding a level of discipline and precision most traders underestimate.

9.   The Bitcoin 4–Year Cycle isn’t dead.

As outlined in our recent article, “Four–Year Cycles Aren't Dead”, every cycle births a new “this time is different” narrative, but leverage, human psychology, and halving–driven supply constraints continue to reset the market in predictable waves. The ETF era hasn’t changed the underlying plumbing, the cycle is alive and functioning exactly as designed.

10.   Be careful of the high–yield stablecoin trap.

Some “stablecoins” are not stable; rather, they’re leveraged yield schemes waiting to implode. Terra/LUNA, xUSD, and USDX all followed the same pattern: artificial yields masked unsustainable mechanics. High yield is always a warning label, not a feature.

11.   Don't confuse the wrapper with the asset.

ETFs, digital asset treasuries, and structured wrappers offer new access but come with fees, incentives, and premium/discount dynamics that often cause them to underperform the crypto they track. The wrapper is a business; the asset is the asset. Traders must know the difference.

Seed of collaboration ties Linyi, West Africa

ACCRA, Ghana, Nov. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Linyi Trade City from East China's Shandong province hosted a quality product expo in Ghana in early November, sowing the seeds of win–win collaboration and paving the way for Linyi's expansion in the West Africa market.

The expo has attracted thousands of professional African buyers for future development, with agreements signed with five Ghanaian enterprises on–site, reaching an intended amount of 16.8 million yuan ($2.36 million).

Covering a 3,000–square–meter exhibition area, the event featured an assortment of building materials from Linyi, Shandong province, including hardware and machinery, plastic products, chemical products, building materials, and decoration materials, which cater to the needs of Ghanaian markets. In addition, due to their high quality and affordable prices, these Linyi products also attracted buyers from Ghana's neighboring countries.

Moreover, “Linyi manufacturing” helped fill the gap in the local market. “Currently, Ghana does not have efficient chemical products. Our products can significantly enhance efficiency in fields such as oil drilling, and the customers are extremely interested,” said Guo Jingwei, general manager of Shandong Weihong Trade and Economic Co Ltd, who reached a cooperation agreement with the Ghanaian oil company on the spot at the exhibition. The oil company plans to come to China for on–site investigations and discuss further cooperation.

The success of the exhibition was just the beginning. To gain a deeper understanding of the market, the Linyi merchant delegation delved into the commercial hub and industrial heartland of Accra. In Tema, Ghana's most important industrial port city, modern industrial parks and convenient logistics conditions signaled immense potential for establishing overseas warehouses, integrating supply chains, and even direct investment.

After touring the Linyi–invested Jinyi Industrial Park, a production and trade integrated zone in Ghana, the delegation's confidence in Linyi businesses expanding into West Africa was further solidified.

“I want to tell Linyi that Accra is seeking investment, collaboration, and a strong partnership,” said Ziyad Musah, presiding member of the Accra Metropolitan Assembly, who offered a warm welcome to Linyi for bringing in more quality products and forging partnerships with local markets.

Accra is ready to partner and collaborate with Linyi enterprises and will give assistance to help Linyi expand markets in the city, he added.

Anaqua dévoile des solutions IA révolutionnaires

BOSTON, 20 nov. 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Anaqua, le principal fournisseur de solutions et de services technologiques pour la gestion de l'innovation et de la propriété intellectuelle (PI), a annoncé aujourd'hui le lancement prochain de ses solutions d'IA révolutionnaires, qui marquent une avancée majeure dans la manière dont les équipes chargées de la propriété intellectuelle gèrent et optimisent leur propriété intellectuelle (PI).

« Les professionnels de la propriété intellectuelle sont soumis à une pression croissante pour trouver des moyens de travailler plus efficacement tout en cherchant à faire émerger de nouvelles idées », a déclaré Justin Crotty, PDG d'Anaqua. « Anaqua exploite la puissance de l'IA pour fournir des solutions révolutionnaires qui répondent aux besoins uniques des équipes de propriété intellectuelle. Ces solutions d'IA sont les premières du genre et seront intégrées à la plateforme de gestion de la propriété intellectuelle d'Anaqua. Notre but est de donner à nos clients les moyens de transformer leurs opérations de propriété intellectuelle et d’atteindre les objectifs stratégiques de leur entreprise. »

Anaqua fait progresser l'innovation grâce à de nouvelles solutions d'IA puissantes pour sa plateforme de gestion de la propriété intellectuelle. Ces nouvelles offres d'IA sont conçues pour aider les équipes chargées de la propriété intellectuelle à travailler plus intelligemment, à obtenir des analyses stratégiques plus approfondies, à améliorer l'efficacité opérationnelle et à avoir un impact stratégique et opérationnel plus important :

  • Docketing amélioré grâce à l'IA : automatise l'extraction et la validation des données provenant à la fois des documents des offices mondiaux de propriété intellectuelle et des documents internes, y compris les e–mails, sans pratiquement aucune intervention de l'utilisateur. Garantissant l'intégrité des données, cette solution lit et traite intelligemment ces informations, signale les divergences et prend en charge les mises à jour par lots sous la supervision des équipes chargées de la propriété intellectuelle. En éliminant la saisie manuelle des données, cette solution réduit considérablement la charge de travail administratif et transforme la manière dont les équipes chargées de la propriété intellectuelle gèrent les délais, les documents et les exigences de conformité, tout en libérant des ressources pour l'assurance qualité et des activités plus stratégiques.
  • Classificateur IA : révolutionne la manière dont les entreprises classifient leurs portefeuilles de brevets en mappant automatiquement la propriété intellectuelle interne et les brevets externes à la stratégie de classification unique et à la taxonomie propre à l'entreprise, éliminant ainsi des heures de révision manuelle avec une précision de 85 à 90 %.
  • Analyse, traduction et rapport de documents par IA : permet aux professionnels de la propriété intellectuelle d'interagir avec des documents en langage naturel. Le moteur de traduction avancé par IA, spécialisé dans le domaine juridique et de la propriété intellectuelle, facilite la collaboration internationale et garantit que le contenu traduit répond aux exigences juridiques et techniques en matière de précision. De plus, les capacités de rapport par IA permettent d'ingérer des documents longs ou complexes et de combiner les mises à jour provenant de plusieurs sources dans un seul rapport, ce qui permet aux parties prenantes de rester alignées sans avoir à passer des heures à lire manuellement les documents.
  • Protection des marques par l'IA : système de surveillance alimenté par l'IA qui utilise la reconnaissance d'images et la correspondance de textes pour identifier les utilisations non autorisées des actifs de marque. Il analyse les places de marché en ligne, les plateformes de réseaux sociaux, les bureaux de propriété intellectuelle, les enregistrements de noms de domaine et le Web en général, et déclenche automatiquement un processus de génération de plaintes et de gestion des cas au sein du système de gestion de la propriété intellectuelle pour une procédure efficace et précise.

 « Anaqua réinvente la gestion de la propriété intellectuelle à l'ère de l'IA », a déclaré Toni Nijm, directeur produit chez Anaqua. « Notre objectif est de permettre aux équipes chargées de la propriété intellectuelle d'accroître leur productivité et de se concentrer sur des tâches à plus forte valeur ajoutée plutôt que sur des tâches manuelles chronophages. »

North Atlantic France SAS provides updates on the contemplated acquisition of a majority stake in Esso Société Anonyme Française SA

Paris, France, Nov. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

North Atlantic France SAS provides updates on the contemplated acquisition of a majority stake in Esso Société Anonyme Française SA 

  • Turkish antitrust clearance obtained; transaction remains subject to French direct foreign investment authorization and EU Foreign Subsidies clearance
  • Transaction target closing date set for November 28, 2025
  • Esso S.A.F. shareholders approved extraordinary distribution of €60.21 per share
  • Assuming a closing on November 28, 2025, final purchase price of €26.19 per Esso S.A.F. share for the acquisition of the ExxonMobil block of shares and €28.93 per Esso S.A.F. share in the context of the tender offer
  • Esso S.A.F. to be renamed “North Atlantic Energies” upon completion of the transaction

Paris, FRANCE, November 10, 2025 – North Atlantic France SAS (“North Atlantic”) refers to its announcements dated May 28, 2025, September 24, 2025 and October 6, 2025 with respect to the contemplated acquisition from ExxonMobil France Holding SAS (“ExxonMobil”) of ExxonMobil’s entire stake in Esso Société Anonyme Française SA (“Esso S.A.F.”) and in ExxonMobil Chemical France SAS (the “Transaction”).

Regulatory approvals and expected closing timeline

North Atlantic has obtained Turkish antitrust clearance and continues to pursue the remaining regulatory approvals, namely the foreign investment prior authorization from the French Ministry of Economy and the decision of the European Commission under the EU Foreign Subsidies Regulation.

Subject to obtaining these approvals and finalizing certain financing arrangements, North Atlantic and ExxonMobil currently expect to close the Transaction on November 28, 2025.

Block acquisition purchase price of €26.19 per share assuming a closing on November 28, 2025

On October 6, 2025, North Atlantic announced that the price per Esso S.A.F. share of €149.19 would be reduced to €85.18 reflecting (i) a €11.01 downward adjustment for the change in the euro value of Esso S.A.F.'s inventory relative to its value as of December 31, 2024 and (ii) a €53.00 downward adjustment corresponding to the ordinary dividend and the extraordinary dividend paid by Esso S.A.F. on July 10, 2025.

In addition, taking into account the €60.21 per share extraordinary distribution to be paid on November 14, 2025 by Esso S.A.F., following shareholder approval obtained on November 4, 2025 at Esso S.A.F.’s Combined General Meeting, the €85.18 price per share will be further reduced to €24.97.

     Assuming a closing on November 28, 2025, North Atlantic and ExxonMobil have agreed to definitively settle between themselves, on a lump–sum basis, the amount of the price adjustments provided for in the Share Purchase Agreement and to set the price per share to be paid to ExxonMobil at €26.19.1

     On this basis, the price to be paid to Esso S.A.F.’s minority shareholders in the mandatory tender offer for the remaining Esso S.A.F. shares that North Atlantic intends to file before the end of the year is set at €28.932 per share, corresponding to a difference of approximately 10.46% over the price per share paid to ExxonMobil.

Change of corporate name of Esso S.A.F

As resolved at Esso S.A.F.’s Combined General Meeting on November 4, 2025 and subject to completion of the Transaction, Esso S.A.F. will be renamed “North Atlantic Energies.”

North Atlantic reiterates its commitment to delivering a comprehensive and well–managed transition, with the intention to maintain employment and existing compensation and benefits.

1 For the avoidance of doubt, if closing does not occur on November 28, 2025, the price per share to be paid to ExxonMobil will have to be recalculated in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Share Purchase Agreement entered into between ExxonMobil and North Atlantic on September 24, 2025. These adjustments are described in the press release issued by North Atlantic on 6 October 2025. As a reminder (excluding the adjustment referred to in note 2 below, which does not affect the price paid as part of the tender offer), these adjustments relate to:

  • an upward adjustment by a ticking fee mechanism corresponding to accrued interest on (i) a first base amount of €362,000,000 at an interest rate based on the euro short–term rate (ESTR) plus 2% per annum between March 2, 2025 (included) and the closing date (excluded), and (ii) a second base amount of €950,000,000 at a rate of 2.4% per annum between March 2, 2025 (included) and the closing date (excluded);
  • an upward adjustment reflecting an after tax impact amount of (i) the sale to the ExxonMobil group of Esso S.A.F.’s lubricants and specialties marketing business for an estimated price of €8 million (including €3 million for inventories, to be further adjusted at the closing date) and (ii) the sale to the ExxonMobil group of certain trademarks and other intellectual property rights of Esso S.A.F. for an amount of €20 million.

2 This price difference results from the exclusion, with regard to the price paid to the minority shareholders, of the impact of the downward adjustment on the price payable to ExxonMobil with respect to losses relating to post–closing social liabilities as previously announced on September 24, 2025.

North Atlantic France SAS apporte des éléments d’actualisation liés à son projet d’acquisition d’une participation majoritaire dans Esso Société Anonyme Française SA

Paris, France, 10 nov. 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

North Atlantic France SAS apporte des éléments d’actualisation liés à son projet d’acquisition d’une participation majoritaire dans Esso Société Anonyme Française SA 

  • Autorisation en matière de concurrence obtenue en Turquie ; l’opération reste soumise à l'autorisation en matière d'investissements directs étrangers des autorités françaises et à l'autorisation en matière de subventions étrangères de la Commission européenne
  • La date cible de réalisation de la transaction est fixée au 28 novembre 2025
  • Les actionnaires d’Esso S.A.F. ont approuvé la distribution exceptionnelle de 60,21 € par action
  • En cas de réalisation de la Transaction le 28 novembre 2025, le prix d’acquisition final sera de 26,19 € par action Esso S.A.F. au titre de l’acquisition du bloc d’actions détenu par ExxonMobil et de 28,93 € par action Esso S.A.F. dans le cadre de l’offre publique
  • Esso S.A.F. sera renommée « North Atlantic Energies » dès la réalisation de la transaction

Paris, FRANCE, 10 novembre 2025 – North Atlantic France SAS (« North Atlantic ») rappelle ses précédentes annonces en date du 28 mai 2025, du 24 septembre 2025 et du 6 octobre 2025 concernant le projet d'acquisition auprès d’ExxonMobil France Holding SAS (« ExxonMobil ») de l’intégralité des participations d’ExxonMobil dans Esso Société Anonyme Française SA (« Esso S.A.F. ») et dans ExxonMobil Chemical France SAS (la « Transaction »).

Autorisations réglementaires et calendrier de réalisation de la Transaction envisagé

North Atlantic a obtenu l'autorisation des autorités de concurrence turques et poursuit ses démarches pour obtenir les autorisations réglementaires restantes, à savoir l'autorisation préalable en matière d'investissements étrangers du Ministère français de l'Économie et la décision de la Commission européenne en vertu du règlement européen sur les subventions étrangères.

Sous réserve de l'obtention de ces autorisations et de la finalisation de certains accords de financement, North Atlantic et ExxonMobil prévoient actuellement de réaliser la Transaction le 28 novembre 2025.

Prix d’acquisition du bloc de 26,19 € par action en cas de réalisation de la Transaction le 28 novembre 2025

Le 6 octobre 2025, North Atlantic a annoncé que le prix par action Esso S.A.F. de 149,19 € serait ramené à 85,18 €, reflétant (i) un ajustement à la baisse de 11,01 € correspondant au changement dans la valeur en euros du stock d’Esso S.A.F. par rapport à sa valeur au 31 décembre 2024 et (ii) un ajustement à la baisse de 53,00 € correspondant au dividende ordinaire et au dividende exceptionnel versés par Esso S.A.F. le 10 juillet 2025.

En outre, compte tenu de la distribution exceptionnelle de 60,21 € par action qui sera versée le 14 novembre 2025 par Esso S.A.F., à la suite de l’approbation des actionnaires obtenue le 4 novembre 2025 lors de l’assemblée générale mixte d’Esso S.A.F., le prix de 85,18 € par action sera réduit à 24,97 €.

En cas de réalisation de la Transaction le 28 novembre 2025, North Atlantic et ExxonMobil ont convenu d’arrêter définitivement entre eux, de manière forfaitaire, le montant des ajustements de prix prévus au contrat de cession et de fixer le prix par action versé à ExxonMobil à 26,19 €1.

     Sur cette base, le prix qui serait payé aux actionnaires minoritaires d'Esso S.A.F. dans le cadre de l'offre publique d’achat obligatoire sur les actions restantes d'Esso S.A.F. que North Atlantic entend déposer avant la fin de l’année s’établit à 28,93 €2 par action, soit une différence d’environ 10,46 % par rapport au prix par action payé à ExxonMobil.

Changement de la dénomination sociale d’Esso S.A.F

Conformément à la décision prise lors de l'assemblée générale mixte d'Esso S.A.F. le 4 novembre 2025 et sous réserve de la réalisation de la Transaction, Esso S.A.F. sera renommée « North Atlantic Energies ».

North Atlantic rappelle s’être engagée à assurer une transition complète et bien gérée, avec l’intention de maintenir l’emploi, les rémunérations et avantages existants.

1 Afin d'éviter toute ambiguïté, si la réalisation de la Transaction n'a pas lieu le 28 novembre 2025, le prix par action à verser à ExxonMobil devra être recalculé conformément aux termes et conditions du contrat d’acquisition d'actions conclu entre ExxonMobil et North Atlantic le 24 septembre 2025. Ces ajustements sont décrits dans le communiqué de presse publié par North Atlantic le 6 octobre 2025. Pour mémoire (en excluant l’ajustement visé à la note 2 ci–après qui n’affecte pas le prix payé dans le cadre de l’offre), ces ajustements concernent :

  • un ajustement à la hausse résultant du mécanisme de ticking fee correspondant aux intérêts courus sur (i) un premier montant de base de 362 000 000 € à un taux d’intérêt fondé sur le taux à court terme de l’euro (ESTR) majoré de 2 % par an entre le 2 mars 2025 (inclus) et la date de clôture (exclue), et (ii) un second montant de base de 950 000 000 € à un taux de 2,4 % par an entre le 2 mars 2025 (inclus) et la date de clôture (exclue).
  • un ajustement à la hausse reflétant un montant net d’impôt de (i) la cession au groupe ExxonMobil de l’activité de commercialisation des lubrifiants et spécialités d’Esso S.A.F. pour un prix estimé de 8 millions d’euros (dont 3 millions d’euros au titre des stocks, à ajuster de nouveau à la date de clôture) et (ii) la cession au groupe ExxonMobil de certaines marques et autres droits de propriété intellectuelle d’Esso S.A.F. pour un montant de 20 millions d’euros.

2 Cette différence de prix résulte de l’exclusion, s’agissant du prix payé aux actionnaires minoritaires, de l'impact de l'ajustement à la baisse du prix payable à ExxonMobil au titre des pertes liées aux passifs sociaux postérieurs à la date de réalisation, comme précédemment annoncé le 24 septembre 2025.
