CMA CGM sells part of the foreign activities of Bolloré Logistics to the Balguerie Group
In line with the commitments made by CMA CGM to the European Commission and the Polynesian Competition Authority in the context of the acquisition of Bolloré Logistics, CMA CGM has initiated the sale of 100% of Bolloré Logistics' activities in Guadeloupe, Martinique, Saint-Martin, French Guiana, and Polynesia, according to the company's release.
In this context, the CMA CGM Group has received a put option from the Balguerie Group with whom it has signed an exclusivity agreement for the sale of these activities.
The confirmation of this put option will occur following the information and consultation procedures of the competent work councils.
Additionally, the effective acquisition of these activities by the Balguerie Group is subject to obtaining applicable regulatory approvals, as well as approval from both competition authorities under the commitments made by CMA CGM.
Bolloré Logistics' activities in La Reunion and Nouvelle Calédonie are not affected by the sale and will therefore remain within the scope of the CMA CGM Group.
