Atos has confirmed its receipt of four competing proposals to strengthen its finances. The groups pitching the company include Bain Capital, Onepoint and partner Butler Industries, a coalition of banks and bondholders, and a partnership between Attestor and EP Equity Investment (EPEI.) Bain’s proposal was immediately rejected by Atos. EPEI’s pitch, meanwhile, is still in contention. Controlled by Czech billionaire Daniel Křetínský, the investment organisation was previously in discussions to buy Atos’ Tech Foundations unit, only for those talks to collapse. 

“I would like to thank each of the submitting parties for their refinancing proposals received as part of our current conciliation process,” said the IT firm's chairman, Jean-Pierre Mustier. “I am pleased to note that the key representatives of our bondholders and of our banking group are working together constructively to find a refinancing solution for Atos.”
