Nacon Files for Insolvency, Seeks Court-Supervised Reorganisation After Parent’s Bond Repayment Failure

A court hearing in early March will determine whether Nacon enters formal judicial reorganisation under French law.

Overview

  • The French publisher and peripherals maker filed in Lille and requested redressement judiciaire after stating its available assets cannot meet due liabilities.
  • Nacon cites majority shareholder Bigben Interactive’s inability to make a partial bond repayment following an unexpected refusal by its banking pool, with reports referencing a €43 million refinancing tranche.
  • Trading in Nacon shares on Euronext Paris has been suspended since February 20 and remains halted pending the court’s decision.
  • The requested procedure would freeze liabilities during an observation period of up to 18 months to renegotiate debts, continue operations, and protect employees; worker representatives were notified on February 24.
  • Upcoming plans, including the Nacon Connect showcase on March 4 and GreedFall 2’s 1.0 launch on March 12, are scheduled but face uncertainty as proceedings unfold.
