LuxTrust: Conversion of the JV in Commercial Alliance

  • At the end of the two-year period following the investment, the shareholders InfoCert and LuxTrust Development S.A. 1 have verified a divergence of strategic objectives. In fact, LuxTrust Development believes that it is a priority in the coming years to focus LuxTrust's attention on its core markets to ensure a strong development of the digital economy.
  • Therefore, by mutual agreement, it was decided to proceed to dissolve the Joint Venture and transform it into a strong commercial alliance. In this context, InfoCert will collaborate with LuxTrust and will pursue its strategy in Europe with the aim of creating a pan-European leader in Trust Services.
  • On 9 November LuxTrust Development, in accordance with the Shareholders' Agreement of 21 December 2018, communicated that it was exercising its Call Option on 6,207,777 class B shares held by InfoCert S.p.A., which correspond to 50% of the share capital of LuxTrust. The exercise will take place at the original subscription price of €12.0 million.
