A fourth offer from Bain Capital has already been discarded by the board.

The company on Monday also confirmed that a first agreement for a temporary credit facility of 100 million euros 107.64 million was signed with some of its creditors, while talks with banks and the state to provide another 350 million euros had also made progress.

The group, which has been in talks with its banks for several weeks to negotiate refinancing, has said it needs 1.1 billion in cash to finance its business over the period 20242025.
