Still aims for final financial restructuring deal by July (Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor) - Paris , 06 Jun - The troubled French information technology group Atos said it has extended the deadline for a preferred financial restructuring proposal to the "beginning of the week" of June 10.

There are currently two offers, one from the Czech businessman Daniel Kretinsky and another from a consortium led by Onepoint, the main shareholder in Atos.

"Atos confirms that it is currently in discussions with the two parties that submitted revised restructuring proposals to further improve certain terms of those proposals," it said in a statement.

"The Conciliator has also requested more time to maximise support from the Company's financial creditors for their preferred proposal," Atos added.

Atos said the extension does not change its aim of reaching a final financial restructuring agreement by July.
