    Défense : l'américain Teledyne va racheter Photonis à prix soldé

    Le groupe de Thousand Oaks a déclaré avoir obtenu un « accord de principe » pour acquérir le leader français de l'optronique à un prix 15 % moins élevé que celui de départ, soit 425 millions d'euros. Une réduction accordée par le vendeur Ardian suite aux conditions imposées les pouvoirs publics tricolores. Anne Drif La pépite de l'optronique militaire Photonis s'apprête bien à basculer sous pavillon américain... et pour 15 % moins cher. « Je pense que nous avons un accord de principe maintenant et nous avons besoin de finaliser les formalités administratives », a déclaré à la séance de questions analystes Robert Mehrabian, le président exécutif de l'acquéreur américain Teledyne, lors de ses résultats fin octobre. Le groupe de Thousand Oaks compte mettre ainsi la main sur Photonis pour 75 millions d'euros de moins, soit au final 425 millions d'euros, confirment des sources proches du dossier. Fin septembre, après des mois de négociations avec le ministère des Finances, des Armées et la reprise en main du dossier par l'Elysée suite à la vaste polémique soulevée par ce projet de cession auprès des parlementaires, Teledyne avait fait part à la SEC son intention de retirer sa demande d'autorisation d'achat auprès du gouvernement français. Une décision que ses opposants dans l'Hexagone ont immédiatement interprété comme un abandon à l'usure, lié aux exigences de gouvernance et le droit de veto imposés par les pouvoirs publics tricolores. https://www.lesechos.fr/industrie-services/air-defense/defense-lamericain-teledyne-va-racheter-photonis-a-prix-solde-1259299
