Thales could be tempted by Atos defence assets, says CFO
PARIS (Reuters) -French defence group Thales opened the door on Tuesday to buying part of the strategic assets of troubled IT company Atos while Czech businessman Daniel Kretinsky also prepares an offer, BFM Business reported. The government has made a provisional offer to acquire various strategically important assets from Atos, including its Advanced Computing, Mission-Critical Systems and Cyber Products divisions, and said it would also seek industrial partners. Thales, which is partially owned by the state, has repeatedly said it is not interested in the Atos computing assets known as Big Data & Security (BDS) because they do not fit its fast-expanding civil cybersecurity business.
