Acquisitions

 

Plenitude

 

On December 22, 2025, Plenitude finalized the acquisition from Neoen, of a portfolio of 52 operating renewable generation plants and one operating battery, for a total of approximately 760 MW of installed capacity located throughout France. The total cash consideration of the transaction amounted to €234 million with acquisition of: (i) current and non-current assets for €1,040 million; (ii) net borrowings for €724 million, of which cash and cash equivalents for €38 million; (iv) current and non-current liabilities for €82 million. In the case of subsidiaries acquired exclusively for the purpose of sale/contribution, the Group, in applying the so-called short-cut method, does not fully consolidate the individual assets and liabilities, but instead separately presents assets and liabilities subject to future sale/contribution in the balance sheet.
