The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. has announced that it has indirectly crossed the 10% threshold of voting rights in WORLDLINE, holding 11.60% of the share capital and 10.02% of the voting rights. This crossing resulted from an off-market acquisition of 32,951,259 shares. Various derivative contracts are associated with this stake, including call and put options and swaps, exercisable until 2040.

Goldman Sachs clarifies that this transaction is the result of routine market-making activities, with no intention of acquiring control of WORLDLINE.
