And, even if it does, it now appears more and more likely that the related planned size of Eviden&#8217;s capital increase (\u20ac900m to strengthen its finances) will be reduced or might even be dropped entirely.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The proposed deal would also hand the head of EPEI, Czech billionaire Daniel K\u0159et\u00ednsk\u00fd, a 7.5 percent stake in Eviden \u2013 a matter of contention in French politics.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In October 2023, Les Republicans&#8217; Olivier Marleix and the Socialist Party&#8217;s Philippe Brun <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2023\/10\/24\/atos_nationalization_calls\/\">suggested the government nationalize Atos<\/a> on security grounds, since the BDS perimeter \u2013 part of Eviden \u2013 manages highly sensitive projects.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The French army&#8217;s telephone system and various communications and combat software for the navy were cited as the main concerns. BDS also develops encryption keys, the Scorpion Combat System, and software for urban surveillance projects, the emergency services, and domestic intelligence research, among other things.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We cannot allow a foreign company to take control of these activities that are absolutely essential to our national independence,&#8221; Brun said.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"crosshead\">Leadership shakeup<\/h3>\n<p>Today&#8217;s announcement also revealed a shuffled board of directors, with Fran\u00e7oise Mercadal-Delasales and Jean-Jacques Morin appointed for their skills in finance and major transformation projects.<\/p>\n<p>It has been a turbulent time at the top of Atos, which has seen three CEOs take the helm in as many years.<\/p>\n<p>Yves Bernaert is the current serving leader, appointed in October 2023 to complete the Eviden-ATF separation. He followed Nourdine Bihmane, who took over from Belmer in 2022 and is now in the position of deputy CEO.<\/p>\n<p>The rapid turnover of leaders at the ailing company has seen shares fall by more than
