Bigben Interactive Suspends Trading Amid Financial Challenges

On February 20, 2026, Bigben Interactive announced the temporary suspension of trading in its shares on Euronext Paris and its bonds on Euronext Access Paris. This request follows financial hurdles faced by the company, stemming from an unexpected refusal by its banking pool. The refusal relates to a drawdown notice associated with the partial refinancing of exchangeable bonds for Nacon's ordinary shares.

Planned repayment of €43 million in bonds, originally for February 19, 2026, could not proceed. Consequently, Bigben Interactive is consulting with creditors to ensure business continuity and explore debt restructuring options. The suspension affects their shares and bonds, alongside the liquidity contract on Bigben’s shares, remaining in place until further notice.
