Safran Enters Exclusive Negotiations for Potential Acquisition

Safran, a leading international high-technology group, has confirmed its entry into exclusive negotiations for the potential acquisition of Exail Technologies. The proposed transaction values Exail Technologies at 128.50 euros per share. This acquisition would involve Safran obtaining the controlling stake currently held by the Gorgé family and would be followed by a mandatory public offer.

However, Safran has stated that there is no guarantee that these discussions will lead to a finalized agreement or the completion of the transaction. The move aligns with Safran's goal of maintaining leadership in aviation, defense, and space markets. In 2025, Safran reported revenues of 31.3 billion euros and employed over 110,000 people globally.
