Getlink Welcomes Eiffage Support for Its Strategy
Getlink (Paris:GET) notes the announcement, on Wednesday October 26, by
Eiffage, that it had entered into the process of acquiring the shares held by
TCI Fund Management Limited (TCI) with a view to becoming the Group's largest
shareholder, with 18.79% of the capital.
Jacques Gounon, Chairman of Getlink stated: “This strengthening of the
Eiffage position is the logical continuation of the interest they have shown
in the very high quality Getlink asset since 2018. I am delighted to welcome
Eiffage as a major shareholder and would like to thank TCI for having
supported our strategic objectives and, in particular, for having provided
such significant support for our positioning as an environmental
investment.”
About Getlink
Getlink SE (Euronext Paris: GET) is, through its subsidiary Eurotunnel, the
concession holder for the infrastructure of the Channel Tunnel until 2086.
Eurotunnel operates Truck and Passenger Shuttle services (cars and coaches)
between Folkestone (UK) and Calais (France). It provides the fastest, most
reliable, easiest and most environmentally friendly way across the English
Channel. Since its opening in 1994, more than 476 million people and 98
million vehicles have travelled through the Channel Tunnel. Carrying 25% of
UK-EU trade, this unique land connection has become a vital link between the
Continent and the United Kingdom. This performance is reinforced by ElecLink,
the new electrical interconnector installed inside the Tunnel. Getlink’s
sustainable mobility services offering is completed by its rail freight
subsidiary, Europorte, which offers a wide range of integrated rail services.
Committed to "low-carbon" services and reduced environmental impact (the Group
prevents the equivalent of 2 million tonnes of CO(2) emission per year through
its activities), Getlink puts people, nature and territories at the heart of
its concerns.
