EVENTIM's ambition is to grow its business by continuing to deploy technology and develop EVENTIM’s brands to serve promoters and reach more fans. The sale of this 17% stake by Fnac Darty to CTS EVENTIM was finalized after receiving regulatory antitrust approvals from the European Commission and Swiss authorities. With this transaction, CTS EVENTIM becomes the majority shareholder in France Billet which will be operated under joint control, with Fnac Darty retaining a 35% stake and continuing involvement in the governance of the company. Starting in December, France Billet will be fully consolidated in the financial results of CTS EVENTIM. The management team and key contacts at France Billet will remain in place, ensuring continuity and stability for promoters and other partners. Fnac Darty intends to continue to promote culture and to support the ticketing business in France. France Billet will continue to use the Fnac Spectacles brand and operate ticketing in Fnac stores.
