Worldline Announces a Capital Increase of 392 Million Euros
Worldline has announced the launch of a capital increase with the maintenance of preferential subscription rights, amounting to approximately 392 million euros in gross. This move marks the final stage of an equity capital raising of around 500 million euros aimed at supporting its strategic transformation plan, North Star 2030.
The capital increase with preferential subscription rights is intended to strengthen the financial structure of the Worldline Group. The net proceeds from this operation, combined with the capital increases reserved on March 10, 2026, for approximately 108 million euros, will fund the financing of the North Star 2030 plan. This program aims to accelerate the return to growth and restore strong cash flow generation for the leading European payment infrastructure and services group.
