Primary Evidence
"This acquisition was concluded for the sum of 840 million Belgian francs from Jean-Pierre de Bodt and the Belgian state, who are, in a way, interim shareholders. Half is paid in SFFAW securities held by the parent company SFFAW and by a Belgian subsidiary, the Peigné de Malines, a former wool spinning mill of the group turned into a holding company. The other part is settled by a two-year bank loan."

"After this operation and some purchases on the stock market, his holding company now owns 36% of the capital, which, together with the self-controlled shares and those held by Peigné de Malines (a subsidiary of SFFAW) and Belle Jardinière, gives him an absolute majority."
