    <summary>French investment group Meridiam becomes majority shareholder, with 66%, of the project company behind the Greece-Cyprus subsea power cable, while Greek grid operator Admie keeps the remaining third. The project is estimated at €1.9bn; whether Cyprus itself becomes a shareholder will only be decided after a financing study by the European Investment Bank, expected by year-end. The sources give no purchase price (Cyprus Mail, 6 Aug 2026; second source: Protothema, 5 Aug 2026). — Sources: https://cyprus-mail.com/2026/08/06/french-investors-entry-gives-great-sea-interconnector-new-momentum-damianos-says · https://en.protothema.gr/2026/08/05/france-strengthens-greece-cyprus-power-link-as-meridiam-acquires-majority-stake/</summary>

    <summary>On 27 July 2026 the Toulouse commercial court rejected investment banker Matthieu Pigasse's takeover bid for Fibre Excellence as inadmissible, because a condition precedent regarding state aid had not been met — the government had refused the public support required. This seals the liquidation of the Tarascon pulp mill and its roughly 275 jobs; employees responded by blockading the site. The sister plant at Saint-Gaudens (Haute-Garonne) won a reprieve until the end of August 2026 after an anonymous buyer expressed late interest. — Source: https://france3-regions.franceinfo.fr/occitanie/gard/nimes/liquidation-actee-usine-bloquee-et-275-emplois-supprimes-ce-que-l-on-sait-de-la-chute-de-l-usine-fibre-excellence-a-tarascon-3393112.html</summary>

    <summary>The Modalis Group has operated as MODAL Group since 18 February 2026 and reports several steps taken at the start of the year: to widen its technical know-how it has acquired SOMAP Technologies (Bouches-du-Rhône), a specialist in maintenance, inspection and refurbishment of pressure equipment such as gas cylinders and containers, above all for industrial and cryogenic gases. It has also set up MODALIS Intermodal in the United Kingdom (rental of intermodal equipment) and Air Flow Shanghai Logistics, plans to launch its own rail company TRAIX in 2026 and, with partners, was awarded the logistics management of five inland ports in Lorraine on behalf of the waterways authority VNF. The report gives neither a purchase price nor the takeover date, so the date of the report is used; the group has 250 employees in eight countries and generated more than EUR 100 million in revenue in 2025.
