Insights

Cross-border corporate actions analyst

Criteo seeks shareholder approval to move its legal home to Luxembourg, with multiple conditions and disclosed risks.

Criteo plans a shareholder vote on several linked proposals to implement a redomiciliation from France to Luxembourg. The communication explains that the Conversion, Charter, Auditor and Delegation Proposals are interdependent, meaning each must be approved for the transaction to proceed. Shareholders receive a proxy statement/prospectus and draft resolutions to assess how the move may alter the company’s legal framework and governance.

The forward-looking discussion lists numerous contingencies: failure to secure the required vote, conditions tied to a cash withdrawal option, legal or regulatory challenges, and the risk that shares may not be listed or remain listed on Nasdaq after the move. It also notes the board can defer or abandon the redomiciliation up to three days before the meeting, and that a later merger into a U.S. subsidiary may face delays or fail.

The narrative flags operational and strategic uncertainties, including adapting to Luxembourg law, potential disruption to relationships with stakeholders, and tax or cost effects. Future filings, including the Form S-4 and proxy statement/prospectus, are identified as key sources for more detail on risk factors, shareholder rights changes, and the mechanics of any subsequent step to redomicile to the United States.
