Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Criteo S.A. announced that two major proxy advisory firms, Glass Lewis and ISS, recommend that shareholders vote “FOR” all proposals related to moving the company’s legal domicile from France to Luxembourg via a cross-border conversion and changing its listing structure. The plan would replace Criteo’s American Depositary Shares with ordinary shares that would be directly listed on Nasdaq. A general meeting of shareholders is scheduled for February 27, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Paris time at the company’s Paris headquarters to seek approval for the conversion and related items.

Insights

Corporate governance analyst

Proxy advisors back Criteo’s move to Luxembourg and listing change.

Criteo has received support from Glass Lewis and ISS for proposals to shift its legal domicile from France to Luxembourg and to move from an American Depositary Share structure to directly listed ordinary shares on Nasdaq.

These recommendations often influence institutional investors, so alignment from both firms may increase the likelihood that the proposals gain sufficient shareholder support at the general meeting on February 27, 2026. The impact ultimately depends on how shareholders vote at that meeting.

The proposals, if approved, would alter Criteo’s corporate law framework and share structure, which can affect governance practices and how some investors hold the stock. Outcomes and any follow-on changes will be observable after the shareholder meeting on February 27, 2026.
