Nacon has issued a formal response to the financial instability of its majority shareholder, Bigben Interactive, following a critical liquidity failure. Bigben Interactive, which controls 56.72% of Nacon’s share capital and 65.79% of its voting rights, was unable to meet a scheduled €43 million partial bond repayment due on February 19, 2026. This default was triggered by an unexpected refusal from Bigben Interactive’s banking pool to honor a drawdown notice intended to fund the debt obligation. Consequently, the parent company is now exploring court-supervised debt restructuring procedures to address its insolvency. The scope of this announcement focuses on the immediate financial risks facing Nacon as a subsidiary within the broader European gaming market. While Nacon reported an IFRS revenue of €167.9 million and an operating profit of €1.1 million for the 2024/2025 fiscal year, the parent company’s inability to secure financing creates significant uncertainty regarding Nacon’s own operational funding and strategic stability. The company currently manages 16 development studios and a workforce of over 1,000 employees, maintaining a distribution network that spans 100 countries. Management is currently conducting a comprehensive assessment of how this shareholder-level debt crisis will impact Nacon’s internal activities and existing financing arrangements. As a publicly traded entity on the Euronext Paris, Nacon has committed to providing further market updates as the situation evolves. The primary objective of this communication is to maintain transparency with investors and stakeholders while the company evaluates the potential contagion effects of Bigben Interactive’s restructuring efforts on its publishing and peripheral manufacturing divisions.
