Worldline's threshold crossing by BlackRock Inc.

On October 24, 2025, BlackRock Inc. crossed below the 5% threshold of voting rights in Worldline, as reported to the AMF (French Financial Markets Authority). This decrease resulted from the sale of shares on the market and a reduction in shares held as collateral by BlackRock. The company now holds 15,682,692 shares, representing 5.52% of the share capital and 4.77% of the voting rights of Worldline.

BlackRock, the asset manager for its clients and funds, explains that this decline in voting rights is primarily due to Worldline share sales and collateral adjustments. These movements impact their influence on Worldline's strategic decisions.

This development is in line with the articles of the commercial code relating to the transparency of threshold crossings, involving in particular "contracts for differences" and securities lending and borrowing.
