PARIS : Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky is looking at options to try to persuade creditors to side with him in the battle for Atos, a source close to the matter said, as the distressed IT firm seeks a debt restructuring plan by May 31.

Kretinsky's EP Equity Investment vehicle, in partnership with British fund Attestor, is so far offering to erase more than 90 per cent of Atos' 4.8 billion-euro financial debt and sell large parts of the company, with the proceeds partially distributed to creditors. The consortium is facing off against French IT consulting firm Onepoint, led by Atos' top shareholder David Layani, which along with other partners such as Butler Industries is offering creditors a smaller debt reduction and cash injection, access to Atos' equity, and the preservation of Atos' assets beyond the ones already targeted by the French government.
