French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire on Sunday said he had moved to acquire the 'sovereign activities' of debt-laden French tech giant Atos and prevent foreign ownership of them.

Atos, which runs supercomputers for France's nuclear deterrent, holds contracts with the French army and is the IT partner for this year's Paris Olympics, is sagging under almost five billion euros of debt.

Le Maire told television channel LCI that he had sent a letter of intent, a non-binding action, this weekend"with a view to acquiring all the sovereign activities of Atos".This would avoid strategic activities"falling under the ownership of foreign actors", he added.
