Verallia has reduced the amount allocated to its liquidity agreement from €5 million to €1.2 million following changes in the company’s free float after BWGI’s voluntary public tender offer in France.
The company confirmed the amendment applies to the liquidity agreement signed with Rothschild Martin Maurel in December 2019 and activated in January 2020. The adjustment follows lower market liquidity needs after recent ownership changes.
Verallia said the liquidity agreement can still be suspended temporarily under French market regulations or technical conditions, including shareholder vote counting periods and dividend-related operations. The agreement may also be terminated by either party under the contract terms.
The company remains one of Europe’s largest glass packaging suppliers for food and beverage producers. Verallia operates 35 glass production facilities across 12 countries and produced nearly 18 billion glass bottles and jars in 2025. The group reported revenue of €3.3 billion last year.
The announcement mainly reflects a financial market adjustment rather than a direct operational change, but the company remains an important supplier across the wider France FMCG and packaging sector, particularly for beverage, food jar, and sustainable glass packaging supply chains.
Verallia also reiterated its long-term sustainability targets, including its Net Zero 2040 roadmap aligned with the Paris Agreement.
