The Accor Board of Directors met today under the chairmanship of Gilles Pelisson to review the analysis of the potential benefits of demerging Accor's two businesses.
The Board expressed its satisfaction with the progress made in preparing two development plans, one for the hotel business and the other for the services business, which demonstrate the long-term viability and profitability of both businesses and their ability to meet the challenges that lay ahead.
The initial elements regarding the feasibility of the demerger from legal, social and financial standpoints were also presented at the meeting.
Once more detailed analyses have been performed based on the
initial elements presented to date, the Board will meet again in order to make a decision about the project by the end of the year.
