On that date, the share price of the banking group was CFAF 4,150 (€6.3), which valued the Côte d’Ivoire pension fund’s shares at CFAF 25,316,630,275. Yesterday, a week after the various reports in the local and foreign press, including the cancellation of the deal by CGRAE on 29 August in a letter to SGI Hudson & Co, Oragroup’s share price closed at CFA F 4,060. Later, on 31 August, Hudson issued a statement explaining that it was not involved in the deal.
