Atos SE’s debt woes are rippling through the commercial mortgage-backed securities of the troubled IT provider’s landlords in Paris and Frankfurt.
In recent weeks two ratings agencies downgraded River Green Finance 2020 DAC — a CMBS underpinned by the River Ouest office block, which is largely occupied by Atos’ headquarters. S&P Global Ratings, meanwhile, cut the ratings of Taurus 2021-DE3 securities linked to the Squaire office-complex near Frankfurt’s main airport, where an Atos subsidiary contributes around 10% of the annual rent.
