French film company Gaumont, one of France's oldest companies, is facing a delisting from Euronext Paris after a dispute with minority investors seeking an exit. The Seydoux family, which controls nearly 90% of the company, has been ordered by the French watchdog body, Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF), to make a public buyout offer to buy out all remaining shareholders, including funds such as HMG, Gay-Lussac and Axxion. The ruling was upheld by the Paris Court of Appeal. The deadline for the public purchase of remaining shareholders now expires in mid-April. Despite initially challenging the AMF's ruling, Gaumon and its controlling shareholders now find themselves in a difficult position.
