Racing Studio Nacon Finds the Wall Due to Financial Turmoil

by

Financial problems with Nacon’s parent company have forced it to stop trading shares.

Nacon is a company best known for making gaming accessories like controllers and PC equipment. They also develop and publish their own video games, with a focus on racing games like the WRC series. However, they’ve also released some less successful titles, most notably The Lord of the Rings: Gollum.

Nacon is a company owned by Bigben Interactive, which is currently facing financial difficulties. As a result, Nacon has paused trading of its stock while it works to reorganize and ensure it can continue business.

Nacon Has Temporarily Ceased Trading Shares

Nacon is facing difficulties because its main owner, Bigben Interactive, hasn’t been able to pay off a €43 million debt. As a result, both companies have temporarily stopped trading their stocks and bonds on the Euronext Paris and Euronext Access Paris markets.

Nacon is facing a difficult situation. Its parent company, Bigben Interactive, must find a way to deal with its debts, either by paying them off immediately or by agreeing on a plan to repay them over time. They’ve indicated they’re considering all options, which may include legal action.

Bigben Interactive, the company’s largest owner, is having trouble paying its 43 million euro debt to those who hold its bonds.

Following recent developments, Bigben announced that the company is exploring options with bondholders, including a possible extension of the repayment deadline. They are also looking into formal debt restructuring processes that would be overseen by the court.

When a company stops trading its shares, it’s a very serious warning sign and could potentially lead to bankruptcy, though not always. In this case, it might result in the company being bought out or shutting down completely, which would be devastating for all the studios owned by Nacon and Bigben. Nacon has stated they will share more details in the next few days, hopefully when trading is restored.
