Press release
Paris, 8 January 2026
Exail Technologies announces that its convertible bond issued in September 2025 now benefits from Euronext's European Defence Bond label. This label, launched in July 2025, aims to direct private capital towards eligible projects in the fields of defense and security in Europe. It is based on clear criteria for the use of funds, which are defined in consultation with investors, issuers and financial institutions.
On September 23, Exail Technologies raised €300 million in the form of ODIRNANE convertible bonds.
