    "body": "<p>The Belgian State, ENGIE S.A. and Electrabel NV/SA have agreed to extend until 12 December 2026 the target date for concluding the Heads of Terms (HoT), provided for in the Letter of Intent of 29 April 2026, in connection with the potential acquisition of the nuclear activities by the Belgian State.</p><p>Given the current circumstances, and the complexity and scale of the contemplated transaction, the parties have agreed to allow additional time to continue their discussions. </p><p>Indeed, the in-depth discussions held over recent months between ENGIE and the Belgian State have led to progress and strengthened the mutual understanding of the issues involved. However, significant differences remain, notably regarding the valuation of the transaction, and the parties wish to take the time needed to try to reconcile their positions.</p><p>The parties have therefore agreed to a maximum extension of one additional month.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>CONTACTS</strong></p>\n<div\n    class=\"table-container table-container-fixed\"\n    style=\"--width:721px\"\n>\n    <table\n        class=\"table table-bordered table-fixed\"\n    >\n                            <tbody>\n                            <tr>\n                                            <td class=\"border\" style=\"min-width: 360px; max-width: 360px\"><div class=\"text-default v-spacing\"><p><strong>Prime Minister&rsquo;s Office: \u200b </strong></p><p>FR &ndash; Anne Laure MOULIGNEAUX </p><p>Tel. : +32 497 47 16 08</p><p><a href=\"mailto:anne-laure.mouligneaux@premier.be\">anne-laure.mouligneaux@premier.be</a> </p><p> </p><p>NL &ndash; Johan VERMANT</p><p>Tel. : +32 491 35 84 87</p><p><a href=\"mailto:johan.vermant@premier.be\">johan.vermant@premier.be</a> </p></div></td>                                            <td class=\"border\" style=\"min-width: 360px; max-width: 360px\"><div class=\"text-default v-spacing\"><p><strong>Ministry of Energy&rsquo;s Office:</strong></p><p>Sepanta SEHATI \u200b </p><p>Tel. : +32 492 70 43 29</p><p><a href=\"mailto:sepanta.sehati@bihet.belgium.be\">sepanta.sehati@bihet.belgium.be</a> \u200b \u200b </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p></div></td>                                    </tr>\n                            <tr>\n                                            <td class=\"border\" style=\"min-width: 360px; max-width: 360px\"><div class=\"text-default v-spacing\"><p><strong>ENGIE HQ Press contact:</strong></p><p>Tel. : +33 (0)1 44 22 24 35</p><p><a href=\"mailto:engiepress@engie.com\">engiepress@engie.com</a> \u200b <a href=\"https://x.com/ENGIEnewsroom\">https://x.com/ENGIEnewsroom</a> </p></div></td>                                            <td class=\"border\" style=\"min-width: 360px; max-width: 360px\"><div class=\"text-default v-spacing\"><p><strong>ENGIE Investor relations contact:</strong></p><p>Tel. &ndash; +33 (0)1 44 22 66 29</p><p><a href=\"mailto:ir@engie.com\">ir@engie.com</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p></div></td>                                    </tr>\n                        </tbody>\n            </table>\n</div>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>",
