The family that owns Rothschild & Co holds 95.65% of the investment bank's share capital following the public tender offer it launched to delist it, announces the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) in a notice published on Tuesday.

The listing of Rothschild & Co shares will remain suspended until the squeeze-out is implemented, the notice adds.

Last February, Rothschild & Co announced plans by the group's family owners - shareholders through the Concordia holding company - to delist the investment bank from the Paris stock exchange.
