The company sold ORT SAS, a credit evaluation company, for €71 million, to Coface, a credit insurance company owned by Natexis Banques Populaires. ORT posted profit of €6.7 million for 2003 and had assets of €16 million at year end. It sold TowerGroup to MasterCard earlier in the year. Its third research asset – the Yankee Group – remains on the block.
