PARIS, April 8 (Reuters) - Eramet's ERMT.PA main shareholders have reaffirmed their support for the mining group's funding plan and are committed to the success of a capital increase, a spokesperson said on Wednesday.
The decision by the Duval family, Eramet's largest shareholder, to appoint an adviser is standard practice in the context of a capital increase, the spokesperson said in an emailed statement following a Financial Times report that said the Duvals had hired bankers as they consider selling their stake.
