PARIS, May 23 (Reuters) - The French state will request a squeeze-out for the shares in energy giant EDF which it does not already own, said EDF, citing a filing from France's AMF stock market regulator.

Following the re-opening of its buyout offer, the state now owns 3,908,590,275 EDF shares, representing 97.69% of its share capital and at least 98.04% of its voting rights, added EDF.
