Carrefour (Paris:CA):
At the Annual General Meeting held today, Carrefour's
shareholders approved the proposed €0.62 per share dividend for the
2013 financial year and decided to offer shareholders an option to
receive the dividend payment in shares.
The issue price of the new shares to be issued in consideration
for the dividend has been set at €26.10. This issue price
represents 95% of the average opening prices quoted on the
regulated market of Euronext Paris during the 20 trading days
preceding the date of the Annual General Meeting, less the amount
of the proposed dividend, and rounded upward to the nearest euro
cent.
The ex-date is set on April 24, 2014. The shareholders may opt
for the dividend payment in cash or in new shares from April 24 to
May 15, 2014 included, by sending their request to their financial
intermediaries. For the shareholders who have not exercised their
dividend payment option by May 15, 2014, the dividend shall only be
paid in cash1.
For the shareholders who have not opted for a dividend payment
in shares, the dividend shall be paid in cash on May 28, 2014. For
the shareholders who have opted to receive the dividend in shares,
settlement and delivery of the shares will be on May 28, 2014.
If the amount of dividends for which the option is exercised
does not correspond to a whole number of shares, shareholders may
choose to either receive the rounded-up whole number of shares by
paying the difference in cash on the day they exercise the option
or receive the rounded-down whole number of shares and the balance
in cash.
The shares issued as dividend payment will carry dividend rights
as from January 1, 2014. An application to list these new shares on
NYSE Euronext Paris will be made. The new shares will rank pari
passu with existing shares and will be fully fungible with existing
shares already listed.
The maximum total number of new shares which may be issued for
the purpose of the dividend payment in shares is 17,053,689 shares
(excluding additional shares issued for rounding purposes),
representing approximately 2.36% of the share capital and 2.10% of
the voting rights of Carrefour based on the total number of shares
and voting rights as of March 31, 2014.
1 ADR holders may be subject to different election and payment
conditions and should consult the depositary for more
information.
