EURO Ressources S.A. (Paris: EUR) today announced that its Ordinary Annual Shareholder's Meeting ("AGM") will be held in Paris on May 17, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. The documents relating to the AGM will be sent to all registered shareholders no later than April 23, 2010.

Since there are no more restrictions on EURO's cash, the Board of Directors proposed a distribution of issuance premium in the amount of EUR 0.28 per common share payable on May 25, 2010. The issuance premium relates to the paid-in-capital paid by shareholders anytime there was an increase of capital of EURO, minus the par value. This distribution is tax free for all shareholders. The amount of the proposed distribution of issuance premium represents the accumulation of excess cash. The distribution of issuance premium will be subject to shareholder approval and any future distributions of issuance premium will be proposed by the Board of Directors after taking into account various factors, including the company's operating results, financial condition, current and anticipated cash needs, and will be subject to shareholder approval.
