The combined general meeting of Groupe Eurotunnel SA (Paris:GET)
(LSE:GETS) held today 26 April 2012 in Coquelles (France) brought
together 60% of the capital of the company.
All resolutions put to shareholders by the Board of directors
were approved by an overwhelming majority1.
The ordinary general meeting of Groupe Eurotunnel SA, having
approved the statutory and consolidated financial statements,
approved the distribution of a dividend of 8 cents of a euro per
share, being double the amount of last year’s dividend, and
ratified the appointment and approved the reappointment of Mrs.
Colette Lewiner and Lord Peter Levene.
The board of directors comprises almost 30% of women members and
is international in its composition (36% of directors are not
French) with over 50% of board members being independent. The board
of directors of Groupe Eurotunnel SA is thus following the best
practice recommended by the AFEP-MEDEF corporate governance
code.
After the general meeting, the Board resolved to award 310
shares free of charge to each of the 3,556 Group employees. This
award complements the award of 200 shares free of charge made last
year.
Jacques Gounon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
Groupe Eurotunnel, stated:
“I would like to thank all shareholders who, through their
clearly expressed vote and their loyalty, support the long-term
strategy of the Group and show their interest in the life of our
business.”
