Minority shareholders of Carrefour Brazil mostly choose Carrefour shares as consideration
Following the approval by minority shareholders of Grupo Carrefour Brasil ("Carrefour Brazil") on April 25 of the proposed acquisition of all outstanding shares not yet held by Carrefour Group, minority shareholders elected their form of consideration.
Shareholders' Election ResultsMinority shareholders representing the remaining 32.6% of Carrefour Brazil's capital have made their choice among the three options offered:
- 15.38% elected the all-cash option at 8.50 Brazilian reais (R$) per Carrefour Brazil share, or did not make a choice and will therefore receive cash as the default option;
- 84.61% chose the share-exchange option, receiving 1 Carrefour share for every 9.96 Carrefour Brazil shares;
- 0.01% opted for the mixed option, consisting of R$4.25 in cash per Carrefour Brazil share plus 1 Carrefour share for every 19.92 Carrefour Brazil shares
Based on shareholders' elections, Carrefour will disburse a total cash consideration of approximately R$900 million (c. €140 million) to minority shareholders who selected either option (1) or (3). This payment will be financed from Carrefour's existing cash resources.
