The Annual General Meeting of July 25, 2019 approved the payment of a dividend of €0.15 per share in respect of 2018-2019 with the option of payment in cash or in new shares.

The issue price for the new shares distributed in payment of the dividend, where this option is chosen, was set at €9.06. This corresponds to 90% of the average opening price of Oeneo SA shares on Euronext Paris during the 20 trading days preceding the date the decision was made to pay the dividend, minus the net dividend per share (€0.15) and rounded up to the nearest euro cent.

Shareholders holding shares prior to the ex-coupon date can exercise their option between Friday, August 2, 2019 and Friday, September 6, 2019, inclusive, with the paying institutions. Should the shareholder fail to exercise their option by Friday, September 6, 2019, the dividend will be paid in cash.

In the event that the amount of dividends for which the option is exercised does not correspond to a full number of shares on the date the option is exercised, the shareholder may receive:

  • the next full number of shares rounded upwards by paying the difference in cash on the date the option is exercised;
  • the next full number of shares rounded downwards by receiving the balance in cash.

A request will be submitted to admit the new shares for trading on Euronext Paris. They are subject to all the provisions of Oeneo SA's bylaws and are eligible for dividends from April 1, 2019. Accordingly, as of their issue, the new shares will rank pari passu with existing shares making up Oeneo SA's capital.

The payment in cash or in shares will be made from Monday, September 16, 2019, inclusive.

The maximum number of new shares that may be issued in payment of a dividend is 1 054 393 (excluding additional shares issued for rounding purposes) representing no more than 1.64% of the share capital and 1.27% of the voting rights based on the total number of shares and voting rights at June 30, 2019.
