The board of Vilmorin & Cie, acting by delegation of the Joint Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on December 10, 2014, has decided the free allotment of shares at the rate of 1 new share for 10 old shares held.
Attribution operations will begin on Monday January 19, 2015 and will concern all shares held at the close of trading on the Paris stock market on Friday January 16, 2015. Any shareholder having acquired shares before this date will benefit from this allotment of shares.
The 1,893,991 new shares will be assimilated to old shares as of January 19, 2015.
The attribution right will not be listed. Shares corresponding to the remaining fractional rights will be sold on the market, and the amount raised from this sale will be allotted to holders of fractional unexercised rights as of Monday February 9, 2015, and at the latest 30 days after the registration of the number of full shares allotted in their account.
Consequently, Vilmorin & Cie new share capital will stand at 317,717,005.50 Euros divided up into 20,833,902 shares with a nominal value of 15.25 Euros.
Operations will be centralized by BNP Paribas Securities Services.
Vilmorin & Cie, which had already made a first free allotment of shares in January 2013, thus reaffirms its commitment to pursuing privileged relations with its Shareholders, who are both faithful and committed to the long term.
Following the free allotment of shares, the exchange and/or conversion ratio of the OCEANE(1) convertible bonds is to be adjusted according to the methods used for convertible or exchangeable bonds. The conversion and/or exchange rate will therefore be raised from 1.19 Vilmorin & Cie share for one OCEANE bond to 1.31 Vilmorin & Cie share for one OCEANE bond.
NB: the EURONEXT notice concerning this free allotment of shares and the adjustment of the conversion ratio for OCEANE bonds was also disclosed this same day.
