Paris, 28 May 2014
The option to receive the dividend in shares, which ran between 5 May and 20 May 2014, was exercised by a large number of Bouygues shareholders: 79.1% of the rights chose this payment method.
As a result, 15,908,913 new shares will be issued, representing 5% of the total number of shares making up the current share capital. Shareholders' equity will increase by €401.1 million.
The newly issued shares will be delivered and admitted to trading on Euronext Paris on 4 June 2014. These shares, which will be entitled to dividends paid out of profits earned from 1 January 2014 onwards, will rank immediately with the existing shares making up the share capital of Bouygues.
Bouygues' Combined Annual General of shareholders held on 24 April 2014, approved the payment of a dividend for the 2013 financial year of €1.60 per share, with the option for shareholders to receive this dividend in cash or new shares issued by the company. The issue price of the new shares was set at €25.21, corresponding to 90% of the average opening price of the twenty trading days preceding 24 April 2014 minus the amount of the dividend.
The payment of the dividend in cash will take place on 4 June 2014. The total amount paid out will be €109.7 million.
