Payment of the 2013 dividend

At their Annual Meeting today, Edenred shareholders approved the payment of a 2013 dividend of €0.83 per share, with the option of reinvesting 50% of their dividend in new shares. This means that shareholders will receive:

50% of their dividend, or €0.415, in cash; and
50% of their dividend in cash or new Edenred common shares, at the shareholder's option

Dividend payment timeline

Record date:
o May 19, 2014 for the payment of the dividend subject to option.
o May 22, 2014 for the payment of the cash dividend.
Ex-dividend date: May 20, 2014
Period for exercising the dividend reinvestment option: from May 20 to the close of business on June 5, 2014. Shareholders may opt to reinvest only during this period. Shareholders that do not exercise their reinvestment option by June 5, 2014 will receive their total dividend in cash.
Dividend payment date: June 18, 2014, regardless of whether the dividend is reinvested or not.

Reinvestment procedure

To reinvest their dividend, shareholders must so inform the bank or broker that manages their shares, or, if their shares are registered in the Company's share register, the custodian bank¹ . Shareholders who have not opted to reinvest by June 5, 2014 will receive the entire dividend in cash.

Certain legal restrictions may apply to the reinvestment option for non-resident shareholders. Non-residents of France should enquire about the laws and rules applicable in their country of residence.

The shares created on reinvestment of the dividend will be issued at a price of €20,95, corresponding to 90% of the average of the opening prices quoted for Edenred shares over the twenty trading days on the NYSE Euronext Paris preceding the Annual Shareholders Meeting, less the amount of the dividend and rounded up to the nearest euro cent.

The new shares will carry dividend rights from January 1, 2014 and rank paru passu with existing shares of Edenred common stock. They will begin trading in compartment A of the NYSE Euronext Paris stock exchange (ISIN: FR0010908533) on June 18, 2014 on the same line as existing shares.

If the amount of the reinvested dividend does not correspond to a whole number of shares, the shareholder may purchase the next higher number by paying the difference in cash on the reinvestment day or purchase the next lower number and receive the balance in cash.

If all of the eligible dividend is reinvested, a maximum of 4,416,788 new shares would be issued, representing around 1.96% of the Company's share capital and 1.85% of the exercisable voting rights, based on total shares and voting rights outstanding at April 30, 2014.
