Eiffage announces an increase in share capital reserved for Eiffage Group employees in France and which will have the following main characteristics:
To safeguard its employee shareholding policy, a hallmark of the Group for over 20 years, Eiffage decided to carry out an increase in share capital reserved for employees, non supplemented, with a 20% discount through the "Eiffage Actionnariat" FCPE created for this purpose.
At its meeting on April 18, 2012, the Combined General Shareholders' Meeting delegated to the Company's Board of Directors their competence to decide to increase the Company's share capital, in one or several steps, up to a maximum nominal amount of €15 million, with waiver of preferential subscription right to the benefit of the employees of the Company and any companies related to it pursuant to article L. 225-180 of the French Commercial Code and participating in a company savings plan.
Using this delegation, the Board of directors decided on February 27, 2013 the issuance of ordinary shares to the benefit of the members of the group savings plan at a price of 26.20 euros per shares corresponding to 80% of the average share prices during the 20 trading sessions preceding February 27, 2013, pursuant to the provisions of articles L. 3332-18 and subsequent of the French labour code.
The maximum number of Eiffage shares that may be issued in connection with this offer is 3.750.000 shares (corresponding to a maximum increase in share capital of €15 million of nominal), namely a global offer of 98.250.000 euros.

decided by the General Meeting convened for April 17, 2013. The new shares will be assimilated to the existing shares and not subject to any restriction.
The shares of the "Eiffage Actionnariat" FCPE corresponding to the Eiffage shares subscribed must be held by their beneficiaries for a five year period, except where a case of early release occurs, as authorized by French law.
The voting rights attached to the shares subscribed through the "Eiffage Actionnariat" FCPE will be exercised by the "Eiffage Actionnariat" FCPE's supervisory board.
