Press release
"The General Assembly voted for the distribution of a gross dividend of € 2.67 per share.
The Board of Directors of Atenor has decided to offer the shareholders the possibility of an optional dividend. During the General Assembly that was held on 28 April 2023, the shareholders were informed of the concrete procedures relating to the optional dividend, including in particular the issue price, reference period and the option period. However, following a drop in the share price during the option period, the discount offered to shareholders on the reference price (used to determine the issue price) has been considerably reduced. In accordance with the provisions of the initial information document (article 3.8), the Board of Directors has decided to cancel this optional dividend, including the acceptances received. After a new reference period, the Board of Directors decided on 5 June 2023 to launch a new optional dividend. The capital increase through the contribution of dividend entitlements will take place on 27 June and will be realized within the scope of the authorised capital.
This method of paying the dividend will allow to strengthen the group's equity, improve the balance sheet ratios and retain liquidities in order to continue the development of all the projects in portfolio.
We are happy to announce that the group's major shareholders have expressed their intention to massively opt for the conversion of their dividend entitlements in capital."
The General Assembly of the Shareholders held on 28 April 2023 decided to distribute a gross dividend of € 2.87 per share relating to FY 2022.
The dividend net of withholding tax will amount to € 1.869 per ordinary share (30% withholding tax). The security entitling the holder to a dividend is coupon number 18.
Within the framework of this optional dividend, the shareholders will have the choice between:
In the event of the contribution of the net dividend entitlement to the capital, the issue price per new share is set at € 20.559.
It was based on the average closing stock market price of the share during the reference period (from 22 May 2023 till 2 June 2023 included) on the regulated market of Euronext Brussels, being € 26.58.
This average price was then calculated with a discount on the issue price to the multiple of the net dividend of € 1.869, i.e. 11 shares.
This multiple constitutes the exchange ratio (number of coupons necessary to subscribe a new share). The application of this multiple leads to the determination of the issue price, which provides a discount on the average price (ex-coupon) during the reference period ending on 2 June 2023 amounting to 22.7%.
The option period during which the shareholders can subscribe to the capital increase will take place from Wednesday, 7 June 2023 at 9.00am (Belgian time) till Tuesday, 20 June 2023 at 16.00pm (Belgian time) included.
Shareholders who do not express a choice during this option period and in the way stipulated for this purpose will receive the dividend in cash.
The amount of the capital increase will be equal to the number of new shares to be issued multiplied by the issue price, being € 20.559 per Atenor share.
The new shares will have the same form, the same ISIN code and will be listed on the same line as the existing shares. The holders of registered no. 18 coupons who subscribe to the optional dividend will receive registered shares. Shareholders may, at any time following the issuance, request, at their own expense, a conversion of shares into dematerialised or registered shares.
The new shares, with no. 19 coupon attached, issued as a result of the capital increase, are eligible for the final dividend of the 2023 fiscal year that would be granted, as the case may be, by the General Meeting of Shareholders to be held in April 2024.
Shareholders who want to contribute their dividend entitlements (in full or in part) in exchange for new shares should contact, between 7 June 2023 at 9.00am (Belgian time) and 20 June 2023 at 16.00pm (Belgian time) included:
The financial service for this transaction is provided by Euroclear Belgium. This service is free of charge for Atenor shareholders (subject to any fees charged by the financial institution with which the dematerialised shares are held in account).
The information document relating to the optional dividend and the Special Report of the Board of Directors of the same date will be published on the website of Atenor.
