Saint-Denis, July 16, 2021 – The Board of Directors of EuropaCorp (Euronext - FR0010490920 - ECP), which met yesterday, has decided to submit to the shareholders at the annual Combined General Meeting, to be held on September 10, 2021, the project of transferring the listing of the Company's shares on the Euronext Growth market in Paris.
Since its creation, Euronext Growth has become the market of choice for growth companies with a market capitalization of less than one billion euros and a sufficient free float, greater than 2.5 million euros, which is the case for EuropaCorp. This project therefore aims to enable EuropaCorp to be listed on a market more appropriate to the size and needs of the Company. This transfer will allow the Company to benefit from the dynamics and visibility of this market, while reducing the costs associated with its listing.
The Board of Directors, which met yesterday, has decided to implement this project of transfer by submitting it to the vote of the shareholders at the next General Meeting.
The Company meets the required eligibility conditions, namely a market capitalization of less than one billion euros and a free float of more than 2.5 million euros.
Subject to the approval of this project by the shareholders at the Combined General Meeting and the agreement of Euronext Paris, this listing by direct admission will be carried out through an accelerated procedure of direct admission to trading of the existing EuropaCorp shares, which will simultaneously cease to be listed on Euronext Paris. No new shares will be issued at the time of this transfer.
EuropaCorp will be accompanied in its transfer to Euronext Growth by Gilbert Dupont as Listing Sponsor.
In accordance with applicable regulations, the Company wishes to inform its shareholders of some of the possible consequences of such a transfer:
months of the closing instead of the current three months on the Euronext market, and the half-yearly financial statements would no longer be compulsorily subject to audit by the statutory auditors (Euronext Growth Rules, art. 4.2.1). These methods of publication of the half-yearly financial statements would take effect as from the half-yearly financial statements at September 30, 2021.
If EuropaCorp's shareholders vote in favor of the proposed transfer, the listing on Euronext Growth will take place within a minimum period of two months from the Combined General Meeting.
- Thursday July 15, 2021: meeting of the Board of Directors with a view to convening the Combined General Meeting to decide notably on the proposed transfer to the Euronext Growth market, and publication of the press release relating to the proposed transfer to Euronext Growth the next day.
- As from Thursday November 18, 2021: delisting of EuropaCorp's shares from the regulated market of Euronext Paris and admission of the shares on the Euronext Growth Paris market (depending on the instruction deadlines of Euronext).
