24 September 2014 – Before opening of markets Under embargo until 8:00 CET
Shareholders, Directors and the Statutory Auditor of Aedifica SA are invited to attend the Annual General Meeting to be held on 24 October 2014 at 15:00 PM at the Thon Hotel Bristol Stephanie located avenue Louise 91-93 in 1050 Brussels.
All documents related to the Meeting are available on the Company website (www.aedifica.be/en/general-meetings-2014):
The practical formalities of participation in the Annual General Meeting are described in the convocation.
As previously announced, the board of directors will propose to the Annual General Meeting to declare a dividend over the financial year 2013/2014 of €1.90 gross or €1.615 net per share. In this context, the board of directors of Aedifica decided to offer the shareholders an optional stock dividend.
In case of an optional stock dividend, the shareholders can choose between the payment of a dividend in cash or the contribution of their net dividend claim in the capital of Aedifica in consideration of new shares (or a combination of both options). The dividend claim attached to a certain number of existing Aedifica shares gives the right to receive one new Aedifica share, at an issue price per share which, as the case may be, may contain a discount in comparison with the stock price (possibly an average stock price over a certain period of time). The optional stock dividend will offer Aedifica the possibility to retain a part of the cashflow generated in 2013/2014 – which can be invested in its further growth. Shareholders in turn can increase their participation in Aedifica in a favourable manner.
At the occasion of the Annual General Meeting, the shareholders will be informed of the further concrete conditions of the optional stock dividend, including the issue price of the shares. The shareholders will have an option period of 14 trading days to make their choice (choice between the payment of a dividend in cash, the contribution of their net dividend claim in the capital of Aedifica in consideration of new shares or a combination of both options). Taking into account this option period and the resulting later payment of the dividend, the financial calendar is amended as follows:
| Dividend ex-date | 29 October 2014 (unchanged) |
|---|---|
| Dividend record date | 30 October 2014 (unchanged) |
| Option period | 31 October 2014 until 19 November 2014 |
| Delivery new shares and payment dividend | 24 November 2014 (instead of 31 October 2014) |
| in cash |
