Kortrijk, Belgium, 24 June 2020, 07:30 am – At Barco's Extraordinary General Meeting, of 30 April 2020, the shareholders have approved the share split by a factor seven (7), effective as of 1 July 2020. The purpose of the share split is to enhance accessibility and to improve the liquidity of the Barco share.
As a result of this share split, Barco's total capital shall be represented by 91,487,438 shares as from 1 July 2020. Each of these shares confers one voting right at the General Meeting.
The new split shares (please note: new ISIN code BE0974362940) will be traded on the Euronext Brussels regulated market from 1 July 2020 onwards.
For all information about the practical modalities of the share split, please refer to the information document accompanying this press release.

Share split
As of 1 July 2020, in exchange for each current Barco share, each Barco shareholder, based on his position on 30/06/2020, receives seven (7) new Barco shares.
The new split share with ISIN code BE0974362940 will be listed on the Euronext Brussels exchange as of 1 July 2020. The old securities will no longer be listed or negotiable from that date.
The new securities exist, according to the shareholder's preference, in either dematerialised form in a securities account with a financial institution or as registered shares in the company's register of shareholders.
Seven times more Barco shares enter into circulation due to the split. The company's capital is therefore represented by 91,487,438 shares following the operation.
| Euronext Brussels | Before the operation | From 1 July 2020 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Share ticker: BAR | ISIN code | Number of shares | ISIN code | Number of shares |
| BE0003790079 | 13,069,634 | BE0974362940 | 91,487,438 |
Since, when the market opens on 1 July 2020, the value of the price of the share is only technically divided by seven and simultaneously the total number of shares is multiplied by seven, this operation has no effect on the overall value of the shares held by the shareholders.
From now on, the results per share as well as the dividends will be adjusted in order to obtain comparable figures.
A holder of an old share obtains in exchange seven (7) new Barco shares in accordance with the following terms:
IBAN BE49 3850 5234 2071 BBRUBEBB | VAT BE 0473.191.041 | RPR Gent, Section Kortrijk
Each old share registered in the company's register of shareholders on 30/06/2020 will automatically be exchanged for seven new shares without any cost for the holder of registered shares. Barco will provide each holder of registered shares with a new share certificate dated 1 July 2020 mentioning the shareholder's name and total number of new shares registered in the company's register of shareholders. This new certificate annuls and replaces the former certificate issued to the shareholder mentioning the number of old shares.
