At their Joint Annual Meeting today, Michelin shareholders approved the payment of a 2011 dividend of €2.10 a share, with a reinvestment option.
The price of the new shares issued to shareholders electing to reinvest their dividend was set at €47.09 representing 90% of the average opening prices on the NYSE Euronext Paris stock exchange over the twenty trading days preceding the date of the Meeting, less the amount of the dividend.
The issued shares will carry dividend rights from January 1, 2012 and rank pari passu with existing shares. The ex-dividend date is May 18.
The reinvestment option may be exercised from May 18 until midnight June 5. After that date or if the shareholder elects not to reinvest, the dividend will be paid in cash.
If the amount of the reinvested dividends does not correspond to a whole number of shares, the shareholder will receive the next lower number of shares and the balance in cash.
The dividend will be paid or the shares settled beginning on June 18, 2011.
The new Michelin shares will begin trading in Compartment A of the NYSE Euronext Paris exchange (ISIN: FR0000121261; ticker: ML) on June 18, on the same line as existing shares.
