Paris, 4 August 2009
Compagnie Générale des Etablissements Michelin ("CGEM") corrects the number of notes repurchased during the repurchase procedure launched on 15 June 2009 aimed at all outstanding lowest ranking subordinated notes redeemable in cash due 3 December 2033 $(the "TSR").$
Due to a technical error, the number of TSR repurchased by CGEM during the repurchase procedure opened from 15 June 2009 to 23 June 2009 (inclusive), has been reduced by a non significant portion and finally amounts to 117,768 TSR (and not 124,427 as mentioned on CGEM's press release dated 24 June 2009 announcing the results of the repurchase procedure) corresponding to an aggregate nominal amount of 117,768,000, at a fixed price of 850 per TSR (excluding accrued interest).
Accordingly, there are 232,661 TSR outstanding at the closing of the repurchase procedure, representing 46.5 per cent of the aggregate principal amount initially issued.
A notice updating the number of outstanding TSR has been published by NYSE Euronext on 24 June 2009.
The repurchases have been made by Société Générale, acting as agent for CGEM.
The distribution of this press release, the execution of the repurchase procedure and the participation in the repurchase procedure may, in certain jurisdictions, be subject to legal and regulatory restrictions. Accordingly, persons into whose possession this press release comes are required to inform themselves about and to observe applicable regulations and restrictions.
