REGULATED INFORMATION
15 April 2016
Notice of an Ordinary General Meeting and Extraordinary General Meeting to be held on 17 May 2016
The Ordinary General Meeting of Econocom Group will be held on 17 May 2016 in order to approve the financial statements for the financial year which closed on 31 December 2015.
The agenda includes a proposal to renew the appointment of Mr. Jean-Louis Bouchard as director and to appoint Mrs. Marie-Christine Levet and Adeline Challon-Kemoun as independent directors. The directors would be appointed for a 4-year term ending immediately after the 2020 Ordinary General Meeting.
The agenda further includes a proposal to renew the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers as statutory auditor of the Company for a 3-year term ending immediately after the 2019 Ordinary General Meeting and to fix the auditor's remuneration.
The Board of Directors suggests to the Extraordinary General Meeting to be held immediately after the Ordinary General Meeting on 17 May 2016 to proceed with a reimbursement of the issue premium treated as paid-up capital. This reimbursement will amount to €0.175 per share, i.e., representing approximately a 17% increase compared with the issue premium reimbursed in 2015. In accordance with Article 613 of the Company Code, the record date to be used to determine the right to reimbursement shall fall at the end of a two-month period after publication of the decision of the Extraordinary General Meeting in the Annexes to the Belgian State Gazette. The exact dates of the removal of the coupon and of the reimbursement of the issue premium shall be specified in a subsequent press release.
The Board of Directors also suggests to the Extraordinary General Meeting to be authorised to proceed with the allocation for free of outstanding shares, representing 1% of the total shares issued, i.e., maximum 1,125,000 Econocom Group free shares. The beneficiaries of such attribution shall be determined by the Board of Directors amongst salaried personnel of the Econocom group.
Finally, the Extraordinary General Meeting is requested to renew the authorisation granted to the Board of Directors to increase the share capital within the limits of the authorised capital in the event of a public takeover bid for the Company's securities at the conditions provided for by Article 607 of the Company Code.
