RECLASSIFICATION OF SOCIETE GENERALE'S STAKEHOLDING

Demand 2.3 times higher than share offer

Econocom Group, Europe's leading independent company specialised in the management of IT infrastructures and business telecom, announced the reclassification of Société Générale's stake in the group as a private placement. Several European institutional investors took advantage of the opportunity to take a share in the group.

Société Générale went ahead this morning, with a private placement of 1,837,273 shares, or 7.02% of capital, which represents its entire holding in Econocom. The placement was carried out by 26 institutional European investors (France, Benelux, Switzerland and the UK) of which more than half are new stakeholders in the group.

The overall demand outstripped the Econocom shares on offer by a factor of 2.3. The average unit price was set at €15.50 per share. Econocom took advantage of the opportunity to slightly strengthen its own control by taking a small share of the operation.

Société Générale became a stakeholder in Econocom in October 2010 on the occasion of the sale of its subsidiary ECS.
