PARIS, MAY 11, 2017
COMBINED SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING OF MAY 11, 2017
Eurazeo's Combined Shareholders' Meeting was held today in Paris. All twenty resolutions presented were approved.
Michel David-Weill, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, praised the ongoing international expansion of Eurazeo and its companies in this fast-changing world. The opening of the U.S. office in September 2016 was a major milestone in the Company's history. The Chairman also highlighted Eurazeo's strong momentum, reflected by accelerated asset rotation in 2016.
Philippe Audouin, Chief Financial Officer and member of the Eurazeo Executive Board, highlighted the 2016 results, focusing on the record number of deals closed by Eurazeo and its companies. He then underlined the portfolio companies' sound results and growth performances and concluded by highlighting Eurazeo's financial strength.
Virginie Morgon, Deputy CEO, focused on Eurazeo's growth and value creation drivers. Eurazeo is a fully committed investment company. It is mobilized to support its portfolio companies and encourage and contribute to their transformations in several areas such as Digital and CSR, two value creation levers. Virginie Morgon wrapped up with a presentation of internationalization, which is a growth driver for the companies, a source of new investment opportunities and makes Eurazeo a 3.0 organization.
Patrick Sayer, Chief Executive Officer, gave an overview of Eurazeo's transformation over the last ten years. The Company has been significantly reshaped by acquiring a wide range of expertise, multiplying the number of companies and diversifying the portfolio's geographical and industrial base. More than ever, Eurazeo's focus is on growth, the source of its value creation. Its constantly changing business model is unique, combining value creation for stakeholders and risk reduction. Patrick Sayer concluded with a presentation of the potential future directions of the investment company (more internationalization, new investment expertise), which fully integrate Eurazeo's values and governance principles.
The proposed dividend of €1.20 per share was approved by the Shareholders' Meeting and will be paid on May 18, 2017. In addition, shareholders will receive a one-for-twenty bonus share grant on May 19, 2017.
Finally, the Shareholders' Meeting approved the appointment to the Supervisory Board of Anne Dias, Founding-Chairwoman of Aragon Global Holdings. She will particularly bring an informed and valuable outlook to the Supervisory Board, based on her expertise in the media, technology and telecommunications sectors and her French-American profile.
