In accordance with the terms of the issuance agreement, VALEO informs the holders of Océanes (Code ISIN FR0010007468), which were the subject of a listing prospectus (note d'opération) approved by the Commission des Opérations de Bourse (now the Autorité des Marchés Financiers) under the number n° 03-707 on July 25, 2003, that the maturity date of the outstanding Océanes being January 1st, 2011 (or the first following business day if such day is not a business day), the Océanes may be either exercised until December 23, 2010 (inclusively) or, after this deadline, redeemed in cash on January 3, 2011, i.e. the first business day following January 1st, 2011.
The holders of Océanes can exercise their conversion/exchange right until December 23, 2010 (inclusively) at a ratio of 1.013 shares of VALEO per Océane exercised. If such ratio does not give rise to a whole number, each holder of Océane may request delivery of (i) either the nearest lower whole number of shares, in which case the Océane holder shall receive a cash supplement equal to the value of the corresponding fractional entitlement, valued on the basis of the
the market opening price on the last trading day of the exercise period during which the VALEO shares are traded, (ii) or the nearest higher whole number of shares, on condition of payment to VALEO of an amount equal to the value of the additional fractional entitlement thereby requested, calculated on the basis set out in (i) above.
Holders of Océanes should, as the case may be, send their conversion/exchange requests to BNP Paribas Securities Services, Grands Moulins de Pantin, 9 Rue du Débarcadère - 93500 Pantin.
According to the terms of the issuance agreement, the new VALEO shares issued upon conversion of the Océanes shall carry dividend rights as from the first day of the financial year in which the Océanes are converted and the existing VALEO shares delivered upon exchange of Océanes shall carry dividend rights as from the time of such delivery.
Holders of Océanes that have not exercised their conversion/exchange right on December 23, 2010 at the latest, shall receive on January 3, 2011 (the first business day following January 1st, 2011, which is the maturity date of the Océanes) an amount equal to the redemption price of EUR 46.40 per Océane, increased by the annual interest amount of EUR 1.102, i.e. a total amount of EUR 47.502 per Océane.
