Publicis Groupe S.A.’s [Euronext Paris: FR0000130577,
CAC40] (Paris:PUB) Combined General Shareholders’
Meeting took place today, chaired by Mr. Maurice Lévy, Chair of the
Supervisory Board. In the very specific context of the Covid-19,
the meeting was exceptionally held behind closed doors, without the
physical attendance of the shareholders, pursuant to the Order
n°2020-321 dated March 25, 2020.
All documents relating to the General Meeting have been made
available to shareholders on the Group's website. The presentations
of the Chairman of the Management Board and the Chair of the
various Committees, as well as the full results of the votes, are
available on: www.publicisgroupe.com.
Representing a quorum of 73.9%, higher than the one in 2019 at
72.4%, General Shareholders' Meeting has adopted all the proposed
resolutions, with scores between 85% and 99%.
Shareholders approved a €1.15 dividend per share, in line with
the proposal of the Management Board to reduce the initially
proposed dividend by half, as supported by the Supervisory Board
when it met on April 10. Shareholders can opt to receive payment of
the dividend either in cash or in new shares. As an exceptional
measure, the dividend – in cash or new shares - will be paid later
than usual, on September 28 2020.
The dividend calendar is as follows:
- the ex-dividend date will be September 7,
2020, - the option for payment of the dividend in shares must be
exercised between September 9 and September 22, 2020 inclusive. The
Supervisory Board encourages the shareholders who are in a position
to do so, to reinvest the dividend in the company by opting for its
payment in shares.
The issue price of shares distributed as dividends was set at
24.46 euros per share, equal to the average of closing prices
during 20 stock market days prior to the Shareholders’ meeting,
after deducting the net amount of cash dividend.
Shareholders also approved the renewal of the mandates of Mrs.
Sophie Dulac and Mrs. Marie-Josée Kravis, and of Mr. Thomas H.
Glocer and Mr. André Kudelski.
After this General Shareholders’ Meeting, the Supervisory Board
remains composed of 13 members (including one member representing
employees, with 50% of women and 66% of independent members).
