Sogeclair: reserved capital increase

RESERVED CAPITAL INCREASE FOR A TOTAL OF APPROXIMATELY €4.9 MILLION AND A PRICE OF €24.52 PER SHARE

SOGECLAIR announces a capital increase reserved for KEY’S, a company consisting of key female and male managers of the Group accompanied by its President and CEO, Philippe Robardey, to support its long-term development.

The Board of Directors meeting on 14 June 2019, and using the delegation granted by the combined general meeting held on 16 May 2019, at the time of which Philippe Robardey cast a neutral vote, decided to proceed with a reserved capital increase by issuing 200,000 ordinary shares with a nominal value of 1 euro each, to be subscribed to in cash.

The Board of Directors set the issue price for the ordinary shares at €24.52, corresponding to the average price weighted by the volumes of 20 consecutive stock-market sessions among the 50 stock-market sessions preceding its decision, representing a discount of 3.84% with respect to the SOGECLAIR share closing price on 14 June 2019.

The subscriptions will be received from 17 June 2019 to 12 July 2019 inclusive.

In the case where the totality of the shares on offer are subscribed to SOGECLAIR’s share capital will be increased from €2,900,000 to €3,100,000.

The capital increase may be limited to the amount of the subscriptions received within the limits stipulated by the regulations.

The definitive amount of the issue will contribute to the development of the company’s day-to-day activities.

Mr Philippe Robardey will have control of the KEY’S company in the sense of article L. 233-3 II of French Commercial Law. None of the partners in KEY’S will have a larger holding. Philippe Robardey’s holding may evolve downwards in the future; however, Philippe Robardey’s shares in the KEY’S company are subject to a 7-year non-transferability clause. The balance of the capital must be spread between several tens of people.

The breakdown of the capital before and after the operation is as follows:
