DESCRIPTION OF THE SHARE BUYBACK
PROGRAMME AUTHORISED BY THE ORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF 27 JUNE
2024
In accordance with the provisions of Articles
241-2 et seq. of the AMF General Regulation, as well as EU
Regulation 596/2014 of 16 April 2014, this description outlines the
objectives and terms of the of the Marie Brizard Wine & Spirits
share buyback programme under the authorisation granted by the
eleventh resolution of the Combined General Meeting held on 27 June
2024.
Breakdown of equity securities held by
the Company by objective
On 27 June 2024, the Company held 100,781
treasury shares, out of 111,989,823 shares making up the Company’s
share capital, i.e. a total of 0.09%, allocated in part to the
implementation of the stock option plan and the allocation of bonus
shares (40,166 shares), and the remaining shares to the liquidity
agreement (60,615 shares).
Objectives of the share buyback
programme
The purpose of the buyback programme is to
enable the following to be performed:
- promote liquidity in transactions
and stability of prices of the Company’s shares under a liquidity
agreement entered into with an investment services provider, acting
in accordance with market practices approved by the French
Financial Markets Authority (AMF),
- retain shares that are bought back
and subsequently put them back on the market or use them as
consideration in potential external growth transactions, within the
limits set by applicable regulations,
- cover stock option plans or bonus
share plans and other forms of share allocation to employees and/or
corporate officers of the Company and its Group companies, in
particular under the profit-sharing scheme and Company Savings
Plan, under the conditions set out by law and market authorities,
and at the times the Board of Directors or the person acting on
behalf of the Board of Directors considers appropriate,
- enable (i) the delivery of Company
shares upon exercise of rights attached to securities giving
access, immediately or in the future, by way of redemption,
conversion, exchange, presentation of a warrant or in any other
way, to the allocation of Company shares and (ii) any hedging
transactions related to the issue of such securities, under the
conditions set by market authorities and at such times as the Board
of Directors or the person acting on behalf of the Board of
Directors may consider appropriate,
- cancel the shares in full or in
part by reducing the share capital.
The share buyback programme also lets the
Company trade in its own shares for any other purpose authorised
under applicable laws and regulations, now or in the future, or
recognised as a market practice by the AMF. In such case, the
Company would inform its shareholders thereof in a press
release.
Maximum proportion of share capital,
maximum number and characteristics of shares that the Company plans
to purchase, and maximum purchase price
Given that on 27 June 2024, the Company directly
or indirectly held a total of 100,781 treasury shares, i.e. 0.09%
of the share capital, the maximum number of shares that may be
bought back amounts to 11,098,201 shares, i.e. 9.91% of the share
capital. This cap may be increased to 10% of the share capital (at
any time) in the event that the Company sells or uses its treasury
shares.
The unit price may not exceed six euros (€6),
subject to adjustments relating to any transactions affecting the
Company’s shareholders’ equity. As such, based on the current share
capital, the theoretical maximum amount that the Company would pay
in the event of a buyback at the maximum unit price of six euros
(€6) would be sixty-seven million one hundred and ninety-three
thousand eight hundred and ninety-two euros (€67,193,892), for the
purchase of a maximum of eleven million one hundred and
ninety-eight thousand nine hundred and eighty-two (11,198,982)
shares.
The shares the Company wishes to buy back are
ordinary shares listed under Compartment C of the Euronext Paris
regulated market under ISIN code FR0000060873.
Duration of buyback
programme
The buyback programme will run for eighteen (18)
months from the date of the General Meeting authorising the
transaction, i.e. until 27 November 2025.
During the buyback programme period, the public
will be promptly informed of any significant change in any of the
information listed above, in accordance with the procedures set out
in Article 221-3 of the AMF General Regulation.
