CHARGEURS : Final dividend and reinvestment procedure

FINAL DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PROCEDURE

PRESS RELEASE

Paris - April 24, 2017

• Payment of the final dividend of €0.35 per share on May 30, 2017
• Option to reinvest in new shares at an issue price of €18.39 per share
• Reinvestment period runs from May 3 to May 22, 2017

At the Annual General Meeting on April 20, 2017, shareholders approved the payment of a dividend of €0.55 per share with the option of reinvesting the final dividend in new shares of Chargeurs. Following the payment of an interim dividend of

€0.20 per share on September 21, 2016, the final dividend of €0.35 per share will be paid on May 30, 2017.

Shareholders who opt to reinvest their final dividend must notify their bank or broker between May 3, 2017 (the ex- dividend date for the final dividend) and May 22, 2017. Shareholders who do not exercise this option by May 22 will be paid their final dividend in cash.

Shareholders will receive a reinvestment form by post describing the procedure and indicating the number of shares their dividend amount entitles them to purchase. The form will be sent either by their bank or broker, if they hold their shares in bearer form or have registered them with said bank or broker, or by BNP Paribas Securities Services, if their shares are registered with Chargeurs.

Once completed and signed, the form must be returned to the bank or broker in charge of managing their shares before May 22, 2017.

If the amount of the reinvestable dividend does not correspond to a whole number of shares, each shareholder will receive the lower whole number of shares and the balance of the dividend in cash.

The resulting new shares of Chargeurs common stock will be issued and settled on May 30, 2017. They will carry dividend rights from January 1, 2017 and application will be made for them to be listed on the NYSE Euronext Paris stock exchange.

Shareholders who prefer not to reinvest will be paid their final dividend in cash on May 30, 2017.

Up to 437,094 shares may be issued in connection with the final dividend reinvestment option, representing a maximum 1.9% of Chargeurs' share capital as of April 30, 2017.

In accordance with article L. 232-19 of the French Commercial Code, the issue price of the new shares delivered as payment for the final dividend would be set at 90% of the average of the opening prices quoted for Chargeurs' shares during the twenty trading days preceding the date of this Meeting, less the amount of the final per-share dividend and rounded up to the nearest euro cent, ie €18.39 per share reflecting a 10% discount.
