The shareholders have approved, in particular, the renewal of the mandates for three Board members: Mr. Eric Bourdais de Charbonnière, Mr. Lee Gardner and Mr. Hans-Georg Härter for a duration of four years.

The shareholders have approved the distribution of a €0.35 dividend per share, payable in cash or in new shares (on the basis of a share price of €38.28, equal to 90% of the average price quoted in the twenty trading sessions prior to the date of the Combined Shareholders' Meeting, less the net amount of the dividend) which will carry rights as from January 1, 2015. Trading ex-coupon will occur on June 1, 2015, while the period during which the option can be exercised will run from June 1 to June 16, 2015 inclusive. Payment of the dividend in cash and delivery of the new shares will occur on the same day, i.e. on June 24, 2015.
