The 485,603 treasury shares were allocated by the Board of Directors, on October 20, 2010, to employee option programs or other allocations of shares to employees and legal representatives of the Group.

Objectives of the share buyback program

Technicolor intends to purchase its own shares in order to achieve the following objectives:

  • covering stock options plan and free shares allocation plan; and
  • ensuring the liquidity of the Company's shares by virtue of a liquidity agreement entered into with an investment services provider acting independently in accordance with a code of ethics approved by the Autorité des marches financiers.

Maximum percentage of the share capital purchase - Number of securities which may be purchased under this buyback program

The maximum percentage that the Company may purchase under this buyback program is equal to 10% of the Company's share capital, i.e. a number of shares not exceeding 33,590,797 as of the date of the Combined Shareholders' Meeting on May 22, 2014. Moreover, the number of shares that the Company can hold at any time may not exceed 10 % of the Company's share capital.

The maximum purchase price of the share under this buyback program will be €10 per share, or its equivalent on the same date in any other currency. In the event of a change in the nominal value of the shares, the granting of free shares, a share split or reverse share split, a distribution of reserves or any other assets, the depreciation of the share capital, or any other transaction affecting shareholders' equity, the aforementioned purchase price will be adjusted in order to take into account the effect of such transactions on the value of the shares.
