In October 2023, Verallia’s Board of Directors decided to issue [611,445] Verallia shares for the 2024 Offer.
If the total demand for Verallia shares in this Offer (including the employer contribution) is greater than the number of shares on offer, the largest subscription orders (including the employer contribution) will be reduced so that the total effective demand matches with the number of available shares.
This reduction rule is based on capping.
If your subscription is reduced, you only have to pay the amount due after the reduction.
This reduction rule is therefore favourable to small and medium-sized investments.
Yes. Any dividends paid out on your shares following approval from the General Meeting of Shareholders will be automatically reinvested in the fund, thereby increasing the value of your investment.
No. In view of the operation’s timetable, any dividends paid out to shareholders in 2024 will not be paid out on those shares acquired in the 2023 Employee Shareholding Offer because the capital increase related to this offer will be after the ex-dividend date for dividends paid out on 2023 profits.
However, shares acquired previously, i.e. in the 2016 to 2023 offers, will receive any dividends paid out this year.
Yes, you can benefit from an early release event. The cases of early release are listed in the local supplement available in the “Documentation” section.
From May 18, 2024, you can request an early release whenever you wish once an early release case applies to you and it is no later than six months after the occurrence of the triggering event.
At the end of the lock-in period, you will have two options:
- Keep your investment in the Verallia FCPE;
- Dispose of your holdings whenever you want.
Verallia covers the account management costs.
The taxation applicable to your subscription is indicated in the local supplement, available in the “Documentation” section.
