Charenton-le-Pont,
France (May
17,
2023 –
6:00
pm
CET) – EssilorLuxottica’s Annual
General Meeting was held today at the 3 Mazarium in Paris.
EssilorLuxottica shareholders approved all 19 resolutions submitted
by the Board of Directors to the Ordinary and Extraordinary General
Meeting, including the compensation policy applicable to the
Company’s Executive Corporate Officers.
“Five years after its birth in 2018,
EssilorLuxottica is now the global champion it was meant to
become”, commented Francesco Milleri, Chairman and CEO, and Paul du
Saillant, Deputy CEO at EssilorLuxottica after the meeting. “We
realized our vision of EssilorLuxottica as an open, collaborative
and omnichannel Company. Our strong and unique assets - from brands
and products portfolio to distribution networks, from supply chain
to innovation capability, supported by highly skilled teams - allow
us to grow with the eyecare and eyewear market in a sustainable way
and to deliver on our mission to help people ‘see more and be
more’. We remain committed to improving consumer experience and
services to eye care professionals through innovation and to
enhance market standards. As we celebrate these key milestones, we
would like to thank our shareholders for their continued trust and
support in achieving our goals.”
Option for payment of
the dividend in shares
Furthermore, the resolution granting
shareholders the option to receive their final dividend to be paid
for the financial year ended on December 31, 2022, in shares has
been approved. As duly acknowledged by the Board of Directors, the
price for newly issued shares for the payment of the dividend has
been set at Euro 160.91 per share.
- This price corresponds to 90% of
the average of the opening prices on Euronext Paris during the
twenty trading days preceding the date of the Annual General
Meeting less the amount of the final dividend to be distributed for
the financial year ended on December 31, 2022, this total being
rounded up to the next euro cent.
- The ex-dividend date is set on May
22, 2023. The record date is set on May 23, 2023.
Shareholders will be entitled to opt for payment
of the dividend in newly issued shares between
May 24, 2023 and June 7, 2023. To exercise such option,
shareholders have to address their request to the authorized
financial intermediaries (which may set a shorter election period
depending on their administrative processes). For shareholders
holding shares in pure registered form, the request will have to be
addressed to the Company’s agent (Uptevia, Grands Moulins de
Pantin, 9, rue du Débarcadère, 93761 Pantin Cedex). For
shareholders who have not exercised their option by
June 7, 2023 (or the date set by their authorized
financial intermediaries) at the latest, the final dividend will be
entirely paid in cash.
An application will be made to admit the new
shares for trading on Euronext Paris market. The new ordinary
shares allocated in payment will confer the same rights as the
existing shares and carry current dividend rights (“jouissance
courante”), i.e. they will confer the right to any distribution
paid out as from the date of their issuance.
If the amount of the final dividend in respect
of which the option will be exercised does not correspond to a
whole number of shares, the shareholder will receive the number of
shares rounded down to the nearest inferior whole number, and a
balancing payment in cash (“soulte”).
The payment of the dividend or the delivery of
the new shares following the exercise of the option will take place
from June 13, 2023.
