Issue of new VINCI shares
reserved for the employees of foreign subsidiaries of VINCI
in the context of the international Group savings plan1
In its twentieth resolution, the Combined Shareholders’ General Meeting of 8 April 2021 delegated to the Board of Directors, for a period of 18 months expiring on 7 October 2022, its authority to carry out capital increases reserved for the employees of certain foreign subsidiaries of the Group.
At its meeting on 20 October 2021, VINCI’s Board of Directors thus set the terms of a capital increase reserved for the employees of VINCI subsidiaries located in Germany, Australia, Austria, Bahrain, Belgium, Brazil, Cambodia, Cameroon, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Côte d’Ivoire, Denmark, United Arab Emirates, Spain, Estonia, United States, Finland, Greece, Hong-Kong, Hungary, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Morocco, Mexico, Norway, New Zealand, Netherlands, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Dominican Republic, Czech Republic, Romania, Senegal, Singapore, Slovakia, Sweden and Switzerland.
The Board of Directors has delegated full powers to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, in particular to set the opening and closing dates of the subscription periods in the countries concerned, and to set the subscription price of the new shares within the framework defined by the Shareholders’ General Meeting.
In his decision of 13 May 2022, VINCI’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer decided that the subscription period would run, in all the countries concerned, from Monday 16 May 2022 to Friday 3 June 2022.
In his decision dated 13 May 2022, VINCI’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer set the issue price of the new shares which is equal to the average price of the VINCI shares prices quoted on the regulated market of Euronext Paris SA on the basis of the vwap (volume-weighted average price) during the 20 trading sessions preceding 16 May 2022, i.e. €91.71 per new share to be issued.
The maximum number of shares that may be issued and the total amount of the issue will depend on the level of employees’ subscriptions.
The maximum number of new shares to be issued may not exceed the limit set by the Shareholders’ General Meeting of 8 April 2021 in its twentieth resolution and, if this limit is insufficient, by that set by the General Meeting of Shareholders of 12 April 2022 in its seventeenth resolution. The total number of new shares that may be issued on the basis of the twentieth resolution of the Shareholders’ Meeting of 8 April 2021 and on the basis of the nineteenth resolution of the same Shareholders’ Meeting in favor of employee shareholding in accordance with the provisions of Articles L. 225-138-1 and seq. of the French Commercial Code and L. 3332-1 and seq. of the French Labour Code may not exceed 1.5% of the number of shares comprising the authorized share capital at the time the Board makes its decision.
The new VINCI shares to be issued will be subscribed by employees in July 2022 through the "Castor International Relais 2022" FCPE, except in the United States, Chile, Greece, Italy and Poland where they will be subscribed by employees directly.
The admission of these new shares to trading on the regulated market of Euronext Paris will be requested immediately after their issue.
The subscribed shares will be frozen for 3 years from the date of the capital increase (except in specific cases of early release).
Subject to this reservation, these ordinary shares will not be subject to any restrictions, and will carry dividend rights from 1 January 2022.
