Opening from 19 June 2015 to 25 June 2015 of the standing repurchase order for holders of the 2015 OCEANE[2]
OL Groupe (the “Company” or the “Group”) announces that it repurchased off-market, on 18 June 2015 following the settlement of its share capital increase of approximately €53 million and in accordance with repurchase agreements executed on 26 May 2015, the 1,417,462 2015 OCEANE held by ICMI and the 1,243,999 2015 OCEANE held by Pathé (representing all together approximately 80% of the 2015 OCEANE issued) at a price of €7.50 per 2015 OCEANE corresponding to the par value (€7.26) plus accrued interests up to 18 June 2015 (such date excluded) (€0.24) (the “Repurchase”).
Following the Repurchase and in order to ensure an equal treatment of all the 2015 OCEANE holders, the Company undertook to place a standing repurchase order on the market (the “Standing Repurchase Order”, and together with the Repurchase, the “Repurchase Transaction”)
The Company will thus place its Standing Repurchase Order on the regulated market of Euronext in Paris from 19 June 2015 to 25 June 2015 included, i.e. during a period of five consecutive trading days, at the same price as that paid to ICMI and Pathé, i.e. €7.50 per 2015 OCEANE.
Any holder wishing to sell its 2015 OCEANE should place a sell order at a price of €7.50 with its FINANCIAL intermediary.
On 25 June 2015 after the close of the market, the Company will announce in a press release the total amount of repurchased 2015 OCEANE.
The 2015 OCEANE repurchased under the Repurchase Transaction will be cancelled in accordance with their terms of issuance.
Natixis is acting as dealer manager in the Standing Repurchase Order and subsequent settlements.
