As in 2016, for the current year, Groupe Gorgé has confirmed that it meets all eligibility criteria for the French PEA-SME tax-efficient investment regime indicated by the application decree of March 4, 2014 (decree no. 2014-283), having fewer than 5,000 employees, and either annual revenue of less than €1,500 million or balance sheet assets of less than €2,000 million. These criteria apply to the Group as a whole.
Consequently, GROUPE GORGE shares continue to be eligible for incorporation into PEA-SME accounts, which benefit from the same tax advantages as the traditional French Share Savings Plan (PEA).
The Groupe Gorgé share also continues to form part of the CAC pme index. This index, compiled by Euronext and launched on February 27, 2014, comprises 40 stocks from its listed SME and mid-tier firms which qualify for PEA-SMEs.
The CAC PME is identified by isin FR0011710375 and ticker CAPME.
Finally, Groupe Gorgé reminds investors that since 29 December 2014 its share has been included in the srd long-only deferred settlement list. The SRD long-only listing should help improve the share's liquidity.
