EssilorLuxottica 2024 Annual Shareholders’ Meeting, starting a new chapter of the Company’s history - Seite 2

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 on June 3, 2024.
