THIS ANNOUNCEMENT IS NOT AN ANNOUNCEMENT OF A FIRM INTENTION TO MAKE AN OFFER UNDER RULE 2.7 OF THE CITY CODE ON TAKEOVERS AND MERGERS (THE "CODE") AND THERE CAN BE NO CERTAINTY THAT AN OFFER WILL BE MADE. The Board of Directors of GDF SUEZ met on Monday 2 April 2012 under the chairmanship of Gérard Mestrallet and unanimously confirmed its support to the possible offer of 390 pence per share for the remaining International Power shares not already held by GDF SUEZ. The Board of Directors decided to offer to the shareholders the possibility to receive the final dividend for 2011 (€0.67) in GDF SUEZ shares. The conditions for setting the value of the dividend in shares will include a 10% discount to the average share price over the twenty trading days immediately preceding the Annual General Meeting. To enable the implementation of this option, the payment of the final dividend for 2011 is postponed from 30 April to 24 May 2012, the ex-date remaining on 25 April 2012 as originally announced. The Board decided to offer the same option, for any interim dividend for the fiscal year 2012 that may be decided by the Board of Directors, subject to the success of the potential offer for the remaining shares of International Power it does not own. In this context, the French State and Groupe Bruxelles Lambert (GBL) expressed to GDF SUEZ their intention to take up the option of receiving GDF SUEZ shares in respect of their share of the dividends. This resolution is intended to supplement the financing of the proposed offer for the remaining International Power shares not already held by GDF SUEZ in complement to the upwards revision of the disposal plans previously announced. |
