Vallourec pursues its employee shareholding policy
Boulogne-Billancourt, 30 July 2014 - Vallourec announces the implementation of a new employee share ownership offering for the seventh consecutive year.
This offering, called "Value 14", concerns a maximum of 1,920,000 newly-issued shares representing 1.49 % of the company's share capital on the date of this press release. It will be open to Vallourec employees in 13 countries[1], representing approximately 94.5% of the employees of the Group.
The six previous "Value" offerings generated a high participation rate among Group employees and were all very successful. Employee shareholders today hold 6.46% of Vallourec's share capital and are represented on the Supervisory Board.
Based on the indicative calendar for the offering, the share reservation period will be open to employees from 15 September 2014 to and including 3 October 2014. The subscription price should be determined on 7 November 2014. The subscription/revocation period is scheduled to take place from 10 to 14 November 2014 inclusive and the capital increase on 16 December 2014.
Details of the "Value 14" operation are described hereafter.
