Vallourec pursues its employee shareholding policy - Seite 3

Lock-up period

Shares or FCPE units subscribed for by the employees or the cash deposits made by employees, as the case may be, will be unavailable until 30 June 2019 inclusive except in cases of early release. The Supervisory Board of each FCPE holding shares will exercise the voting rights associated with such shares. The financial institution has undertaken to vote in the same manner as the Supervisory Board of the leveraged FCPE being offered to French, UK and German employees.

Hedging
The financial mechanisms underlying the leverage formula require hedging transactions to be carried out on the open market by the financial institutions that structure the formula. These hedging transactions may be carried out by these institutions as from the publication of this press release and during the duration of the transaction. Based on Vallourec's subscription assumptions, the impact of such transactions on the price of Vallourec shares is expected to be limited.
