Combined Annual and Special Shareholders’ meeting of May 30, 2008
Paris, June 2, 2008, pdf file
BOURBON’s Combined Annual and Special Shareholders’ meeting, chaired by Mr. Jacques de Chateauvieux, was held on Friday May 30, 2008 at the Palais Brongniart, Paris.
All the resolutions were approved by the shareholders, specifically:
- Distribution of a dividend of 1 euro per share
This dividend, over 60% higher than that for 2006, will be paid on June 9, 2008. It will generate
a 40% tax credit (representing 0.40 euro per share) applicable to individuals who are resident in
France for tax purposes.
This 1 euro dividend includes an exceptional dividend of 0.30 euro, due mainly to the finalization
of the sale process of Vindémia, as announced in the 2003-2007 strategic plan.
- Renewal of the mandates of Messers Christian Munier, Guy Dupont, Christian
d’Armand de Chateauvieux and Henri d’Armand de Chateauvieux, ratification of the
co-option of Ms Lan Vo Thi Huyen, and the appointment of Mr. Baudouin Monnoyeur as
Directors of the Board of BOURBON.
At this Meeting, the Chairman also informed shareholders that from March 12 to May 23, 2008,
BOURBON bought 1,225,955 BOURBON shares at an average price of less than 39 euros.
This stock buyback was carried out in the context of the Board of Directors’ decision in December 10, 2007
to award stock options.
It will avoid the need for new shares to be issued and the consequent dilutive effect.
