Paris, 28 may 2013
At the Annual General Meeting of CNP Assurances on 25 April 2013, shareholders approved the payment of the proposed 2012 dividend, in an amount of €0.77 a share, and decided to offer the option of reinvesting the dividend in new shares of the Company. The dividend reinvestment option was enthusiastically embraced by shareholders, particularly the major shareholders (Caisse des dépôts et consignations, Sopassure1 and the French State), with 88.8% of dividends reinvested over the exercise period from 30 April to 21 May.
The reinvestment led to the creation of 43 118 302 new shares, which increased the Company’s issued capital by €438 944 314. These shares will be settled and start trading on the NYSE Euronext Paris stock exchange on 30 May 2013. They will carry dividend rights from 1 January 2013 and will be fungible with the Company’s ordinary shares already trading on the same exchange (Compartment A – ISIN FR0000120222). The cash dividend will also be paid as from 30 May 2013. Following the reinvestment programme, the Company’s share capital will be composed of 686 618 477 shares each with a par value of €1.00.
