Results of the option to receive the 2021 interim dividend in shares
The option for the payment of the interim dividend in shares was chosen by EDF’s shareholders: 94.92% of the rights were exercised in favor of a payment in shares following the option period which took place between 15 and 26 November 2021 included.
As a reminder, on 4 November 2021, the Board of Directors of EDF declared a 2021 interim dividend of €0.30 per share and offered, under the conditions set by the fourth resolution at the Mixed General Meeting of 6 May 2021, the option for shareholders to receive the 2021 interim dividend in new shares of the Company.
The share price for the new shares to be issued as payment of the 2021 interim dividend was set at €11.12 on 4 November 2021.
This transaction will result in the issuance of 80,844,641 new shares (representing approximately 2.56% of the share capital, taking into account the issuance), to be delivered and admitted for trading on Euronext Paris starting on 2 December 2021.
