Viridien (the “Company”) announces today the completion of the reverse share split of its share capital on the basis of 1 new share of €1.00 nominal value for 100 old shares of €0.01 nominal value (the “Reverse Share Split”). Therefore, 716,146,563 old shares with a nominal value of one cent of a euro (€0.01) each were exchanged for 7,161,465 new shares with a nominal value of one euro (€1) each.

As of today, the old shares (ISIN code FR0013181864) will be delisted and the new shares resulting from the Reverse Share Split are tradeable on the Euronext Paris market under a new ISIN code: FR001400PVN6.
