Verallia: Dividend Payment Terms for the 2025 Financial Year

PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:

Verallia (Paris:VRLA):

The General Meeting of the Company’s shareholders held on April 24, 2026 notably approved the payment of a dividend of €1 per share.

The General Meeting also decided that each shareholder may choose to receive payment of this dividend in cash or in new shares of the Company, with each of these options being mutually exclusive.

The issue price of each new share delivered in payment of the dividend is 17.61 euros.

Option exercise period: from May 6, 2026 inclusive to May 26, 2026 inclusive.

Dividend payment date: June 4, 2026.

The General Meeting of the Company’s shareholders approved the payment of a dividend of €1 per share (third resolution) and decided to offer each shareholder, for the payment of the dividend for the financial year ended on December 31, 2025, an option between payment of the dividend in cash or in new shares of the Company (fourth resolution).

The issue price of each new share delivered in payment of the dividend is 17.61 euros, corresponding to the average opening price of the Verallia shares on Euronext Paris over the 20 trading sessions preceding the date of the General Meeting, less the net dividend amount pursuant by the third resolution, and rounded up to the nearest euro cent.

The shares issued will carry the right to receive dividends effective immediately and will confer all dividend rights granted as from the issue date.

Subscriptions must relate to a whole number of shares. If the amount of the stock dividend for which the option is exercised does not correspond to a whole number of shares, the shareholders may receive the whole number of shares rounded down, with the balance paid as a cash dividend.

The option exercise period begins on May 6, 2026 (included) and ends on May 26, 2026 (included). The option may be exercised upon request by authorised financial intermediaries. Shareholders who have not exercised their option by the expiration date set by this resolution may receive only cash dividends.

The dividend will be paid on 4 June 2026; shares will be delivered on the same date to shareholders who have opted for a share dividend.
