Success of option for the payment in the form of new shares

Albioma is pleased to announce that the option for the payment of the 2012 financial year dividend in the form of new shares has met with great success: shareholders who chose to have 50% of their dividend paid in the form of new shares represented almost 78% of the share capital (and included the Group's main shareholder, Financière Hélios).

The option was to be exercised from June 11 to June 25, 2013. It offered the possibility to have 50% of the 2012 financial year dividend (set at € 0.59) paid in the form of new shares, issued at a price of € 12.24 each. The exercise of the option resulted in the issue of 535,454 new shares, representing 1.8% of share capital and € 6.5 million of dividends.

The newly issued shares will be admitted for trading on the regulated market of NYSE Euronext in Paris on July 5, 2013, alongside existing shares (ISIN: FR0000060402; ticker: ABIO) and then delivered to financial intermediaries, who will register them in their clients' accounts. Cash adjustments for those who took up the new share option and the part of the dividend paid in cash will be paid out at this same date.
