News ReleaseEssilor Cancels Four Million Shares
Charenton-le-Pont, France (July 13, 2010 - 6:30 a.m.) - On June 28, 2010,
Essilor cancelled 4,000,000 shares, in line with its commitment not to create
any dilution for existing shareholders. The two-part transaction was carried out
as follows:
- 2,130,000 shares were cancelled to offset the dilutive impact of the vesting
of performance shares or the exercise of stock options granted to employees.
- 1,870,000 shares were cancelled to offset the dilution resulting from the
conversion of the now mature OCEANE convertible bonds. The shares had been
purchased as part of a program launched in 2008 to buy back up to 6,900,000
shares for allocation on conversion of the OCEANE bonds then outstanding. To
date, Essilor has bought back 5,200,000 shares under this program, of which
3,370,000 have now been cancelled.
