Derichebourg announces today the successful completion of the disposal of its 8,976,819 treasury shares, representing around 5.48% of its share capital, for a total amount of c. 51.2 million Euros. This transaction enables Derichebourg to reinforce its available financial resources in order to seize potential future external growth opportunities. It will also result in an increase of Derichebourg's free-float to around 46.5%.
The disposal was carried out through a private placement by way of an accelerated bookbuilding and has been largely oversubscribed. The private placement was conducted by Société Générale Corporate & Investment Banking and Gilbert Dupont acting as Joint Bookrunners.
Following this transaction, Derichebourg no longer holds any treasury shares. Derichebourg has committed not to issue or transfer shares, subject to certain usual exceptions, for a period of 90 calendar days following the settlement and delivery expected to take place on June 5, 2017.
