At the close of the exercise period2 for the 2007 warrants,
attributed free of charge by Groupe Eurotunnel SA (Paris:GET)
(LSE:GETS), 954,809,654 warrants, equivalent to 91.2% of the
warrants in circulation at the start of the period, had been
converted, corresponding to the issue of 32.4 million new shares.
The number of shares making up the capital at 31 December 2011
therefore reached 561 million (560,572,129), giving a market
capitalisation of EUR3.36 billion at the close of the markets on 25
January 2012.
The 2007 warrants, attributed free of charge to shareholders in
the old Eurotunnel who took part in the Exchange Tender Offer in
2007 which was part of the Safeguard Plan that ended on 23 December
2009, have, under the terms of the issue contract, enabled those
shareholders to benefit from the increase in value realised across
the Eurotunnel group.
By 31 December 2011, all financial instruments which had been
issued to enable the financial restructuring of the group had,
without exception, been converted or reimbursed.
Jacques Gounon, Chairman and Chief Executive of Groupe
Eurotunnel SA, stated: "With the strength that comes from having a
simple and transparent capital structure and loyal shareholders,
Groupe Eurotunnel can comfortably pursue its strategy and its
development".
