- grant, cover and honour any free shares allocation plan,
employee savings plan and any form of allocation for the benefit of
employees and executive officers of the Company or affiliated
companies under the conditions defined by the applicable legal and
regulatory provisions;
- cancel them, in accordance with the terms of the authorisation
of the combined General Meeting in its 26th resolution;
- deliver shares upon the exercise of rights attached to
securities giving access to the Company’s share capital;
- hold and subsequently deliver shares as payment or exchange as
part of Group’s external growth transactions;
- allow an investment services provider to trade in the Company’s
shares as part of a liquidity agreement compliant with the
regulations of the French Financial Markets Authority (Autorité des
Marchés Financiers).
4. Maximum amount allocated to the share
buyback programme, maximum number and characteristics of the
securities, maximum purchase price
The resolution proposed to the General Meeting
provides that Societe Generale could purchase its ordinary shares
for an amount of up to 5% of the share capital at the completion
date of these purchases, within the legal limit of an amount of
shares held representing 10% of the share capital after these
buybacks.
As at 12 May 2020, without taking into account
the shares already held, a theoretical maximum number of 42,668,574
shares could be purchased. Given the number of securities already
held at this date and the possibility to hold an amount of shares
representing up to 10% of the share capital, the Company could
purchase up to 42,668,574 shares.
The maximum purchase price would be set at EUR
75 per share, i.e. a potential maximum amount allocated to the
programme of EUR 3,200,143,050.
The Board of Directors will ensure that the
implementation of the buybacks is conducted in compliance with the
prudential requirements as set by the regulations.
