As soon as said capital reduction comes into effect, the Company will announce to the market the date from which the Shares can be refunded to shareholders and the date from which the shares issued by the Company will be traded “ex-capital reduction”. The shareholder base to be considered for receiving this capital reduction is the one on the date of the EGM that approved the capital reduction, i.e. June 26, 2014."
