3. Purposes of the share buyback programme
Societe Generale contemplates renewing its authorisation to buy its own shares so it can:
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, reminded that, in accordance with the law, the number of shares held after these buybacks may not exceed, at any time, 10% of the share capital.
Within the framework of the share buyback programme subject to the authorisation of the General Meeting and given the actual share capital, the Company could purchase a theoretical maximum number of 42,668,574 shares representing 5% of the share capital.
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. This maximum amount is likely to change in case of operations with impacts on the share capital.
5. Duration of the share buyback programme
It is proposed to the ordinary General Meeting dated 18 May 2021 to set the duration of the authorisation for the Company to buy its own shares at 18 months from the date of the General Meeting.
6. Prudential requirements, including the recommendation of the European Central Bank
The Board of Directors will ensure that the execution of these buybacks will be carried out in accordance with prudential requirements defined by the regulation.
Until 30 September 2021, as long as the European Central Bank recommendation dated 15 December 2020 (BCE/2020/62) will apply, Societe Generale will not buy back shares with the purpose of shares cancellation in order to remunerate shareholders. During this period and in accordance with prudential requirements as well as European Central Bank authorisation, Societe Generale may buy back shares for other purposes, including share buybacks in order to cover and honour free shares allocation plan for the benefit of employees or company officers.
During the 4th quarter 2021, Societe Generale plans to perform share buybacks, including share buybacks for the purpose of shares cancellation in order to remunerate shareholders up to an amount equivalent to dividend amount (about EUR 470 million) if the European Central Bank has not renewed its recommendation and subject to its approval.
