1,229,905,208 new shares were subscribed for through the exercise of primary subscription rights under the rights, representing 97.4% of new shares to be issued. Oversubscription demand amounted to 372,398,986 new shares, representing 11.5 times the number of surplus shares available after satisfaction of the primary subscription rights, and will, as a result, be satisfied only in part, i.e. for 32,446,323 new shares.

Post capital increase, ArcelorMittal’s issued share capital will consist of 3,065,710,869 shares without nominal value.

As announced on 5 February 2016, ArcelorMittal intends to use the net proceeds of the rights issue to reduce its indebtedness and to strengthen its balance sheet.

¹ Based on the 10 March 2016 published European Central Bank euro/USD exchange rate used to set the subscription price in euros. The subscription price in euros was set to generate gross proceeds in EUR equivalent to approximately USD 3bn based on that rate i.e. EUR 2.78 bn
