Regulatory News:
The Shareholders’ Meeting of TOTAL S.A. (Paris:FP) (LSE:TTA)
(NYSE:TOT), held today at its registered office under the
chairmanship of Mr Patrick Pouyanné, declared a dividend of €2.68
per share for the financial year 2019. Given the first two interim
dividends of €0.66 per share and the third interim dividend of
€0.68 per share paid respectively on October 1st, 2019, January 8,
2020 and on April 1st, 2020, the remaining final 2019 dividend to
be paid amounts to €0.68 per share.
The Shareholders’ Meeting also decided that shareholders will be
given the option to receive payment of this final dividend in cash
or in new shares of the Company, each choice being exclusive of the
other.
The share price of new shares to be issued as payment of the
final dividend is set at €28.80. This price is equal to 90% of the
average opening prices of the shares for the twenty trading days
preceding the Shareholders’ Meeting, reduced by the amount of the
final dividend and rounded up to the nearest cent. The shares
issued will carry immediate dividend rights, be admitted for
trading on Euronext Paris and be fully assimilated with existing
TOTAL shares.
If the amount of the final dividend for which the option is
exercised does not correspond to a whole number of shares, the
shareholders may opt to receive either the number of shares
immediately above, by paying a cash adjustment on the day they
exercise their option, or the number of shares immediately below,
plus a balancing cash adjustment.
Shareholders and holders of American Depositary Shares (“ADS”)
will be given the option to receive the dividend either in cash or
in new shares, by instructing their financial advisors, according
to the following timetable:
