ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF 12 MAY 2015

The AGM approved the financial statements and consolidated accounts for the 2014 financial year and decided on a dividend payment of €1.44 per share, an increase of 3.6% compared with the dividend paid in 2014 for the 2013 financial year.

The AGM also largely approved all of the resolutions that had been proposed, in particular:

• The renewal for four years of the terms of office of Hubert FEVRE and Cédric LESCURE;
• The appointment of William GAIRARD to the position of director, replacing Jacques GAIRARD, whose term of office expires;
• The renewal and appointment of statutory auditors;
• The standard financial authorisations for issuing securities, stocks and bonds, including capital increases reserved for employees.

As for previous years, the dividend is increased by a loyalty bonus of 10% for shareholders registered for more than two years. The coupon was detached on 15 May and the dividend payment was made on 19 May 2015.

The AGM was also an opportunity to celebrate 40 years of the SEB share, which was first listed on the stock exchange on 27 May 1975, to look back over the growth of the Group since then and to thank those who have been shareholders from the outset and who were present in the room.
