Arkema : Terms and Conditions for Payment of the Dividend in Shares

Regulatory News:

Arkema (Paris:AKE):

Arkema’s shareholders approved at the Annual General Meeting on 2 June 2015 the distribution of a €1.85 dividend per share as well as the option for the payment of the entire distributed dividend either in cash or in new Arkema shares*.

The issue price for the new shares to be distributed in payment of the dividend is €61.64. It is equal to 90% of the average of the opening price of Arkema shares on Euronext Paris for the twenty trading days prior to the date of the Annual General Meeting, reduced by the net amount of the dividend, with the price rounded up to the nearest greater euro cent.

If the amount of the dividend for which this option is exercised does not correspond to a whole number of shares, shareholders may choose to receive the nearest greater whole number of shares by paying the difference in cash on the day of the exercise of the option, or to receive the nearest lower whole number of shares with the outstanding balance in cash.

Shares issued in payment of the dividend will carry dividend rights as of 1^st January 2015 and will be entirely assimilated to existing shares in the Company.

Dividend timetable

Beyond the option period or if this option is not exercised, the dividend will be paid in cash only.

* The option regarding the payment of the 2014 dividend is not available for shareholders resident in Australia, Japan, or in any other country in which such option would require registration with or approval by local securities regulators; shareholders are expected to ascertain the conditions for such option that may apply under local law.
