The total amount of the distribution is calculated based on the number of shares ranking for dividends at December{31, 2017 and could therefore change if this number varies between (1) January{1, 2018 and the ex-dividend date.
The ex-dividend date will be June{4, 2018 and the dividend will be payable from June{6, 2018. If, at the time of payment of the dividend, the number of treasury shares held by the Company has changed compared to that held on December{31, 2017, the fraction of the dividend relating to this variation will either increase or reduce retained earnings.
This dividend of €1.70 on each of the 168,483,742{shares bearing dividend rights on January{1, 2018, will be eligible for the 40% tax rebate referred to in Article{158.3.2 of the French Tax Code ( Code général des impôts ) for private individuals tax resident in France who opt for taxation at the progressive income tax scale. Where this option is not made, the dividend will fall within the application scope of the flat-rate income tax advance payment mechanism introduced by the{2018{Finance Act and will no longer be eligible for this 40%{rebate.
