6.3 Stock market information

6.3.1 CONTEXT The Compagnie des Alpes IPO took place on 18 November 1994 with the share priced at €11.90 (adjusted for the 2: 1 stock split in 2007 and various trading transactions). Compagnie des Alpes’ stock is listed in Segment B (Mid-caps) of Euronext. It is listed on the CAC All-Tradable (formerly SBF 250), CAC Mid & Small (formerly CAC Mid & Small 190), and CAC Small (formerly CAC Small 90). The former CAC Mid 100, an index which included CDA, was replaced by the CAC Mid 60 which no longer included CDA.

Since 26 May 2010, CDA stock benefits from the “long-only” Deferred Settlement Service ( Service de Règlement Différé – SRD), meaning shares are SRD-eligible upon purchase only. This change in the SRD will increase the list of SRD-eligible stocks within specific technical parameters. This new arrangement allows investors to leverage their CDA shares.
