SHAREHOLDERS: loyalty and stability at the core of our model

Eurazeo’s strength lies in its stable shareholder base. The company has a core of entrepreneurial and family shareholders who share its long-term vision of the private equity business. This stability is the key to its independence and ability to create sustainable value.

R A TOTAL SHAREHOLDER RETURN THAT GREATLY SURPASSES MAR- KET PERFORMANCES In line with its long-term vision, Eurazeo coordinates its activity in order to create value and return for its shareholders in the long term. Between early 2013 and the end of 2018, the Eurazeo share clearly outperformed, with a Total Shareholder Return (TSR) of +18%, whereas the CAC 40 increased by 5% over the same period. The active share buyback and distribution policy that Eurazeo has adopted for its shareholders contributes to this outperformance. R IMPROVED DIVIDENDS With regard to dividend distribution for shareholders, Eurazeo is committed to its policy over the long term. Since 2002, the per share dividend has steadily increased on average by + 6.2% per year. Circumstances permitting, exceptional dividends are paid out in addition to ordinary dividends. In respect of 2018, a per share dividend of €1.25 will be proposed to the next Shareholders’ Meeting. This will be accompanied by the grant of one new share for every twenty shares held. R SHARE BUYBACKS AND CANCELLATIONS Eurazeo also implements an active share buyback policy, if justified by the discount, i.e. the difference between the NAV per share and the stock market price, and within the limit of its authorizations. The vast majority of the shares purchased are canceled during the year. This practice increases the NAV per share and automatically creates value for the shareholders.
