BREAKDOWN OF SHARE CAPITAL AND VOTING RIGHTS

Total number of voting rights and shareholders

Neopost S.A. is controlled neither directly nor indirectly. There is no agreement which might lead to a change of control.

At 31 January 2020, the Company’s share capital comprised 34,562,912 shares, each carrying one voting right. There is no shareholder pact or agreement. Given the large free float, the high proportion of capital owned by foreign entities and the high trading volumes, the Company does not know the exact number of shareholders. To the Company’s knowledge, no shareholder owns more than 3 % of its capital other than those mentioned in chapter 3 of this universal registration document. In addition to the ownership disclosure requirements as defined under articles L.233-7 to L.233-14 of the French commercial code, Neopost S.A. requires all shareholders whose ownership rises above 3 % , and every subsequent 1 % increment, to disclose any increase or decrease in their interest. This requirement was introduced by the Annual General Meeting of 5 October 1998. Failure to comply with ownership disclosure requirements will lead to the forfeiture of voting rights for a two-year period starting from the date on which disclosure is finally made.

Treasury shares

The number of treasury shares at the end of January 2020 was 138,436 of which 132,468 shares held within the framework of the liquidity contract and 5,968 shares acquired to fulfill the obligations relating to the stock-option and free share plans awarded to employees or corporate officers. In 2005, Quadient signed a liquidity contract with Exane BNP Paribas worth a total value of 8 million euros. At 31 January 2020, the Group owned 132,468 shares within the framework of this liquidity contract, with a book value of 2.8 million euros.
