Compagnie Financière Richemont SA (the ‘Company’) today announces that holders of depository receipts approved the termination of the depository receipt programme by the requisite majority. The Company also announces that it has obtained the required regulatory approvals to proceed with the previously announced termination of the programme.

 

The Company will deliver ‘A’ shares to depository receipt holders in a ratio of one ‘A’ share for ten depository receipts and the ‘A’ shares will be listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (the ‘JSE’) as a secondary listing. Further, the ‘A’ warrant receipts will be terminated effective upon termination of the depository receipt programme. Holders of ‘A’ warrant receipts will receive one ‘A’ warrant for each ten ‘A’ warrant receipts, and the ‘A’ warrants will be listed on the JSE as a secondary listing.

 

The secondary listing of the ‘A’ shares and ‘A’ warrants on the JSE is expected to become effective on 19 April 2023. The relevant ‘A’ shares and ‘A’ warrants are expected to be credited to the securities accounts of South African investors who previously held depository receipts and ‘A’ warrant receipts on 24 April 2023.
