The share capital increase of Groupe GO Sport (Paris:GSP)
(“the Company”) with upholding of the shareholders’
preferential subscription rights, supported by its main
shareholder, Rallye (as defined below) and launched on April 25th,
2012, has been entirely subscribed. Accordingly, the gross proceeds
of the transaction amount to €30,220,184, corresponding to the
issue of 7,555,046 new shares at a price of €4 per share.
Subscriptions by irrevocable entitlement (“à titre
irréductible”) represent €27,721,824, i.e. 6,930,456 new shares.
Subscriptions by entitlement subject to reduction (“à titre
réductible”) represent €2,498,360, i.e. 624,590 new shares.
In accordance with their respective commitments, Rallye and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Miramont Finance et Distribution,
Matignon Sablons and Alpétrol (“Rallye”) have largely
participated to the operation by subscribing: (i), 6,784,228 new
shares by irrevocable entitlement (à titre irréductible) for a
total amount of €27,136,912 (Rallye having purchased 639,778
preferential subscription rights on the market) and (ii) by
entitlement subject to reduction (à titre réductible), 623,849 new
shares not subscribed by other shareholders, representing the
balance of new shares to be issued.
Upon completion of the share capital increase, Rallye will hold
89.66% of the share capital and 88.85% of the voting rights of
Groupe GO Sport.
The settlement and delivery and the listing of the new shares
are expected to occur on May 21st, 2012. The new shares will carry
full dividend rights and will therefore entitle the holder, as from
their issue, to receive all distributions decided by the Company as
from this date. They will be immediately fully fungible with the
Company’s existing shares and will be traded, on the same listing
line and under the same ISIN code FR0000072456.
