ANNOUNCEMENT PURSUANT TO LAW 3556/2007:

Notification of change of share of voting rights

 

 

EYDAP S.A. pursuant to Law 3556/30.4.2007, Decision 1/434/3.7.2007 and Circular No. 33/2007 of the Hellenic Capital Market Commission, informs the investing community that, according to the relevant re-submission of the notification of the Ministry of Finance, which the Company received electronically on March 2nd, 2018, the total number of voting rights (indirectly and directly) controlled by the Greek State amounts to 65.319.740 (61.33%), of which the direct voting rights refer to 53.250.001 (50%+1 share) common registered shares and the indirect voting rights refer to 12.069.739 (11.33 %) common registered shares.

 

The re-submission is due to the correction of error (Government Gazette B 697/1.3.2018) of the 262/21.02.2018 decision of the Interministerial Committee for Restructuring and Privatizations (Government Gazette 614 / 22.02.2018). The correction relates to the number of shares transferred by the Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund (HRADF) to the Greek State, ie 17,004,761 shares (15.97% of the share capital) instead of 16,967,000 shares (15,93% of the share capital).

 

The voting rights of the 12.069.739 shares (11.33%) refer to the share of the capital held by HRADF in EYDAP S.A. The total (100%) of the shares of HRADF is held by the "Hellenic Corporation of Assets and Participations S.A." (HCAP S.A.), which in turn is 100% controlled by the Greek State, which controls indirectly these rights.

 

This change in the direct and indirect shareholding of the Greek State in EYDAP S.A. is due to the transfer of 17,004,761 shares (15.97%) from HRADF directly to the Greek State, following the execution of an over-the-counter transaction, free of charge, according to decision 262 of the Interministerial Committee for Restructuring and Privatizations (GG tΒ / 614/22.02.2018), and the correction of the error (GG B 697/1.3.2018) which partially revoked the decision 195/27.10.2011 (GG B 759) of the Interministerial Committee for Restructuring and Privatization.

The total participation percentage (direct and indirect) of the Greek State has not changed.
