Shareholder information

SHARES AND CAPITAL (DENOMINATOR)

The total capital of Unifiedpost Group amounts to EUR 259,806,199.46 and is represented by 30,881,484 fully paid-up ordinary shares. There are no preference shares. Each of these shares confers one voting right at the Shareholders’ Meeting and these shares therefore represent the denominator for the purposes of notifications under the transparency regulations, i.e. notifications in the event that the statutory or legal thresholds of 5%, or a multiple of 5%, of the total number of voting rights attached to Unifiedpost Group’s securities are reached, exceeded or exceeded. Unifiedpost Group’s articles of association do not provide for any additional statutory thresholds. 

A total of 169,022 subscription rights are outstanding. The subscription rights comprise 100,000 “Key Man Subscription Rights” held by Sofias BV (Hans Leybaert), 48,000 “ESOP Subscription Rights (2015)” – of which 1,000 have not been allocated -, and 21,022 “Investment Subscription Rights”. Each subscription right entitles its holder to 10 ordinary shares of Unifiedpost Group upon exercise. In the event of a conversion of the subscription rights, the transaction would result in the creation of a maximum of 1,690,220 shares with the same number of voting rights.
