In connection with the sale by Airbus Group of approximately 1.61 million shares in Dassault Aviation through a bookbuilt offering to institutional investors announced on March 25, 2015, BofA Merrill Lynch, acting on behalf of the joint bookrunners, has exercised in its entirety the over-allotment option granted by Airbus Group to the joint bookrunners in respect of around 0.12 million shares in Dassault Aviation.
The offer price for the sale of the Over-allotment Shares is €1,030 per share, corresponding to the price of the Placement. Settlement and delivery of the Over-allotment Shares will take place on 14 April, 2015.
As a result, following the exercise of the over-allotment option, the total number of Dassault Aviation shares sold by Airbus Group in the Placement reaches approximately 1.73 million shares, representing approximately 18.75% of the share capital of Dassault Aviation. This thereby increases the total size of the Placement to approximately € 1.76 billion and brings Airbus Group’s holding in Dassault Aviation to around 23.36%.
Furthermore, BofA Merrill Lynch, acting as stabilising agent, informed Airbus Group that no stabilisation transaction has been carried out during the stabilisation period, which closed on April 10, 2015.
