All resolutions put to shareholders by the board of directors were approved by an overwhelming majority¹.

The ordinary general meeting of Groupe Eurotunnel SA, having approved the statutory and consolidated financial statements, approved the distribution of a dividend of 12 cents of a euro per share, being a 50% increase of last year’s dividend, and ratified the appointment of Mrs. Perrette Rey as an independent director.
