Boussard & Gavaudan Holding Sterling shares (ISIN GG00B39VMM07)

 

Shareholders holding Sterling shares in CREST and wishing to convert from Sterling shares into Euro shares must contact their CREST custodian. The CREST custodian (or if not a CREST member, the custodian’s CREST agent) must send a USE message to JTC Registrars Ltd by close of business on 18 November 2022. As the Euro shares are only capable of being settled in Euroclear (Nederland), the CREST custodian will be required to send to JTC Registrars Ltd a Sterling to Euro class conversion form including the relevant Euroclear settlement instructions for the new Euro shares.

 

The Sterling to Euro class conversion form will be sent by post to all CREST custodians and available on the Company's website http://www.bgholdingltd.com/conversion.php.

Shareholders must ensure that the conversion request reaches their custodian bank by close of business (London time) on 18 November 2022. Their custodian bank has to arrange an effective delivery of the underlying euro shares within 2 (based on T+2) business days to Van Lanschot Kempen (ESES 29183 NDC 106) after 18 November 2022.
