Information to shareholders in relation to Shareholding and Settlement Arrangements post Migration
B&M European Value Retail S.A. ("B&M Luxembourg" or the "Company") is pleased to provide further information to shareholders regarding the statutory Migration pursuant to which it will become, in law, B&M European Value Retail plc ("B&M Jersey"), a public limited company governed by the laws of Jersey and will cease to be a société anonyme ("S.A.") incorporated under the Laws of Luxembourg.
Position regarding shareholdings prior to and following the Migration
Currently, the majority of the shareholders hold their shares either in the form of CREST Depository Interests ("CDIs") or indirectly through a broker, nominee or other custodian account with Euroclear. It is expected that the vast majority of the Company's existing shareholders will not need to take any action as a consequence of the Migration and that they will be able to continue to hold their interest in the Company's shares and to receive dividends in the same way as they do at the moment.
Dividend Mandates
Existing dividend mandates in respect of B&M Luxembourg shares will continue to be effective in relation to shares in B&M Jersey for all existing shareholders provided that any shareholders holding through CREST have enabled their CREST memorandum account to accept dividend payments via the CREST system in relation to their holdings.
Where can you find further information?
The Company has prepared an FAQ document for shareholders, which is available on the Company's website. Shareholders are advised to read the FAQ Document carefully to ensure that they understand the arrangements that will apply to them following the Migration being completed and the actions, if any, that they may wish to take.
Further updates on the Migration process
In anticipation of the Migration, an application will be made for admission of the B&M Jersey shares to the equity shares (commercial companies) category of the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority and to trading on the main market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange ("LSE") in place of the B&M Luxembourg shares, upon completion of the Migration (together, the "Admission"). Subject to certain regulatory approvals, it is expected that Admission and unconditional dealings in B&M Jersey shares will become effective after the publication of B&M Luxembourg's interim results on 13 November 2025 and prior to the end of this calendar year.
A new International Securities Identification Number ("ISIN"), JE00BVSYJW51, has been issued in respect of the B&M Jersey shares and will become effective upon the Migration being completed and Admission becoming effective.
A prospectus relating to the Admission is expected to be published by the Company shortly before Admission becomes effective. An announcement will be made at the relevant time via the LSE Regulatory News Service ("RNS") notifying shareholders that the prospectus has been published and that a copy of it is available for inspection on the Company's website.
