Thales announces the distribution
of an interim dividend and the reduction of its share capital by cancellation of treasury shares
The Board of directors of Thales (Euronext Paris: HO), meeting on 8 October 2024 under the chairmanship of Patrice Caine, decided:
- to distribute an interim ordinary cash dividend of €0.85 per share for the current 2024 financial year; and
- to reduce the share capital of Thales S.A. by cancelling 4,268,227 treasury shares held in registered form, representing 2.03% of its share capital, with immediate effect, upon the authorisation granted by the extraordinary general meeting of May 10, 2023.
Distribution of an interim ordinary cash dividend of €0.85 per share for the current 2024 financial year.
The ex-dividend date will be 3 December 2024 and the interim dividend will be paid on 5 December 2024.
Reduction of share capital by cancellation of treasury shares
The 4,268,227 treasury shares held in registered form and about to be cancelled were bought back between February 15, 2023 and March 26, 2024 included. They represent the balance of shares acquired under share buyback program announced on March 3, 2022 and not yet cancelled.
As a consequence, the Board of directors acknowledged that the share capital of Thales now amounts to €617,825,739 divided into 205,941,913 shares with a nominal value of €3. This operation has no impact on Thales’ consolidated accounts nor on the net earnings per share.
