Act of 2 May 2007 on disclosure of major holdings
PrintAct of 2 May 2007 on disclosure of major holdings
The transparency legislation has the intent to ensure the transparency of the shareholding structure of companies quoted on the stock exchange. With this in mind, the transparency legislation imposes, in certain conditions, on persons who have a participation in a company quoted on the stock exchange to notify this participation both to the Financial Services and Markets Authority and the company involved.
For notifications to the FSMA, they recommend the use of a standard form TR-1 BE, that is available on the FSMA's web site (www.fsma.be).
Notifications to Roularta can be transmitted to the attention of Sophie Van Iseghem (tel. 00 32 473 46 00 48) to the e-mail address sophie.van.iseghem@roularta.be.
More information on the transparency legislation can be found in the Extract from the Guide to the Transparency Legislation
(https://www.fsma.be/en/shareholding-structure-0).

As of November 14, 2024: The change in the denominator is the result of the conversion of one registered share, which enjoyed double voting rights, into a dematerialised share.
The change in the denominator is due to the completion of the capital increase (within the framework of the authorised capital) and the issuance of 790,797 new shares, of which 719,459 are registered shares and this following the shareholders' ability to contribute their net dividend rights against the issuance of new shares.
The company hereby wishes to inform the market that the company's denominator had already undergone a change in 2020 following the introduction of the loyalty voting right in accordance with Section 7:53 of the Code of Companies and Associations.
With the introduction of the loyalty voting right at the 2020 extraordinary general meeting, the denominator was increased to 21,048,551 voting rights as of 19/05/2020.
In August 2022, the denominator underwent another change due to the loyalty voting right, with the denominator increasing to 22,548,551.
[1] Under the loyalty voting rights introduced in 2020, registered shares that have been continuously registered in the name of the same shareholder in the share register for at least two years carry double voting rights.
