Sopra Steria Group’s New Legal Structure Approved

Regulatory News :

The Extraordinary General Meeting of shareholders of Sopra Steria Group (Paris:SOP) and 90.52%-owned Groupe Steria, held in Paris on Friday, 19 December 2014, approved the proposed reorganisations of the combined group’s legal structure by a large majority.

As indicated when the tie-up of the two groups was announced, and as confirmed in the information memorandum relating to the Public Exchange Offer, these reorganisations are the final step required to successfully complete the merger.

As of 31 December 2014, the merger-absorption of Groupe Steria by Sopra Steria Group is effective, and the share capital of Sopra Steria Group was increased to 20,361,201 shares by the issue of 786,489 new shares. On 2 January 2015, Groupe Steria’s shares were delisted from Euronext Paris.

Sopra Steria Group is thus on track to complete the operational merger of the two entities and begin generating the sought-after synergies.

The breakdown of the results of voting on the resolutions submitted to the Extraordinary General Meetings is available on the website of Sopra Steria Group: www.soprasteria.com.
