Pompey (France), 25 October 2013 (18.00 CET): Global Graphics (NYSE Euronext: GLOG) announces the starting and ending dates of the period during which those shareholders who, on 18 October 2013, opposed the transfer of the Company’s registered office to the UK (the “Proposed Transfer”) may request the repurchase of their shares by the Company, and confirms the process to be followed to do so.

Only shareholders opposing the Proposed Transfer may make a repurchase request
In accordance with the provisions of the third paragraph of article L.229-2 of the French Commercial Code, only those shareholders of the Company having expressed their opposition to the Proposed Transfer during the 18 October 2013 general meeting (either by voting against the Proposed Transfer resolution, or by having abstained during the vote on that resolution) are entitled to request the repurchase of their shares by the Company.
On the contrary, shareholders who did not participate in the 18 October 2013 meeting or who approved the Proposed Transfer on that date are not entitled to request the repurchase of their shares by the Company.

Process to be followed to make a share repurchase request
In accordance with the provisions of article R.229-6 of the French Commercial Code, for being valid, the confirmation of a shareholder’s opposition to the Proposed Transfer and the formal share repurchase request need to be filed by the shareholder with the Company:

by way of a registered letter which must be sent to the Company’s registered office, which is currently located at 146 boulevard de Finlande, Z.I. Pompey Industries, 54340 Pompey (France); and
within a 30-day period starting on the date when the last of the two notices the provision of which is required by article R.229-5 of the French Commercial Code (i.e. the publication of a notice on the Proposed Transfer in a legal gazette as well as in the Bulletin des Annonces Légales et Obligatoires) is published.

Both notices were published today; accordingly, the period during which those shareholders opposing the Proposed Transfer may request the repurchase of their shares by the Company expires on close of business on Monday 25 November 2013.

Share repurchase offer sent by the Company to the shareholders
In accordance with the provisions of article R.229-7 of the French Commercial Code, the Company will send those shareholders meeting both conditions mentioned above a share repurchase offer by way of a registered letter and within a 15-day period following the receipt of the valid share repurchase request.
The share repurchase offer will notably include information on the price at which the shares will be repurchased (which was set at Euro 1.80 per share by the Board on 30 September 2013), the proposed means of payment for those shares, the period during which the offer will be valid (which will be a minimum of 20 calendar days), as well as the place where the offer acceptance must be sent.

Dispute on the share repurchase price
Any dispute formed by a shareholder with respect to the share repurchase price will have to be brought to the competent court within the jurisdiction of the Appeal Court of Nancy, and within the period set by the share repurchase offer, in accordance with the provisions of article R.229-8 of the French Commercial Code.
In accordance with the provisions of the same article, should a dispute formed by one shareholder with respect to the share repurchase price be accepted by the court, this would put all other shareholders having filed a valid share repurchase request with the Company in the same position, as provided by the provisions of article 331 of the French Civil Procedure Code.

Information on the final number of shares to be repurchased by the Company
The meeting of the Company’s Board of Directors which will be held on 26 November 2013 (being the day following that when the period for those shareholders opposing the Proposed Transfer to request the repurchase of their shares will end) will take note of the total number of shares for which a valid share repurchase made by those shareholders has been received by the Company.
A press release will be issued by the Company in that respect.

Settlement of shares to shareholders having made a valid share repurchase request
The settlement of shares to shareholders having made a share repurchase request which complies with applicable regulatory provisions is expected to take place during the week ending 20 December 2013.

Should you have any further query on the above, please contact the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, either by e-mail at investor-relations@globalgraphics.com, or by written request sent for his attention at the Company’s registered office.

Outcome of the special meeting of the shareholders holding shares to which a double voting right is attached which was held on 18 october 2013

Pompey (France), 21 October 2013 (08.30 CET) – All of the proposed resolutions were passed with unanimous consent at the special meeting, held on 18 October 2013, of those shareholders of Global Graphics SE (NYSE-Euronext: GLOG) holding shares to which a double voting right is attached.

OVERVIEW OF RESOLUTIONS PASSED DURING THIS MEETING
Both proposed resolutions were passed with unanimous consent at the special meeting of those shareholders of Global Graphics SE (the “Company”) holding shares to which a double voting right is attached, notably the proposed cancellation of the double voting right attached to the ordinary shares of the Company which are fully paid, and which have been held in nominative form by the same shareholder for a minimum period of two years.

This decision to cancel the double voting right attached to the Company’s shares was subject to the approval by the Company’s shareholders in their ordinary and extraordinary meeting on 18 October 2013 (the “18 October 2013 General Meeting”) of:

firstly, the proposed cancellation of the double voting right attached to the Company’s shares, as set out in the sixth paragraph of article 17 of the Company’s articles of association; and
secondly, the proposed transfer of the Company’s registered office to the UK (the “Proposed Transfer”), which would be effective only if the number of shares for which share repurchase requests were made to the Company was lower than 103,000 shares.

Both resolutions were passed with either unanimous or large consent during the 18 October 2013 General Meeting; in addition, since the number of shares held by those shareholders of the Company opposing the Proposed Transfer was lower than 103,000 shares, the Proposed Transfer is certain and will be effective from the date when the Company is registered with Companies House.
As a result, since both abovementioned conditions have been met, the double voting right attached to the Company’s shares is cancelled, such cancellation being effective from the date when the Company is registered with Companies House.

DETAILED VOTE INFORMATION
A detailed vote result for each of the proposed resolutions is attached as an appendix to this press release.

Proposed Transfer (2^nd resolution)

As indicated above, the Proposed Transfer was passed with a large majority.

the cancellation of the double voting right was final, since it was passed with unanimous consent at both the special meeting, held on 18 October 2013, of the shareholders of the Company holding shares to which a double voting right is attached, and the General Meeting; and that
based on votes issued for the second resolution of the General Meeting relating to the Proposed Transfer, the number of shares for which a share repurchase request may be made is lower than 103,000, since the number of shares held by those shareholders opposing the Proposed Transfer was 80,790.

within a 30-day period starting on the date when the last of the two notices the provision of which is required by article R.229-5 of the French Commercial Code (i.e. the publication of a notice on the Proposed Transfer in a legal gazette as well as in the Bulletin des Annonces Légales et Obligatoires (BALO) is published.

Compte-rendu de l’assemblee speciale des actionnaires titulaires d’actions a droit de vote double reunie le 18 octobre 2013

Pompey (France), le 21 octobre 2013 (08.30) – l’assemblée spéciale des actionnaires titulaires d’actions à droit de vote double de Global Graphics SE (NYSE-Euronext : GLOG), qui s’est réunie le 18 octobre 2013 à Bruxelles, a adopté à l’unanimité les deux résolutions qui lui étaient soumises

Résolutions adoptées lors de cette assemblée
Les actionnaires titulaires d’actions à droit de vote double de Global Graphics SE (ci-après, la « Société ») ont adopté à l’unanimité les deux résolutions qui étaient soumises à leur vote, et notamment la proposition de consentir à la suppression du droit de vote double attaché aux actions ordinaires de la Société, entièrement libérées, et pour lesquelles il est justifié d’une inscription nominative au nom du même actionnaire depuis deux ans au moins.

Il est rappelé que cette décision de suppression du droit de vote double était subordonnée à l’approbation par l’assemblée générale ordinaire et extraordinaire des actionnaires de la Société, qui s’est réunie le 18 octobre 2013, de la proposition du conseil d’administration :

d’une part, de supprimer le droit de vote double attaché aux actions de la Société prévu au sixième alinéa de l’article 17 des statuts de la Société,
et d’autre part, de transférer le siège social de la Société au Royaume-Uni, ce transfert étant lui-même conditionné à l’absence de demandes de rachat de leurs actions par les actionnaires de la Société opposés audit projet de transfert portant sur un nombre d’actions supérieur à 103 000 actions.

Ces deux résolutions ayant été adoptées soit à l’unanimité, soit à une large majorité, et le nombre d’actions détenues par les actionnaires opposés au projet de transfert de siège étant inférieur à 103 000 actions (cf. compte-rendu de l’assemblée générale mixte publié de manière séparée), le transfert de siège social de la Société au Royaume-Uni est définitif, sa réalisation effective ne dépendant désormais que de l’accomplissement des formalités d’immatriculation de la Société au registre des sociétés britannique.
Par suite, les conditions suspensives susvisées étant toutes deux remplies, le droit de vote double attaché aux actions de la Société est supprimé, cette suppression devenant effective le jour de l’immatriculation de la Société au registre des sociétés britannique.

Présentation détaillée du résultat du vote
Une présentation détaillée du résultat du vote pour les deux résolutions soumises au vote des actionnaires de la Société lors de cette assemblée spéciale figure en annexe du présent communiqué.
