Charenton-le-Pont, France (April 30, 2024 – 6:00 pm CEST) – EssilorLuxottica Annual Shareholders’ Meeting was held today at 3 Mazarium in Paris. Shareholders approved all 34 resolutions submitted by the Board of Directors to the Ordinary and Extraordinary General Meeting, including the distribution of a Euro 3.95 dividend per share for the financial year 2023, the compensation policy applicable to the Company’s Executive Corporate Officers and the re-appointment of all previous directors to the new Board of Directors.

“On behalf of the Board of Directors, we would like to extend warm thanks to our shareholders for their continued support and trust.

Payment of the dividend and option for payment of the dividend in shares

The resolution granting shareholders the option to receive their final dividend to be paid for the financial year ended on December 31, 2023, in shares has also been approved. As duly acknowledged by the Board of Directors, the price for newly issued shares for the payment of the dividend has been set at Euro 180.12 per share.

• This price corresponds to 90% of the average of the opening prices on Euronext Paris during the twenty trading days preceding the date of the Annual General Meeting less the amount of the final dividend to be distributed for the financial year ended on December 31, 2023, this total being rounded up to the next euro cent.
• The ex-dividend date¹ is set on May 6, 2024. The record date² is set on May 7, 2024.

Shareholders will be entitled to opt for payment of the dividend in newly issued shares between May 8, 2024 and May 28, 2024, inclusive (except for shareholders holding shares in pure registered form who have to exercise such option on May 24, 2024 at the latest). To exercise such option, shareholders have to address their request to the authorized financial intermediaries. For shareholders holding shares in pure registered form, the request will have to be addressed to the Company’s agent (Uptevia, 90 – 110 Esplanade du Général de Gaulle – 92931 Paris La Défense Cedex). For shareholders who have not exercised their option by the abovementioned deadlines, the final dividend will be entirely paid in cash.
