Shareholders opt for more than 60% of shares for optional dividend

The WDP shareholders chose for around 61% of their shares for a contribution of their dividend rights in consideration for new shares instead of payment of the dividend in cash. This result leads to a capital increase of around 33 million euros for WDP by way of the creation of 449,223 new shares, as a result of which the total number of WDP shares will equal 18,956,483. Today, together with the expected 2016 retained earnings, this capital increase leads to a total reinforcement of equity of around 56 million euros for 2016.
