Extraordinary General Meeting* - March 31, 2009 |
|
|
An Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) will be held on Tuesday, March 31, 2009 at 10.30am (Paris time) at the Carrousel du Louvre, 99 rue de Rivoli, 75001 Paris.
In the context of the €4.5 billion action plan announced by Lafarge to rapidly strengthen its financial structure and support the Group's growth, an exceptional capital increase of €1.5 billion is anticipated. The Meeting will in particular be invited to vote on the delegation of competence granted to the Board of directors in order to issue shares in the Company, with shareholders' preemptive subscription rights maintained.
The increase, combined with the Company's operational work, would enable the Group to significantly reduce its debt in 2009.
Your participation is important!
