In conformità con le disposizioni dell articolo 2 . 6 . 7 . 3 (4) del prospetto di emissione e di ammissione delle OCEANEs (cod . ISIN FR0010098194) autorizzato dall Autorité des Marchés Financiers il 24 giugno 2004 col numero 04-627 (il "Prospetto"), a partire dalla pubblicazione del corrispondente avviso Euronext, il Rapporto di Attribuzione di Azioni (così come definito nel Prospetto) sarà aggiustato in modo tale che ogni azione OCEANE darà diritto, tramite cambio o conversione, a 0,117 azioni SCOR (per un prezzo di conversione pari a EUR 17,09 per azione SCOR) . As fractional entitlements may result from the new Conversion/Exchange Ratio, it is specified that each bondholder that exercises its conversion right, shall be entitled to the delivery of:- either the nearest lower whole number of shares, in which case the bondholder receives a cash payment equal to the value of the corresponding fractional entitlement, assessed on the basis of the Euronext Paris opening price of the SCOR shares on the last trading day of the calendar month in which the bondholder exercises its conversion right and during which SCOR shares are listed;- or the nearest higher whole number of shares, on condition of payment to the Company of an amount equal to the value of the additional fractional entitlement thereby requested, calculated on the basis set out in the preceding paragraph . Should the bondholder fail to state his choice of option, he/she shall receive the number of SCOR shares rounded down to the nearest whole number, plus the remainder in cash as described above . Additional information is available in the notice to be published by SCOR in the Bulletin des Annonces légales obligatoires on September 11, 2009 . The new ratio, as well as the method for the settlement of any fractional entitlements concerning the OCEANEs, shall continue to apply for so long as such OCEANEs remain in circulation, unless modified by the Company . Bondholders are reminded that they may exercise their conversion rights at any time up until December 22, 2009 (i . e . the seventh business day prior to the normal redemption date set at January 1st, 2010) subject notably to the potential application of the provisions set out in the Prospectus in relation to the suspension of the conversion/exchange right or the early redemption of OCEANEs) .
