Shareholder rights
One share one vote
ARYZTA’s capital is composed of registered shares only. Each share entered in the share register with voting rights entitles the holder to one vote at the general meeting and all shares have equal dividend rights.
As part of the establishment of ARYZTA, former holders of IAWS Group plc shares and options received ARYZTA registered shares, delivered initially in the form of Capita Depository Interests and then replaced by CREST Depository Interests (CDIs). The CDI’s were previously listed on Euronext Dublin, however the listing was cancelled in March 2021. CDI holders were not the legal owners of the shares represented by CDIs, and therefore they were not in a position to directly enforce or exercise rights like a shareholder. Any CDIs that were not sold or exchanged for the underlying Swiss registered shares prior to the delisting, continue to exist within the Crest system, however, hold no voting rights.
