The Managing Director of Rémy Cointreau SA (Paris:RCO), acting on the authority of the Board of Directors, decided on 23 May 2012 to put an end to the company’s share buyback programme, implementation of which started on 6 December 2011, in accordance with the authorisation of the general shareholders’ meeting of 26 July 2011.
Pursuant to this share buyback programme Rémy Cointreau has purchased 1,428,794 shares between 6 December 2011 and 23 May 2012, representing 2.88% of its share capital, for an average price of 67.29 euros.
