Bois Sauvage Company: Transparency Notification

Compagnie du Bois Sauvage has issued a transparency notification, following form TR-1 BE. This declaration is motivated by the acquisition of securities conferring voting rights. The key date mentioned for crossing the threshold is March 8, 2024. The threshold exceeded is 45% of the voting rights.

The control structure is as follows: Nicole Thys controls SA Anchorage, which owns Fingaren SRL. Finally, Fingaren SRL manages Entreprises et Chemins de Fer en Chine SA (ECFC), which controls Compagnie du Bois Sauvage. Together, these entities hold 51.33% of the voting rights.

This notification comes despite the fact that the overall group has not crossed a threshold, underlining the importance of the change in the structure of ECFC.
