EssilorLuxottica Annual Meeting Approves All Resolutions, Declares 4 Euro Dividend
EssilorLuxottica's Annual Shareholders’ Meeting on April 28, 2026, approved all 30 resolutions proposed by the Board of Directors. The company will distribute a dividend of 4 euros per share, with shareholders having the option to receive it in shares.
EssilorLuxottica’s Annual Shareholders’ Meeting, held on April 28, 2026, in Paris, saw the approval of all 30 resolutions presented by the Board of Directors. Shareholders endorsed the proposed dividend of Euro 4.00 per share for the 2025 financial year, alongside the compensation policy for executive corporate officers.
A key decision allows shareholders to opt for receiving their final dividend in newly issued shares instead of cash. The price for these shares has been set at Euro 175.06, calculated as 90% of the average opening prices on Euronext Paris over the twenty trading days preceding the meeting, minus the dividend amount.
The dividend payment is scheduled for June 3, 2026. Shareholders can exercise their option to receive shares between May 7 and May 28, 2026. If the dividend amount does not translate into a whole number of shares, shareholders will receive the number of shares rounded down, with the remainder paid in cash.
Following the meeting, Chairman and CEO Francesco Milleri and Deputy CEO Paul du Saillant stated that the shareholders' trust reflects confidence in the company's transformation strategy. They emphasized the company's ability to deliver tangible results and create lasting value for its stakeholders.
