The Bonds will be issued at par on 26 June 2015, the expected settlement date of the Bonds, and redeemed at par on 26 June 2022 (or on the following business day if this date is not a business day).
The Bonds will entitle their holders to receive new and/or existing Ingenico Group shares at a ratio of one share per one Bond, subject to any potential subsequent adjustments. The Bonds may be redeemed prior to maturity at the option of the Company, under certain conditions.
In the context of the offering, the Company will agree to a lock-up undertaking of 90 days, subject to certain exceptions.
