Regulatory News: 

Eurazeo`s (Paris:RF) shareholders were offered the option to receive the
dividend for the 2008 fiscal year in shares or in cash. For stock dividend, the
issue price for new shares was set at 31.14 euros, corresponding to the average
of the Company`s opening share price over the twenty trading days preceding the
date of the Shareholders` meeting, less the net dividend amount and rounded up
to the nearest euro cent. 

At the closing of the option period (June 4, 2009 to June 17, 2009), 38.03% of
voting rights were exercised in favor of this option. 765,041 new shares will be
issued, delivered and admitted for trading on the market Euronext Paris on June
