6.3.3.4 Contribution premium<br />

The difference between the amount of the net assets contributed and the nominal amount<br />

of the share capital increase of New Services will be accounted for as the “contribution premium”.<br />

The amount of the contribution premium that will be submitted for the approval of the Company’s<br />

General Meeting was established by the Company’s Board of Directors pursuant to the provisions of<br />

article 5.2 of the Contribution Agreement at the meeting that was held on May 11, 2010.<br />

On the basis of a net asset value of €1,009,185,385.63, and assuming a share capital increase<br />

of €451,757,792.00, the contribution premium would amount to €647,427,593.63.<br />

The contribution premium to which the existing and new shareholders of New Services will<br />

be entitled will be recorded on the liability side in the balance sheet of New Services. It may be<br />

allocated as decided by the Company’s shareholders’ meeting, in accordance with the principles in<br />

force.<br />

6.3.4 Distribution of the Company’s shares to the Accor shareholders<br />

The new Company shares issued as consideration for the Transaction, 225,878,896 Company<br />

shares, which represent 99.99% of the share capital of the Company on the Completion Date after the<br />

completion of the Transaction, will be distributed by Accor to its shareholders (other than Accor<br />

itself), in proportion to their equity interest in the share capital of Accor, at the rate of one (1) New<br />

Services share for each Accor share.<br />

The Transaction will be submitted to the shareholders of Accor and New Services Holding for<br />

their approval at the combined (ordinary and extraordinary) general meetings that will be held on<br />

June 29, 2010. Subject to the recording of the final completion of the contribution of assets<br />

contemplated in the Contribution Agreement by the Combined General Meeting of New Services on<br />

June 29, 2010, the spinoff of the New Services shares and the distribution of the cash dividend that<br />

will be submitted for the approval of the Accor shareholders at the General Meeting of June 29, 2010<br />

will occur before the start of trading on the Ex‐Date. The delivery of the New Services shares and the<br />

payment of the cash dividend will also occur on the Ex‐Date.<br />

6.3.4.1 Beneficiaries of the distribution of Company shares<br />

Each Accor share that is outstanding on the Ex‐Date (other than any share held by Accor<br />

itself) will give its holder the right to one New Services share.<br />

The beneficiaries of the spinoff of New Services shares will be the Accor shareholders (other<br />

than Accor itself) whose shares are recorded in their name at the close of the accounting day<br />

preceding the Ex‐Date, i.e., after the close of business on July 1, 2010, (after trades made during<br />

business hours on July 1, 2010 have been executed, even if the settlement of these orders takes place<br />

after the Ex‐Date).<br />

In other words, any person (other than Accor itself) who has acquired Accor shares (without<br />

having resold them) prior to the Ex‐Date will receive the distribution of New Services shares in<br />

accordance with the applicable market rules described below.<br />

The same rules apply for the cash dividend, provided, however, that the Accor shares with<br />

dividend rights only as of January 1, 2010 listed under the ISIN code FR0010840819 will not be<br />

entitled to such dividends.<br />

6.3.4.2 Exchange ratio of the Company shares<br />

Accor will distribute one New Services share for each Accor share as part of the Transaction.<br />
