Proxy Report - 05/05/2018

La présente AG pose le débat du niveau de dividende responsable pour EDF. Alors que le conseil d'administration propose de diviser par deux le dividende par action, les actionnaires salariés, via le FCPE EDF Actions France, propose en résolution A de ne pas verser de dividende. Proxinvest félicite le conseil pour ce geste fort et peu aisé de réduction drastique du dividende. Au regard des besoins d'investissement et du Free Cash Flow, celui-ci reste tout de même élevé pour pouvoir garantir sa pérennité. La société propose l'option pour le dividende en actions qui a le mérite de limiter les sorties de trésorerie mais dilue les actionnaires optant pour le dividende en numéraire dans des conditions injustes puisqu'une décoté de 10% s'applique en faveur du dividende en actions.

L'assemblée générale 2017 avait rejeté certains conventions au regard d'un supposé manque d'information, l'Etat ne participant pas au vote. Il est proposé de nouveau d'approuver cette fois-ci l'accord définitive d'acquisition des activités réacteurs d'Areva pour 2,4 Mds €, EDF prenant 75,5% de la nouvelle Framatome, aux côtés de Mitsubishi Heavy Industrials (19,5%) et Assystem (5%).
