Dassault Systèmes Announces Plan to Register as a European Company

Regulatory News:

Dassault Systèmes SA (Paris:DSY) (Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY.PA), the 3DEXPERIENCE Company, world leader in 3D design software, 3D Digital Mock Up and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions announces its plan to change the legal status of the Company from that a French Public Limited Company (Société anonyme) to that of a European Company.

On March 21, 2014, the Board of Directors of Dassault Systèmes SA agreed to adopt the status of European Company (Societas Europaea, SE), a designation that better represents the international dimension of the Company and its growing presence in Europe driven by recent acquisitions. The SE designation is supported by European Union authorities and has been adopted by numerous major groups.

The draft terms of conversion were filed with the Commercial Registry of Versailles on March 27, 2014. The conversion should be submitted to the shareholders’ meeting of Dassault Systèmes SA for approval in 2015.
