accept the capital increase through the exchange of shares, the
participation breakdown in the resulting company will be 77% for existing
Sogecable shareholders and 23% for those of Via Digital. The exchange ratio
will therefore be that resulting from the division of 28,981,121 Sogecable
new shares by the total number of existing Via Digital shares at the moment
of the exchange.
