The dividend will be paid entirely in cash as from Monday June 24, 2002.

The General Meeting also decided the four-for-one stock split designed to increase the liquidity of the Saint-Gobain share and set as a result the par value of each share at 4 euros. On Thursday June 27, 2002 the shares with a par value of 16 euros will be exchanged on the basis of four new shares for an old one.
