On 20 November 2003, ALSTOM carried out a 299.9
million capital increase reserved for financial institutions.
ALSTOMs shareholders were then allocated warrants free
of charge allowing them to acquire the shares for the same
price subscribed to by these institutions (1.25 per
share) until 9 January 2004.

The take-up rate of these warrants was 92.6%.

The new shares are listed as of today, on the same line as
the old shares.
