Share holding method:

Your shares can be registered in a share account in your name under one of the following formats: bearer shares, registered shares in its name maintained by a bank, or registered shares in its name maintained by the Company.

Bearer shares

Your shares are registered at the financial intermediary of your choice. You may then regroup all of the shares in your portfolio under the same account. 

In this respect, you are only temporarily identified by the Company (during enquiries concerning bearer shares carried out by Euroclear France) and therefore don’t receive an invitation to take part in the Annual General Meeting.  

Registered shares in its name maintained by the Company
