Factsheet 1
Three ways of holding your Air Liquide shares
Two with your financial institution and one directly with Air Liquide.
1 Bearer shares
You hold a securities account or a Share Savings Plan (Plan d’Epargne en Actions, “PEA” in French) with a financial institution. Your shares are held in “bearer form”. Your contact is your financial institution.
2 Intermediary registered shares
You hold a securities account or a Share Savings Plan (Plan d’Epargne en Actions, “PEA” in French) with a financial institution, which you have asked to convert your shares from “bearer” mode to “intermediary registered” (see Factsheet No. 2). Intermediary registered shares are eligible for the Loyalty Bonus (see Factsheet No. 3); they are registered in your name in the Air Liquide register. Your financial institution remains your contact.
3 Direct registered shares
You hold a securities account directly with Air Liquide, without going through a financial institution. Your shares are eligible for the Loyalty Bonus (see Factsheet No. 3) and are registered in your name in the Air Liquide register. Your contact is Air Liquide.
For your information, you are entitled to hold bearer, intermediary registered and direct registered shares at the same time.
