HOW TO BENEFIT FROM THE ADVANTAGES OF “REGISTERED” SHARES
These steps must be taken with your financial institution.
TO INTERMEDIARY REGISTERED SHARES(1), WHILE STAYING WITH YOUR FINANCIAL INSTITUTION
Ask your financial institution to convert your bearer shares into intermediary registered shares. For your information, you cannot buy shares directly in intermediary registered form.
-
Ask your financial institution directly: it may offer this service on its website;
-
Or, fill in the Air Liquide form to convert bearer shares into intermediary registered shares and send it to your financial institution. You can download it from airliquide.com (under Investors, Your essential documents, Conversion/ Transfer) or request it from your Shareholder Relations advisors.
Following this conversion, your shares will be registered in the Air Liquide register in your name while your securities account will remain with your financial institution.
TO DIRECT REGISTERED SHARES(1)(2), BY TRANSFERRING YOUR SHARES TO AIR LIQUIDE
Ask your financial institution to transfer shares held in “bearer” or “intermediary registered” form to Air Liquide (direct registered shares).

Your financial institution will carry out the transaction and inform Air Liquide.
Your Shareholder Relations advisors will then send you a Securities Account Agreement that you will have to complete and return to us to finalize the opening of your direct registered securities account.
