How to hold your Air Liquide shares?

With your financial institution or directly with Air Liquide.

THREE POSSIBLE WAYS OF HOLDING YOUR SHARES

  1. Bearer shares

    You hold a securities account or a share savings plan (Plan d’Epargne en Actions, “PEA” in French) with your financial institution. As a reminder, if you hold a PEA in France it allows you to benefit from tax exemption under certain conditions. Your shares are held in “bearer shares” and 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 your financial institution. You may ask your financial institution to convert your “bearer shares” to “intermediary registered shares” (more details in the “Registering shares” Factsheet). “Intermediary registered shares” are eligible for the loyalty bonus and 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 using a financial institution. Your shares are registered in your name in the Air Liquide register and are eligible for the loyalty bonus. As a reminder, “direct registered shares” cannot be held in a “PEA” or share savings plan at Air Liquide. Your contact is the Air Liquide team at the Shareholder Services Department.
