Registering SHARES

How do I do it?

You wish to benefit from the loyalty bonus?

It’s easy! Convert your shares to “registered form”.

CONVERTING YOUR AIR LIQUIDE SHARES TO INTERMEDIARY REGISTERED SHARES

You hold your shares with a financial institution (“bearer form”).

It is up to you to initiate with your financial institution the request to convert your “bearer” shares to 
“intermediary registered” shares. 

You may:

  1. Either request it online if your financial institution offers this option;
  2. Or fill in the form to convert your shares to intermediary registered shares (downloadable from the airliquide.com website or available from the Shareholder Services Department) and send it to your financial institution.

Your shares will then be registered in your name in the Air Liquide register and your securities account will still be held by your financial institution.

TRANSFER YOUR AIR LIQUIDE SHARES TO DIRECT REGISTERED SHARES

If you hold your shares with a financial institution (“bearer shares” or “ intermediary registered shares”). It is up to you to initiate a request to your financial institution to transfer your shares directly to Air Liquide (“direct registered shares”).

Fill in the form to transfer your shares to “direct registered shares” (downloadable from the airliquide.com website or available from the Shareholder Services Department) and send it to your financial institution(a). Your financial institution will carry out the transaction and inform Air Liquide’s Shareholder Services Department, which will then send you an Account Agreement. This agreement must be returned to the Shareholder Services Department to finalise the opening of your shares-account with Air Liquide.
