How do I collect dividends?

No action is required on your part. If you hold direct registered shares, dividends are deposited, by Air Liquide, directly into your account. For intermediary registered shares or bearer shares, Air Liquide transfers dividends to your bank, which in turn credits your account.

Loyalty dividend

For registered shares held for more than two full calendar years (since 2008 or before) and still held in the registered form on the payment date of the 2011 dividend distributed for fiscal year 2010, you will receive a 10% dividend bonus equal to €0.23 per share.
