Registered shares  [ Return towards  Shareholders  ]

Intermediary registered shares

These shares are registered in the Air Liquide Share Register but managed by your financial intermediary, who is your point of contact.

Direct registered shares

These shares are registered directly and exclusively in Air Liquide’s Share Register. Shareholder Services is your sole point of contact.

With both types of registered shares, Air Liquide, as the issuing company, knows who you are. It can therefore personalize service through its Shareholder Services. You can also benefit from 10% bonus dividend and increased bonus share allocation for all shares held in registered form for a specified period.

Bearer shares Air Liquide does not know the identity of non-registered shareholders, although the Articles of Association allow the Company to commission a Euroclear survey to identify its shareholders. This provides a snapshot of the Company’s share ownership structure at any given time. Holders of bearer shares need to contact the Company to receive information.

Converting bearer shares to direct registered shares or intermediary registered shares is a simple operation

A standard share conversion form is available from Shareholder Services or by clicking here Complete this form and forward it to your financial intermediary, who may charge a conversion fee for the service. Remember to ask to have your average share price  communicated to Air Liquide at the moment of transfer. Conversion to registered form has no impact on taxation.
