On October 9, 2019, Air Liquide will carry out its 30th free share attribution. But what exactly does this transaction consist of, and more importantly, what is its purpose? Explanation.

Air Liquide regularly attributes free shares to all its shareholders. This is one of the major elements of its policy to involve shareholders in the Group’s success. 

The transaction is extremely straightforward. If you are a shareholder, you will receive one free share for every 10 shares held. And if you are eligible for the loyalty bonus, you will receive an additional 10% of free shares.

Many of you have questioned the advantage of this transaction. Is the attribution truly attractive for shareholders?

To answer all your questions, we spoke to Patrick Renard, Head of Air Liquide Shareholder Services.
