Free Share attribution helps your portfolio to grow Air Liquide has awarded free shares to all its Shareholders 10 times during the last 20 years.
Free Shares mean you have more shares and, therefore, more dividend rights. They allow your portfolio to grow over time. Each Free Share bears a dividend entitlement. This means you will receive additional dividends starting the year after the Free Share attribution. If you have held registered shares for more than two full years, they are eligible for the Loyalty Bonus.
This Loyalty Bonus entitles you to an additional 10% of free shares whenever they are awarded.
Let’s take an example.
The operation sees one Free Share attributed for every 10 held, and you own 35 shares.
Fractional shares cannot be awarded. If the number of shares you hold is not a multiple of the attribution transaction, the value of the fractional share that cannot be awarded will be paid directly into your bank account.
Free Shares have the same benefits as the shares they are derived from: Loyalty Bonus; voting rights; and dividend rights.
