Your shares may be held in bearer or registered form

Bearer shares

They are the most common form. They are purchased and managed by your bank or broker, without your name appearing in the Edenred share registry.

 

Registered shares

Indirectly registered shares

They are held in an account managed by your bank or broker, which registers them under your name in the Edenred share registry. You enjoy the same benefits as if the shares were directly registered with Edenred, except that you must pay the custody fees.

Directly registered shares

They are recorded in the Edenred share register and held in an account managed by Société Générale Securities Services, the Company’s registrar. In this case, you do not have to pay any custody fees.

If you register your shares, you will systematically and directly receive all of the latest Company information, news and documents, including Notices of Meeting, admission card request forms, proxy/postal voting forms and document request forms.

You will also be invited to attend meetings with shareholders organized by Edenred in Paris and elsewhere in France. Lastly, shares registered in the same name for at least two years carry double voting rights.

If you wish to hold your Edenred shares in a French PEA personal equity plan, you may register them and enjoy the related benefits, except that you will be liable for the custody fees charged by your PEA custodian.

However, you should make sure that registering your shares does not entail any additional management fees from your custodian.
