It only takes ownership of one share to be a Bolloré SE shareholder in all respects and thus an owner of a fraction of its equity.

You can hold Bolloré SE shares in two forms of your own choosing: bearer shares and registered shares.

These shares are registered to the financial intermediary of your choice — an investment services company, a bank or on-line brokerage — which acts as an intermediary between those who place orders and the market. If you hold bearer shares, you are able to put all of the shares in your portfolio into one account. Your identity is not known to Bolloré SE (unless Bolloré SE makes use of the identification procedure provided in its Bylaws).

There are two possible ways of holding registered shares.

Administered account:
Your stock portfolio is kept by your financial intermediary, which manages it and will be your only point of contact. Your shares, however, are also registered in the name shares registry kept by Bolloré SE, allowing us to identify you (for annual meeting notices, etc.).

Direct registration:
Your shares are registered directly and exclusively in the name shares registry kept by Bolloré SE, allowing us to identify you. Bolloré SE has engaged CACEIS Corporate Trust (CACEIS) which became UPTEVIA since 1 January 2023, to handle directly registered shares. UPTEVIA then becomes your point of contact; and you can consult about, or make trades in, this stock account on the Uptevia Investors (new website that replaces the Olis Shareholder website since December 2, 2024).

Owning shares registered directly or in an administered account gives you the following benefits:

Registered shareholders (direct or administered) are automatically entitled to attend the General Meetings and in accordance with law, directly receive at their address: the notice of meeting, an absentee ballot and a proxy ballot including a request for an admission ticket.

Each registered share, direct or administered, held for at least two years is entitled to a double vote.

In addition, owning shares registered directly gives you the following benefits:

Owners of directly registered shares have a hotline to UPTEVIA (formerly known as CACEIS), the firm that handles Bolloré SE registered shares, for receiving any and all information about the trades made in their account, the tax rules applying, when and where General Meetings are held, dividend payments and so forth.

This account can also be accessed on the Uptevia Investors (new website that replaces the Olis Shareholder webside since December 2, 2024).

Direct-registered shareholders enjoy no-fee custody and handling.

You have to instruct the financial intermediary that presently holds your shares to deliver them to UPTEVIA (formerly known as CACEIS) as directly registered shares. As soon as it receives the shares, UPTEVIA will send you a registration certificate. UPTEVIA will then be your securities account manager and your sole point of contact.

The issuer has not authorized PEAs for directly registered shares.

If you have shares of stock in a directly registered account with UPTEVIA (formerly known as CACEIS), you can send buy and sell orders through the Uptevia Investors (new website that replaces the Olis Shareholder site since December 2, 2024) or the Investor Relations department. UPTEVIA will send you a trade confirmation after each trade as well as a portfolio statement valued as of December 31, early in the following year.

If your shares are in bearer form in a financial intermediary account, you have to request the intermediary to register them on its books as administered registered shares. It will then transmit this information to UPTEVIA (formerly known as CACEIS). Your point of contact remains your financial intermediary. Shares held in a PEA may be registered in an administered account.

The tax treatment is the same for bearer shares and registered shares. Registering shares has no tax impact; there is no sale in the fiscal sense, only a change in how your shares are held. This transaction is completely neutral with regard to the taxation of capital gains on securities. A single tax form (IFU) for dividends paid and sales, if any, occurring during the year will be sent to you early the following year. The calculation of capital gains or losses is done by UPTEVIA (formerly known as CACEIS), with gains and losses broken down by level of tax abatement over the period the security was held. The information is given by way of illustration; responsibility for determining the holding periods and the relevant abatements remains part of the shareholder’s sole responsibility for his or her taxation.
