Types of shareholding

Your shares are registered on a securities account under your name, in several possible forms:

As “bearer shares”: the account is managed by your bank or financial intermediary, be it Société Générale or another.
As “administered registered shares”: the account is also managed by your financial intermediary, but what’s more, the shares are registered in the books of the issuing company, who can thus send you information on a regular basis as well as your entry card to the Annual General Meeting. You do not need to ask for a stock certificate to attend the AGM.
If you own “registered shares” they are not held on a securities account, but directly registered in the books of the issuer or of its registrar.
