There are alternative methods by which you can become an Aramis Group shareholder:
As French legislation and Aramis Group’s by-laws currently stand, the main rights attached to Aramis Group’s shares are as follows:
As a shareholder of Aramis Group, you become the owner of a portion of its capital.
As co-owner of the company, the shareholder is associated with its development, but also with its risks. However, these are limited to the amount of its capital share, regardless of the debts contracted by the company. Shareholders only bear losses up to the amount of their contributions.
Your shares may be held in a securities account in your name in one of the following three forms: bearer shares, managed registered shares or fully registered shares.
Bearer shares are held in a share account with a bank or broker of your choice. You can therefore group all the shares in your portfolio in the same account. This account records all transactions related to shares (purchases, sales, secondment of rights).
If you wish to hold bearer shares, you may contact your broker who will help you to acquire Aramis Group’s share.
However, you are only identified by the company on an ad hoc basis (in bearer share surveys conducted by Euroclear France) and therefore you do not receive notices of Shareholders’ General Meetings.
Your shares are registered and held in the Securities Department of a broker appointed by Aramis Group to manage its fully registered shareholders:
Société Générale Securities Services
Immeuble Perspective Defense
5 Rue du Débarcadère Bat B
92700 Colombes
You are identified by Aramis Group and will therefore receive the notices of Shareholders’ General Meetings.
You benefit from free custody fees and double voting rights allocated to all fully paid-up shares for which proof of registration as registered shares for at least two years has been provided, in the name of the same shareholder.
To become a fully registered shareholder, simply ask your broker to transfer your shares to Société Générale Securities Services. The cost of this operation is defined by your broker.
If your shares are in managed registered form, they are held in a securities account with the broker of your choice. They are recorded in Aramis Group’s records. You have a single securities account for your entire share portfolio, but you do not benefit from free custody rights.
You are identified by Aramis Group and will therefore receive the notices of Shareholders’ General Meetings.
