Choose Registered Shares

The advantages of registered shares

	SAVE MONEY and enjoy specific benefits! Your shares are managed by EDF’s registered shareholder service. EDF pays the custodial fees.
	NO NEED TO CHANGE YOUR MANAGEMENT HABITS! Your shares remain in your securities account or equity savings plan. You benefit from: benefits of registered shares; benefits of being a bearer shareholder.

For any form of registered shareholding,
you benefit from the 10% dividend increase.
 

Holding your shares in pure registered form has certain advantages:

• no custodial fees and management fees to pay for your securities;
• preferential brokerage fees for stock market orders (0.30% before tax on the order amount, with a minimum of €6 before tax per executed order);
• easier participation to the Shareholders’ Meetings. The following forms are sent to your residence:
  • a convocation to the shareholders’ meeting,
  • a ballot form (by mail or by proxy), holders of registered securities do not have to immobilise their shares;
• personalized information and direct relation with EDF.

Please note

It is possible to transfer shares held in a PEA share savings plan to pure registered shares, but some practical difficulties arise. The legal system governing the PEA plans ensure that shares remain in the PEA whilst classified as “pure registered”.
As a result, some financial institutions may:

• reject them;
• impose special provisions;
• charge specific management fees, which diminish the benefits of pure registered compared to administered registered shares.
