• Share ownership

  What are the different share accounts?
  In France, securities may be held in bearer or registered form.

  > Bearer shares
  Bearer shares are managed by a financial intermediary of the shareholder’s choice. Schneider Electric has no record of ownership unless it requests an “Identifiable Bearer Security” analysis.

  > Registered shares

  • Administered registered shares
    Shares are registered in the Uptevia’s books, but are held by a financial intermediary designated by the shareholder, separate from Uptevia. This intermediary manages the shareholder’s account and is the shareholder’s point of contact. However, the intermediary informs Uptevia of the existence of these shares, where necessary.
  • Direct registered shares :
    Shares are registered and kept in the name of the shareholder in the Uptevia’s books. However, the administrative management of these shares may be delegated to Uptevia, which acts as custodian. Uptevia thus becomes the shareholder’s single point of contact.

  What are the advantages of being a direct registered shareholder of Schneider Electric?

  As a direct registered shareholder, you have many advantages:

  • Personal invitation to all Schneider Electric Annual Shareholders’ Meetings whatever the quantity of shares you hold.
  • Double voting rights after at least two consecutive years of holding the shares in a registered form on the 31st of December of the year preceding the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting.
  • Preferential management fees.
