Danone Stock Information
BEARER SHARES
Shares are categorised as "bearer shares" when the name of the owner is not disclosed to the issuing company. However, these shares are not anonymous since they appear in the account managed by the financial intermediary. In France, most shares traded on the Stock Exchange belong to this category.
REGISTERED SHARES
Shares are categorised as "registered shares" when the name of the shareholder appears in the share register of the company. The use of registered shares makes communication between the company and its registered shareholders easier. This method may take two forms:
- shares are "managed registered shares" when the management of the securities account is entrusted to a financial intermediary. The service is billed by the financial intermediary.
- shares are "pure registered shares" when they are entered directly and only in the share register of the issuing company. The issuing company is in charge of the administrative management of the shares and no custodian fees are paid.
In the case of Danone, Uptevia is in charge of managing registered shares.
This formula is advantageous to persons who do not intend to make frequent trades in the Danone shares they hold.
PURE REGISTERED SHARES
ADVANTAGES
- The shareholder receives regular information on Danone (including notices of Shareholders Meetings, in particular).
