Practical questions

If I register my shares, can I sell them as easily?

Yes, your registered shares can be disposed of at any time, just like bearer shares. You retain complete freedom to the manage your shares.

How are registered shares taxed?

Registering your shares has no fiscal impact. The tax regime for registered shares is the same as for bearer shares. If you hold L’Oréal shares in a PEA (share savings plan) and wish to benefit from the advantages of registered shares, then managed registered shares are for you.

Will transferring my L’Oréal shares to registered form cost me anything and how can I be reimbursed?

Some financial institutions may charge you for transferring shares to directly registered form and we recommend that you ask your bank for information. We remind you that L’Oréal will reimburse you any transfer costs for directly registered shares up to a maximum of 50 euros.

You simply have to send your request for reimbursement, together with proof of your transfer costs, and full bank details, to the following address:
Service Actionnaires de L’Oréal
BNP Paribas Securities Services
C.T.S. Emetteurs
Service Mouvement Titres

- Preferential brokerage rate of 0.15% excluding tax, with a minimum of 6.10 euros excluding tax.

- Bank commission of 7.62 euros excluding tax.

How long does it take to transfer my shares to registered form?

Times vary depending on the financial institution. Do not forget that, to qualify for the preferential dividend as of 2020, your shares must be registered in direct or managed form no later than December 31, 2017. To make sure that this is the case, we recommend that you transmit your order for registration by December 10, 2017 at the latest.

What do the bonus codes, which my L’Oréal shares appear under on my securities account statement mean?
