As a shareholder, you have the choice of two ways to hold your shares :

  • in bearer form : you register your shares with a financial intermediary; you are therefore not certain to be identified as a shareholder by BOIRON at any given moment, except when BOIRON orders an identifiable bearer security (Titres au Porteur Identifié - TPI) data file from Euroclear;
  • in registered form : your shares are directly registered with BOIRON, but deposited in an account with UPTEVIA (Service aux Actionnaires – 9 rue du Débarcadère – 93 500 PANTIN - FRANCE – Tél. 01.40.14.40.59). If your shares are registered, you will receive an invitation to the AGM directly, and benefit from double voting rights for each share held for more than 3 years.

The right to attend the General Meetings is subject to registration of the securities in the books in the name of the shareholder or of the intermediary registered on the shareholder’s behalf three working days before the meeting at midnight, Paris time, either in the share register kept by the company, or in the register of bearer shares kept by the authorised intermediary.

 

If the shares are in registered form, the shareholder will receive a notification document (with a postal voting form) from BNP Paribas.

If the shares are in bearer form, the shareholder must ask his/ her bank or the intermediary that manages the securities to have them registered or recorded by book entry, which is confirmed by a participation certificate. To be able to participate in the meeting, this participation certificate must be sent to UPTEVIA (Service aux Actionnaires – 9 rue du Débarcadère – 93 500 PANTIN - FRANCE – Tél. 01.40.14.40.59) with a view to obtaining an admission card, or the certificate must be presented on the day of the meeting by any shareholder who has not received an admission card.

 

Shareholders who do not attend the meeting in person may choose one of the three options below :

a. Give voting authority to their spouse or other shareholder as proxy;
b. Assign voting authority to the company without a specific proxy representative;
c. Send in a postal vote.

Registered shareholders will be sent one single form with attachments for postal voting or for proxy voting.

Bearer shareholders must ask UPTEVIA (Service aux Actionnaires – 9 rue du Débarcadère – 93 500 PANTIN – Tél. 01.40.14.40.59) to send them a single postal or proxy voting form. All requests received at least six days before the date of the meeting will be honoured.

This form must be returned, accompanied in the case of bearer shareholders by their statement of participation, so that the departments of BNP Paribas Securities Services receive it at least three days before the meeting is scheduled to take place.
