Shareholding options

How to acquire securities?

You will need to get in touch with your account-holding financial intermediary (bank, asset manager, stock market company or online broker).

What are the different ways in which shares may be held?

• Bearer shares: bearer securities accounts are held by a financial intermediary and holders are therefore not known to the issuing company.
• Registered shares: securities are recorded directly and solely in the accounts of the issuing company, enabling it to offer a personalized service.

What are the benefits of the registered option?

• Being exempt from custody fees and management costs;
• Being known to the LANSON-BCC's Shareholder Department;
• Systematically receiving information from the LANSON-BCC Group;
• Enjoying personalized contacts for the management of your securities.

How can you change shareholding options?
