REGISTERED SHARES AND A SHARE SAVINGS PLAN
If you hold your L’Oréal shares in a share savings plan (PEA) and you would like to benefit from the advantages of holding registered shares, in particular the loyalty bonus, while keeping the tax advantages offered by the PEA, you should choose to hold managed registered shares.
ADVANTAGES OF DIRECTLY REGISTERED SHARES
If you would also like to benefit from free management and custody fees, as well as preferential brokerage and bank fees, you should choose to hold directly registered shares. However this is only possible outside a share savings plan (PEA).
HOW CAN YOU FOLLOW YOUR REGISTERED SHARES?
The introduction of the preferential dividend has made it necessary to create specific ISIN codes. These codes make it possible to determine each year whether the shares concerned will give the right to an ordinary dividend or a preferential dividend.
