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 share savings plan (PEA) and wish to benefit from the advantages of registered shares, then managed registered shares are for you.

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 manage your shares.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO REGISTER OR TRANSFER MY SHARES TO REGISTERED FORM?

The time required varies between financial institutions. As a reminder, to benefit from the loyalty bonus from 2026, your shares must be converted to managed registered or directly registered by 31 December 2023.

To ensure you meet the deadline, we suggest you send your registration order by 15 December 2023 at the latest.

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.

L’Oréal will reimburse you any transfer costs for directly registered shares up to a maximum of €50. Simply send your request for reimbursement, together with proof of your transfer costs, and full bank details, to the following address:
