Frequently Asked Questions

Advantages

As you are known by name, you receive shareholder information and notices of meeting directly from Ingenico Group. You are also entitled to attend shareholders’ meetings with no special formalities required. If you hold your shares in pure registered form, you pay no custody fees or any other expenses. Your dividends are paid directly by Ingenico Group.

Disadvantages

Ingenico Group shares can be sold only in bearer form. This means that if you want to sell your registered shares, whoever administers your account must first convert them to bearer form.

To convert your Ingenico Group shares to pure registered form, you should apply in writing to the financial intermediary managing your securities account, requesting that your shares be transferred to CACEIS Corporate Trust, member No. 23 of Euroclear France, and registered “en nominatif pur Nature De Compte 09.” Once it receives your shares, CACEIS Corporate Trust will send you a notification of registration and an account activation form.

For further information, please write to CACEIS Corporate Trust at ct-contact@caceis.com  

Shareholders wishing to register Ingenico Group shares already held in a PEA must opt for the administered registered form.

Ingenico has made it a general rule not to have any involvement in trades on behalf of its shareholders. Shareholders wishing to buy or sell Ingenico Group shares should therefore apply to CACEIS Corporate Trust.

The procedure for transferring shares is described in the response to question 2

• At least 35 days before the meeting date, a preliminary announcement is published in the BALO (the French gazette containing mandatory legal notices) and in an economic or financial newspaper. The announcement includes the meeting agenda and the resolutions to be submitted for approval. At that stage, neither the agenda nor the resolutions have been finalized.
• At least 15 days before the meeting date, notice of the meeting is published in the BALO and mailed to all shareholders holding shares in registered form. The notice folder indicates the date, time and place, the rules governing attendance and participation, and contains the agenda, the draft resolutions to be submitted for approval, and the forms for voting by post or by proxy.

To facilitate admission to shareholders’ meetings, we advise you to bring along an admission card.

• If you hold registered shares, you can obtain it from CACEIS Corporate Trust at Service Actionnaires d’Ingenico – CACEIS Corporate Trust – Service Assemblées Générales Centralisées – 14, rue Rouget de Lisle – 92862 Issy-les-Moulineaux Cedex 9, France, after filling out and returning the form included in the folder.
• If you hold bearer shares, simply apply to the financial intermediary managing your securities account, who will issue a certificate of participation (“attestation de participation”) providing evidence of your status as a shareholder and send it to CACEIS Corporate Trust along with your request for an admission card. The card will be sent to you by CACEIS Corporate Trust.

If you have not received your admission card by the meeting date, you are still entitled to attend and vote at the shareholders’ meeting under the following conditions: 

• You can provide proof of your identity at the registration desk if you hold registered shares;
• You can provide proof of your identity, as well as the certificate of participation issued by your financial intermediary, if you hold bearer shares.

If you are unable to attend a shareholders’ meeting, you have three options for voting, as shown on the form included in the notice folder:

• Vote by post: tick the box “I vote by post”; you may also tick the boxes for any resolutions you do not approve of.
• Give proxy to the Chairman of the Meeting: all you have to do as a shareholder is to sign and date the form at the bottom, without otherwise filling it out. In this case, the Chairman will vote in favor of all the resolutions already submitted and approved by the Board of Directors, and against any resolutions submitted that are not approved by the Board of Directors.
• Give proxy to your spouse or to another Ingenico shareholder. In this case, tick the relevant box, then fill in the name or business name of your proxy.

Whichever option you choose, you must send the appropriate documents at least 5 days prior to the date of the meeting to Service Actionnaires d’Ingenico Group – CACEIS Corporate Trust – Service Assemblées Générales Centralisées – 14, rue Rouget de Lisle – 92862 Issy-les-Moulineaux Cedex 9, France.

• If you hold registered shares, send the form.
• If you hold bearer shares, send the form and the certificate of participation issued by your financial intermediary.
