SHAREHOLDER INFO :: BECOME A SHAREHOLDER


SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS

Being a shareholder means owning a part of the capital of a company, which thereby entitles you to benefit from fundamental and equal rights.

The right to receive a dividend
A dividend is the part of the net income that is distributed to the shareholders. The amount of the dividend is submitted by the Members of the Board to the Board of Directors, and voted by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting, after adoption of the annual consolidated accounts. The dividend is attached to a stock and paid within 9 months after the end of the fiscal year.

To receive a dividend, one must be the owner of a share the day before the payment date. The dividend is paid in euros directly to your bank account.

The right to attend and to vote during the Annual General Meeting
Any shareholder, independent of the number of shares held or the detention mode, has the right to attend the Annual General Assembly and to vote.

This special event is the opportunity to meet the company, to understand its activities, its strategy and its goals.

The right to take part in capital operations
In the event of a public issue to increase Company capital, and by the decision of the Annual General Meeting, shareholders are entitled to priority subscription treatment.  If there should be a capitalisation of reserves, the Company is entitled to issue new shares and allocate them free to shareholders.

The right to be informed
Eutelsat Communications guarantees to its shareholders the access to any information that could be of their interest: financial information or any other information related to events that could have substantial impact on the stock price.
