Choose - How to buy shares and choose your ownership method?

In France, individuals can hold shares, i.e., stakes in a publicly traded company, in two main ways:

 

Through a financial intermediary (such as your bank or an online broker), which acts as a link between you and the financial markets. This is the most common method, allowing you to consolidate all your shares (ATOS Group and other companies) into a single account.

Directly with Société Générale Securities Services, which maintains the register of registered shareholders on behalf of ATOS Group. In practical terms, Société Générale holds your shares in your name, manages them, and provides you with a direct relationship with ATOS Group (notices, information).

These two approaches are available in different forms of ownership:

 

  • Bearer shares: your shares are held by your bank, and ATOS Group does not know your identity.
  • Administered registered shares: your shares remain with your bank, but your name appears in the ATOS Group register.
  • Pure registered shares: your shares are registered directly with ATOS Group via Société Générale, without an intermediary. 

Each of these three types of share ownership has specific characteristics, which are listed in this table:
