Your shares are registered on a securities account under your name, in three possible forms:

  • As “administered registered shares”: the account is also managed by your financial intermediary, but what’s more, the shares are registered in the books of the issuing company, who can thus send you information on a regular basis as well as your entry card to the Annual General Meeting.
