Become a shareholder

• Bearer: 

Your shares are registered in a securities account with the financial intermediary of your choice, the only party to know your identity.

• Indirected registered:

Your shares are registered with ENGIE, which allows you to receive information from the Group directly, but your securities account is kept and managed by your financial intermediary, which remains your point of contact.

• Pure registered:

Your shares are kept directly by the bank appointed by the Group. ENGIE has delegated management of its administered accounts to Société Générale Securities Services.

Characteristics of the different ways shares are held

ENGIE offers a bonus dividend of 10% for shares registered for at least two years; to find out more, click here

How do I get the bonus dividend?

All shareholders who hold registered (pure or indirected) ENGIE shares continuously for at least 2 financial years can receive a bonus dividend of 10%.

Any share registered before 31/12/2021 will therefore benefit in 2024 from the bonus dividend to be distributed for 2023.

See below for how to register your shares.

If you hold bearer shares and wish to benefit from the advantages of holding registered shares, all you need to do is transfer your shares to indirected registered shares. Send a written request to your financial intermediary who will take the necessary steps.  
ENGIE provides a transfer form that you can fill in and return to your bank:

Please note: depending on the financial institution, registration may take several weeks and there may be a cost involved.

Pour se constituer un capital diversifié en actions sur le long terme et pour profiter d’une fiscalité avantageuse (le PEA est un produit d’épargne réglementé ouvert aux personnes domiciliées fiscalement en France).

Le Plan d’Epargne en actions offre une fiscalité allégée au terme de 5 années de détention. Il est donc intéressant de prendre date pour ouvrir un PEA, car c’est la date du 1er versement effectué lors de l’ouverture du plan qui vaut pour l’exonération des plus-values, et non celle des versements ultérieurs.

Le régime fiscal est le suivant :

• de 0 à 5 ans de détention : vos plus-values seront taxées au Prélèvement Forfaitaire Unique (PFU) au taux de 12,8 % auquel il faut rajouter le taux de prélèvements sociaux applicables au moment où les gains ont été réalisés (17,2 % depuis janvier 2018), soit 30 %.
• Après 5 ans, vos gains seront totalement exonérés d'imposition mais resteront cependant soumis aux Prélèvement Sociaux (17,2%).

You should indicate the type of purchase order chosen from the two offered :

• The “best limit order”: executed at the best price on offer when it arrives on the market. In the event of partial execution, the fraction of "best limit" order becomes a limit order during first execution.  
• The “limit order”: executed at the limit price set by the principal or, where appropriate, at the first lower price offered.  

If the type of order is not indicated, orders will be transmitted to the market "at the best limit". 

Registered shares are taxed in the same way as bearer shares.

Holding shares can generate two types of earnings:

• Dividends: share of the profit distributed to shareholders according to the company's results;
• Capital gains: gains obtained on the sale of shares, corresponding to the difference between the transfer price and the purchase price.

Dividends and capital gains are both subject to the taxation described below.

Attention

The information below relating to the tax treatment of dividends and capital gains on the sale of securities corresponds to the tax system in force at the time of publication. These provisions are of a general nature, are provided for information purposes only on the date of publication, and are subject to change at any time in the context of regulatory changes. Any new tax measure may have an impact provided that you are subject to the tax rules detailed in this communication. Shareholders are advised to contact the tax authorities or to consult their usual advisor for any additional information specific to their situation.

Taxation of dividends 

Dividends received from 1 January 2018 are subject to the Prélèvement Forfaitaire Unique (PFU - withholding tax), also known as "flat tax", of 30%. However, it will be possible to opt for the income tax scale and thus keep the 40% allowance in force to date.
Important: if your reference taxable income does not exceed €50,000 for a single person or €75,000 for a couple subject to joint taxation, you may be exempt from the withholding tax of 12.8%. To benefit from this, you need to submit your dispensation request to your financial establishment no later than 30 November of the year preceding the payment of the dividend. 

Taxation of capital gains within a securities account

In the same way as for dividends, capital gains on transfers of shares are subject to PFU of 30%. 
However, you can opt for the income tax scale and benefit from allowances for holding shares acquired before 1 January 2018; as a reminder, there is an allowance for holding duration set at 50% for shares held for between 2 and 8 years and at 65% for longer than 8 years. 
You will therefore need to do your calculations although the flat tax proves, in most cases, to be more favourable.

Good to know:  the 2018 finance law now provides for the allocation of depreciations to capital gains in the same year; the taxpayer can therefore no longer decide to allocate his depreciations for the current year and defer them, as he could before, to one of the following 10 years.

Important: the taxation method (PFU or income tax) initially chosen for the dividends or capital gains will apply to all portfolio capital revenue. You will not be able to choose, for example, the Prélèvement Forfaitaire Unique (withholding tax) for taxation of dividends and income tax for taxation of capital gains.
