Loyalty advantages

Registered Sodexo shareholders are entitled to:

  • double voting rights for registered shares held for at least four years;
  • a dividend premium of 10% for registered shares held for at least four years (the number of shares eligible for this dividend premium may not exceed 0.5% of the share capital for any single shareholder)
  • automatic invitation to Shareholders Meetings and personalized information on all financial transactions (capital increases, bond issues, etc.);
  • an exemption from administration costs (for directly-registered shares only).
Share Codes

Sodexo shares are traded under the ISIN code FR0000121220.

The code for registered shares already eligible for the dividend premium is FR0011532431.

Different share codes have been introduced for registered shares in order to reflect the period in which the shares were acquired and to determine eligibility for the dividend premium.

The use of different codes does not affect trading of the shares. When selling shares, it is advisable to sell the most recently acquired first in order to maintain the dividend premium and extra voting rights on the highest number of remaining shares.
