Orange shareholding

 

Being an Orange shareholder means getting involved in the life of our company, contributing to our major strategic decisions and supporting our development.

Being an Orange shareholder means being a stakeholder in our purpose, which guides our decisions in terms of our social contribution and environmental protection: “As a trusted partner, Orange gives everyone the keys to a responsible digital world.”

This means helping us:
  • Ensure that, in all our fields of activity, digital technology is designed, made available and used in a responsible and sustainable way;
  • Strengthen the freedom and security of digital tools and services used by individuals and businesses;
  • Deploy innovative technologies and services everywhere and for everyone, thanks to our Group’s committed and expert teams.

Finally, being an Orange shareholder means making an investment into our future profitability and benefiting from two fundamental rights: the right to vote at our annual Shareholders’ Meeting and the right to receive a dividend that corresponds to profits distributed by the company.

 

As an Orange shareholder, there are three different ways to hold your shares.

  • Bearer shares

    Shares are kept in an ordinary securities account or a Shareholders’ Savings Account opened with your chosen financial intermediary. Find out how to take part in the Shareholders’ Meeting

  • Administered registered shares

    Your Orange shares held via your financial intermediary may be managed as administered registered shares. In this case, your securities are managed with our mandated bank BNP Paribas Securities Services Uptevia and your point of contact remains your financial intermediary. Being an administered registered shareholder enables us to identify you and automatically send you invitations to our Orange Annual Shareholders’ Meetings. Holding and transaction fees are to be agreed with your financial intermediary.

  • Direct registered shares 

    Direct registered shares are held on your behalf by a financial institution chosen by Orange, in this case BNP Paribas Securities Services Uptevia, which directly manages the shares.

    By choosing direct registered shares, you can benefit from several advantages:

    a personalized service: for viewing and managing your direct registered share online account, updating your personal data, and placing and tracking your trading orders online with preferential transaction fees

    a closer relationship with the company: you will systematically receive information from the Group, and personal notice to the Shareholders’ Meetings (by post or by e-invitation if you have chosen this option) 

    no holding fees: as long as you keep your direct registered shares 

    a dedicated helpline: available to you from Monday to Friday, from 9.00 am to 6.00 pm (CET) by calling 0 800 05 10 10 from abroad  

 

 

 
 

If you are an Orange shareholder with, for instance, bearer shares, you can contact your financial intermediary and request for the conversion of you shares into direct registered shares (only for France) by filling a dedicated
share conversion formOpen this document with ReadSpeaker docReader.

 
Then all you need to do is get your financial intermediary to forward the form to BNP Paribas Securities Services Uptevia.
To open a direct registered share account, please contact the Orange Shareholder Relations team by calling 0 800 05 10 10 from abroad, Monday to Friday from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm (CET).

Shareholders’ Meetings

 

It is a privileged appointment where shareholders are able to meet our Executive Directors and vote on the resolutions that are submitted to them.
Three kinds of Shareholders’ Meeting exist:

  • Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting: this is held once a year, in the six months following the financial year closing. It allows the shareholders to approve the accounts of the past year, and, if any, the amount of the dividend proposed by the Board of directors. The Shareholders can also vote on the appointment of new administrators and on the current events of the Group.
  • Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting: this is held when necessary, to deal with decisions such as changes to the company’s bylaws or capital.
  • Combined Shareholders’ Meeting: this is held when both legal types of Meetings (ordinary and extraordinary) are held at the same moment.

The company is legally required to inform shareholders of the date of the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting at least 35 days before it takes place, by publishing advance notification in the French official bulletin of legal notices, the Bulletin des Annonces Légales Obligatoires (BALO).

This notice shall include the resolutions which will be put to a shareholder vote and information on how to take part in the Meeting.

A notice which sets out the agenda is sent to registered shareholders at least 15 days before the date of the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting, and is published at the same time in the BALO and in a French national newspaper.

Shareholders can also obtain documentation relating to the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting on request to the company, or by visiting the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting page or the Orange website

All shareholders, regardless of the number of shares they hold, have the right to participate in the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting.

The Orange 2023 Shareholders’ Meeting will be held online and on site, with shareholders if they would like to attend, at salle Pleyel, 252 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, 75008 Paris, on 23 May 2023 at 4:00 pm.

This meeting will also be broadcast live via the Orange website.

To attend the Orange Shareholders’ Meeting in person, the shareholder must request an admission card:

  • By logging into their securities account to request an admission card online (bearer and registered shareholders)
  • Or by returning to BNP Paribas Securities Services - Uptevia the admission card request form received by post if they are a registered shareholder and have not subscribed to the e-notice service

All shareholders who hold at least one Orange share no later than 2 trading days of stock exchange prior to the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting are entitled to vote. By voting, you are contributing to the important decisions of the Group.

Three types of vote are possible:

  • In person on the day of the Shareholders’ Meeting if you are attending with an admission card.
  • Online

Orange offers a secure e-voting platform, VOTACCESS, which can be reached from your online account from Wednesday 27 April 2022 up until the day before the Shareholders’ Meeting at 3:00 pm (CET).

Find out more about e-voting
  • By post

Shareholders can also return their ballot paper to BNP Paribas Securities Services - Uptevia, Orange’s central clearing bank, once they have:
- voted on the resolutions
- granted powers to the Chairman
- granted proxy to another person

 

For registered shares: all you need to do is return your personalized ballot paper to BNP Paribas Securities Services- Uptevia in the envelope provided with the meeting invitation.


For bearer shares: you can request your ballot paper from your financial intermediary and return it to them once completed. Your financial intermediary is responsible for sending this ballot paper to BNP Paribas Securities Services enclosing a certificate of participation.

Shareholders must return their ballot no later than the day before the Meeting at 3:00 pm (working day) with the certificate of participation.


Find out more about the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting.

For each resolution a vote “for”, “against” or “abstain” can be cast, or no vote.

From 2020 “abstention” votes are no longer counted as “against” votes and are excluded from the calculation of the voting result. From now on, only the votes "for" and the votes "against" are taken into account.

Reminder:

A resolution within the Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting is approved as soon as it wins more than half of “for” votes.

A resolution within the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting is approved as soon as it wins more than two thirds of “for” votes.

Written questions

Shareholders can send their written questions no later than two working days before the Shareholders’ Meeting. The certificate of participation (provided by the financial intermediary) must be attached to the letter or email for holders of bearer shares.

You have two possibilities when sending your questions:
