SHAREHOLDER EVENTS Participate in General Meetings Facebook Twitter LinkedIn The general meeting held at least once a year is a key event for Sanofi. It is an excellent opportunity to present and explain the annual results and the business activities’ evolution to the company’s shareholders. Every shareholder who wants to take part in the decision-making process of his/her company can attend the meetings and vote personally. Every shareholder has one vote per share. Double voting rights are granted to shares held in registered form for at least two years. Prior conditions for participating in the meeting To attend in person, appoint a proxy, exercise a postal vote or vote via the Internet, you must first have provided proof of your status as a shareholder. Proof is constituted by your shares being recorded in your name as of midnight (Paris time) on the second business day preceding the general meeting: in the registered shareholder account held on the Company’s behalf by BNP Paribas Securities Services; in the bearer shareholder account held by the accredited financial intermediary who keeps your share account (bank, brokerage firm, online broker). For holders of bearer shares, it is the authorized intermediary who holds the bearer accounts who shall confirm the status of its client as shareholder to the centralizing bank of the General Meeting by providing a shareholding certificate (attestation de participation) attached to the voting form enabling to vote by post or by proxy or to request an entry card established in the name of the shareholder or on behalf of the shareholder represented by the financial intermediary.
