The provisional schedule of events is available on our website, in our annual report, and in the Shareholder Newsletter. It is also included in most of the schedules and diaries published in the economic and financial press.

• For pure registered shareholders: The SEB Securities Department will send you a convening notice.
• For bearer shareholders: ask the manager of your SEB shares for a certificate of participation. This certificate may be sent to the SEB Securities Department to obtain an admission card or an absentee ballot or it may be presented on the day of the Meeting.

No. Groupe SEB’s dividend policy is informed by a long-term approach and will not be modified owing to the implementation of this bonus.

SEB shares were first listed on the Paris Stock Exchange in May 1975.

Groupe SEB has been a pioneer in France by putting in place a special relationship with its registered shareholders - loyalty premium on dividends for shares held for more than two years, double voting rights after five years, preferential prices on a range of Group products etc. So far, we haven't found it necessary to create a shareholders' club, because the "circle" of registered shareholders works just like a club anyway.

Every now and then, we organise plant visits for our shareholders and this is an effective way of allowing them to gain a better understanding of the Group’s industrial challenges. These visits are generally well attended and much appreciated.

We also participate on average four times a year in information meetings held in various French towns, alongside other large companies. During these meetings, we present the strategy, results prospects and objectives of the Group. There is also plenty of time allocated for a debate with the audience, which often leads to discussions that are lively and very enriching, both for the general public and for the companies that are present.

This is not a “pay-out ratio” policy - the Group has not decided to allocate a set percentage of its profits to shareholders.
The Group has a policy of regular payments to shareholders as part of a long-term perspective:

• A reasonable increase in dividends when results allow
• Stabilisation of the dividend where circumstances make it necessary

SEB shares held on 31 December are evaluated either at the last quoted price of the year, or at the average of the last 30 closing prices of the year. Thus, for the 2015 financial year, the average of the last 30 closing prices on the Stock Exchange, which is more advantageous from a tax point of view, could be used:

• Last price quoted in 2015: €94.60;
• Average of the last 30 closing prices of 2015: €93.653

At present, we have 6 global brands or brands that are intended to be global: All-Clad, Krups, Lagostina, Moulinex, Rowenta and Tefal. These brands are the spearhead of our international approach. At the same time, we have brands with a national/regional dimension, which are leaders in their markets and have a very strong image. These brands ensure our leading position in many countries. The addition of these local leaderships makes up the foundation of our global leadership.

Moreover, in the highly segmented market for small domestic equipment, this portfolio of unique brands constitutes a major competitive advantage because it allows us to cover all the market segments, from entry-level to high-end products. We have a clear policy of capitalizing on this crucial strategic advantage. We will no doubt need to carry out some adjustments here and there in order to optimise our approach still further, but we do not envisage any significant structural changes.

The only member of the founding family to be involved in the management of the Group today is the Chairman, Thierry de La Tour d’Artaise.

Groupe SEB announced December 23rd, 2015, that it has signed an agreement with Supor Group, the holding company of the Su family, to buy 50 million shares or 7.9% of the capital of Supor at the price of CNY 29 per share. This  transaction follows the purchase of 10 million shares that was completed during the first half of 2015. This agreement has been finalized mid-2016, after approval of the Chinese authorities.

After the operation, Groupe SEB is holding 81.17% of its Chinese subsidiary and the founding family 0.80%, the remaining stake, ie 18.03 %, representing the free float. As of December 31, 2025, Groupe SEB now holds 83.2% of the company's shares.
 

CAC Mid 60, SBF 120, CAC Mid & Small, CAC All-Tradable, MSCI Small Caps as well as Euronext CDP Environment and Euronext Family Business

Float represents 43.8% of the capital of SEB S.A at 31/12/2025.

Groupe SEB has always financed its own growth and the acquisitions it has made until now through debt, always making sure that it maintains its financial equilibrium. However, in the global market for small domestic equipment which will continue to consolidate, a listing on the stock exchange provides us with a wider scope of financing sources in case of acquisition, for example by using the market to make it easier to exchange shares etc.

Our policy aims at fair remuneration of shareholders and consists in increasing reasonably dividend when results allow it and stabilising dividend when circumstances demand it. In certain specific cases, such as in 2016, which was a year defined by exceptional results, the increase can be extended to reward an "outstanding” performance. In the past we have also granted free shares on a very ad hoc basis.
