HOW TO I TAKE PART IN THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING?

 Thierry de La Tour d’Artaise, Chairman and CEO, is pleased to invite you to the Combined General Shareholders’ Meeting of SEB S.A., which is to take place on Thursday, 15 May 2014 at 2:30pm at Palais Brongniart (Grand Auditorium), Place de la Bourse, 75002 Paris.

The Annual General Meeting is the ideal opportunity for discussion and exchange of information, which is why I hope that many of you will attend. It is important for you to be able to express your views by attending the meeting personally, by voting by post, or by giving your proxy either to the Chairman of the meeting or to a person of your choice.

If you wish to take part in the Annual General Meeting personally:

  • You can request an admission card by filling in box “A” on the voting form and returning it, signed and dated*.

or

  • If you are a registered shareholder, on 15 May 2014 you can report, with identification, to the counter provided for this purpose.

If you are unable to take part in the Annual General Meeting personally:

  • You can vote by post by returning the signed and dated voting form* and with the “I will vote by post” box filled in and your voting choice indicated as explained on the form.
  • You can give your proxy to the Chairman by returning the signed and dated voting form* and with the “I give proxy to the Chairman of the Annual General Meeting” box filled in.
  • You can give your proxy to your spouse, your partner, another shareholder or any other person of your choice , after verifying that your proxy has not given proxy to a third party:
    • by returning the signed and dated voting form* with the “I appoint a proxy” box filled in, and the identity of your proxy completed as well as his or her address.
    • or
    • by opting to appoint your proxy electronically. In this case, two steps must be completed before 3:00pm local time on 14 May 2014:
      • you must send an email to the following address: paris.bp2s.france.cts.mandats@bnpparibas.com , indicating your name and surname, address and share account number, as well as the name and surname and, if possible, address of your proxy,
      • if your shares are:
        • directly registered: : you must confirm this request on PlanetShares, by going to the “Annual General Meetings” page within the “shareholder area” and clicking on “to grant or revoke a mandate”,
        • registered but externally administered: you must ask your bank to send confirmation in writing to the Annual General Meetings department of: BNP Paribas Securities Services // CTS Assemblées générales // Les Grands Moulins de Pantin // 9, rue du Débarcadère // 93761 Pantin Cedex which must receive it no later than three days before the Annual General Meeting.

Holders of bearer shares must request the relevant certificate (confirming that the shares are lodged and not in circulation) from the bank responsible for managing their SEB securities.

* In order to be effective , all voting forms must be received by BNP Paribas Securities Services’ Annual General Meetings department no later than 12 May 2014.
