French registered securities
French registered securities are divided into two different types:
- “Valeurs Essentiellement Nominatives” (VEN) or essentially registered securities: These securities exist / can be traded under the registered form only.
- “Valeurs Occasionnellement Nominatives” (VON) or securities registered occasionally: These securities are commonly issued in bearer form but can be converted to registered form. Trading only takes place for the securities in bearer form. VON once registered can not be settled. Some VON are subject to LBS program
Loyalty bonus shares ("Primes de fidélité")
