(***) Treasury shares held by VINCI SA.

To the best of the Company’s knowledge, at the end of December 2022, there was no individual or legal entity, whether acting alone, jointly or in concert, which directly or indirectly had control over VINCI’s share capital, and there was no shareholder acting alone or in concert which directly or indirectly held more than 5% of the capital or voting rights other than those mentioned in the table above, TCI Fund Management Limited, and BlackRock, Inc. (see “Crossing of shareholding thresholds” below).

Employee shareholders

Details of the Group savings plan are given in paragraph 1.3.3 of chapter E, “Workforce-related, social and environmental information”, page 202, and in Notes I.23 and K.30.2 to the consolidated financial statements, pages 340 and 364.

At 31 December 2022, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, under the meaning of Article L.225-102 of the French Commercial Code, the number of shares in the Company held directly or indirectly by employees of the Company or related entities under the Group savings plan was 61,775,862. These shares represent 10.5% of the Company’s share capital and encompass 58,611,109 shares held through company mutual funds, 786,705 shares held in registered form by salaried company officers and 2,378,048 shares held in registered form by non-executive employees.

At 31 December 2022, 5,254,511 performance shares were held in registered form by employees.

Rights attached to all shares

The rights attached to shares are those defined by laws and regulations and include:

  • the right to vote at meetings;
  • the right to receive dividends;
  • the right to be kept informed about the company and its results;
  • the preferential right to subscribe for share issues to be paid for in cash and for issues of securities giving access to the share capital;
  • the right to a share of the business assets and liquidation surplus.

There are no double voting rights or different voting rights. The difference between the breakdown of shareholdings and exercisable voting rights at a Shareholders’ General Meeting is due to the absence of voting rights attached to treasury shares.
