Please note before investing
Your investment tracks the Air Liquide share price performance
There is therefore a risk of loss of capital. However, the discount reduces the share purchase price compared with the market price and therefore has an amplifying effect in the event of an increase and a cushioning effect in the event of a decrease in the share price.
Note: if you are resident in a country located outside the Euro zone, there is an exchange rate risk. As Air Liquide is listed in euros on the Paris stock exchange, the value of your investment will vary according to exchange rate fluctuations between the euro and your currency across your investment period. Thus, if the euro appreciates against your currency, the value of the shares in your currency will increase. Conversely, if the euro depreciates against your currency, the value of the shares in your currency will decrease
Your investment is locked in for three years
However, early release clauses exist and details of these can be found in your country’s local supplement which can be obtained in the “Download documents” section of this website.
The foregoing is not a complete set of important risk factors. For a more extended discussion of these and other important risk factors, please see the “Risk Factors” section of the ESPP booklet sent to your home or email address. After the three-year lock-in period, you may keep your shares in the account opened in your name at Air Liquide or sell all or some of them whenever you wish, without paying any transaction fees.
