Since 22 June 2013, the Board of Directors no longer has authority to grant stock options to purchase or subscribe to shares.

On 31 December 2023, no subscription options had been granted or exercised as the most recent L’Oréal stock options plan expired in 2021 (see subsection  7.4.2.). Furthermore, 2,594,170 conditional shares had been granted to Group employees subject to performance conditions, not yet met.

These 2,594,170 shares will be created when necessary and, where applicable, by the capitalisation of reserves. Accordingly, the potential share capital of the Company would amount to €106,945,095.00, divided into 534,725,475 shares with a par value of €0.20.

The Company has not issued any securities that grant indirect access to the share capital.
