Shareholding Structure
* On April 4, 2006, Lagardère issued mandatory exchangeable bonds. The EADS shares deliverable at the maturity of the bonds will represent a maximum of 7.5% of the share capital of EADS. Lagardère already delivered 2.5% out of the 7.5% in June 2007. At the end of 2005 65.25% of the share capital of EADS were held in equal proportions by DaimlerChrysler and SOGEADE who jointly control EADS through a Dutch law contractual partnership (the “Contractual Partnership”). SEPI (a Spanish state holding company), being a party to the Contractual Partnership, held 5.47% of the share capital of EADS. The free float amounted respectively to 34.75%. Beginning of April 2006 DaimlerChrysler and Lagardère SCA, two of EADS' core shareholders, announced they entered into simultaneous transactions aimed at reducing by 7.5 percent each their respective stakes in EADS. EADS was consulted and views these steps to increase the free float of its capital as a very positive development for all shareholders. For the number of shares and voting rights held by members of the Board of Directors and Executive Committee, see “Ref. Doc. Compensation Granted to Directors and Principal Executive Officers”. Approximately 1.9% of the capital are held by EADS employees. Status: March 2008
