- The holdings of the original shareholder, the CEA were consolidated from 95.1% to 73,03% following these transactions and following the increase capital reserved to KIA and the French State (December 2010) and the issuance of prefered shares without voting right.
Since May 30, 2011 AREVA’s entire capital has been listed in the form of ordinary shares.
