Shareholder structure December 31, 2011
* KIA stands for Kuwait Investment Authority and is the sovereign fund of the state of Kuwait.
The current shareholder structure is a derivation of the original structure and dates from AREVA’s foundation on September 3, 2001. Development has occurred as follows:
- Numerous shareholders (Total, EDF etc.) exchanged a number of minority holdings (primarily in COGEMA (now AREVA NC) and Framatome SA (now AREVA NP)) for shares in the new AREVA group.
- The holdings of the original shareholder, the CEA (Commissariat à l'Énergie Atomique et aux énergies alternatives) 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 in January 2011.
Since May 30, 2011 AREVA’s entire capital has been listed in the form of ordinary shares.

* Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank (CA CIB) entered into a liquidity guarantee with Framépargne by which it agreed to acquire, in the event of insufficient liquidity, AREVA shares held by Framépargne that the latter would have to sell to meet share repurchase requirements. Pursuant to this guarantee, CA CIB purchased some AREVA shares beginning in July 2002. The liquidity of the shares was then ensured by AREVA itself as provided by the law of December 30, 2006 and the implementing decree of October 2007, until the shares were traded on the NYSE Euronext Paris regulated market on May 30, 2011.
** It should be noted that, since the AREVA group’s establishment, ERAP held 3.21% of AREVA’s share capital and 3.21% of its voting rights. In 2009, ERAP transferred its AREVA shares to the French State.
*** Treasury shares held by AREVA are non-voting, as provided in Article L. 225-210 of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce).
**** The reason for the difference in the percentage of share capital and percentage of voting rights held by the CEA in AREVA is that the CEA owned all of the voting right certificates, which were recombined into common shares with the investment certificates in connection with the public exchange offer that closed on May 11, 2011
