CORPORATE AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT REPORT 2007<br />
Being attentive to shareholders<br />
A listed company since 1975, <strong>Groupe</strong> <strong>SEB</strong> strives to cultivate<br />
and build up <strong>the</strong> loyalty of its shareholder base while<br />
pursuing an active policy of dialogue and information aimed<br />
at existing and potential shareholders.<br />
GROUPE <strong>SEB</strong> PLEASED TO MEET YOU<br />
Direct contact being <strong>the</strong> best way to ensure a good understanding<br />
of <strong>the</strong> company’s day-to-day operations, we try to engage in<br />
regular dialogue with our shareholders – beyond <strong>the</strong> customary<br />
Annual General Meeting. In 2007, for example, meetings in France<br />
were arranged in Lyons, Lille, Marseilles and Nantes for a total<br />
of 1,200 shareholders. To give a better picture of <strong>the</strong> Group’s<br />
industrial context, we also organized a factory visit for some<br />
30 members of an investor club to our Mayenne plant which manufactures<br />
food and beverage preparation equipment. In parallel, we<br />
maintain close links with financial analysts (including some 20<br />
regulars) who follow <strong>the</strong> progress of <strong>the</strong> <strong>SEB</strong> share. In this way we<br />
help <strong>the</strong>m to better understand <strong>the</strong> Group and its trading context<br />
and ensure that <strong>the</strong>y are fully informed. We also maintain direct<br />
and regular contact with institutional investors (over 200 contacts<br />
during 2007).<br />
