Since 22 June 2013, the Board of Directors no longer has the authority to grant stock options to purchase or subscribe to shares.
On 31 December 2025, no subscription options had been granted or exercised as the most recent L’Oréal stock option plan expired in 2021 (see section 7.4.2.). Furthermore, 2,712,376 conditional shares had been granted to Group employees subject to performance conditions not yet met.
These shares will be issued when necessary and, where applicable, through the capitalisation of reserves. Accordingly, the Company’s potential share capital would amount to €107,299,080.80, divided into 536,495,404 shares with a par value of €0.20.
The Company has not issued any securities that grant indirect access to the share capital.
