Disadvantages
Bouygues shares must be in bearer form before they can be sold. Registered shares must therefore be converted into bearer shares before sale.

Can Bouygues shares held in a PEA (equity savings plan) be converted to pure registered form?

Managing pure registered share accounts within a PEA is complex, burdensome and costly for both Bouygues as depositary of the shares and the financial intermediaries that hold the PEA securities and cash accounts. Consequently, it is Bouygues' policy not to open such accounts.
Shareholders wishing to register their Bouygues shares already held in a PEA must choose the administered registered form.
