ARE MY TOTALENERGIES

SHARES HELD IN A PEA

• If they are sold and the sale price remains

in the PEA, they are not taxed.

• If the shares are sold and/or the shares

or sale proceeds are withdrawn from the PEA,

the following tax consequences apply according

to the regulations:

- If it occurs within f ive years from the time

the PEA was opened, the PEA is closed

on the date of the withdrawal and the net

gain realized in the plan is taxed at the single

f lat rate of 12.8%, except if taxation under

the ordinary income tax regime - progressive

scale - is chosen, and is subject to social

contributions.
