Uptevia prepares and holds its clients’ ordinary, extraordinary, combined or special general meetings of shareholders. It is involved before, during and after the general meeting. The organisation of a successful general meeting is the result of close collaboration between the issuer and Uptevia.

Uptevia is France’s leading provider of securities services to corporate issuers, and a key player in the field of equities as well as conventional, convertible and structured debt (long-, medium- and short-term).

A large number of issuers have chosen Uptevia to help them process their payment obligations as defined in EMTN or NEU CP/MTN prospectuses, stand-alone issues or structured issues (securitisation).

The management of administered registered shares raises well-known difficulties for companies, their registrar and financial intermediaries. Uptevia is working with financial market players to streamline this management.

From show of hands, through voting boxes, to the use of touch screens, voting in general meetings has evolved significantly. A step that was taken by L’Oréal on April 23 during its general meeting.

Uptevia is proud to have supported the company’s arrival on the Euronext Paris market (Compartment A), with a market capitalisation of over €1.1 billion. This is the largest IPO since that of OVH in 2021.

Every spring, the Uptevia teams prepare for the annual general meeting season. 2024 will be no exception. Almost 95% of general meetings are held between April and June, requiring the involvement of more than 30 people, half of whom are recruited for the season.

On Tuesday 19 March, Euronext  held its 12th annual conference, the place to meet French and European financial market professionals. For the second year running, Uptevia is a partner of the event, an unmissable opportunity to meet representatives of listed companies, investors, private equity professionals, credit institutions and more.

Digitization has made data (customer, industrial, etc.) accessible and valuable to business development. This effect has not escaped the attention of fraudsters, who see it as a bargaining chip for ransom in a hacking operation. Private individuals, however, are not spared from increasingly common fraud attempts.

As part of the overhaul online portal available to its clients and their shareholders and employees, Uptevia invited several clients panels to a preliminary presentation of the new visuals and functionalities.

Uptevia is the victim of fraudulent use of its name and identification details in the context of email scams.
