BECAUSE THEIR TRUST IS ESSENTIAL TO ITS STRATEGY AND
LONG-TERM DEVELOPMENT, LVMH PAYS PARTICULAR ATTENTION
TO ITS RELATIONS WITH SHAREHOLDERS AND CONTINUALLY
STRIVES TO MEET THEIR NEEDS.
Club members can learn more about the Group,
its activities and its brands and take advantage
of special offers on certain products distributed
in France.
The Club issues a personalized card to its mem-
bers bearing an authentication number which is
valid for two years.
Members can access a dedicated telephone service
that provides help with membership procedures
and follow-up on special product offers.
Club members also receive a magazine, Apartés,
which LVMH publishes in French. This revue
provides news about the Group, articles on recent
events, and interviews. It also lets shareholders
order LVMH products deliverable in France
including some designed exclusively for the Club,
like reserve vintages. There are discount
subscription offers to La Tribune, Investir,
Connaissance des Artsand Le Monde de la Musique.
The Club also provides special access to certain
places suitable for visits like wineries and wine
cellars and VIP passes to art exhibits funded
by LVMH as part of its corporate sponsorship
program. The “Matisse-Picasso” exhibit shown
at the Grand Palais last autumn was an immense
success with our shareholders.

REGULAR AND THOROUGH REPORTING
LVM H uses a variety of communication means
in order to provide its investors with regular, clear
and transparent reporting. The annual report
is available to anyone on request. Both the
abbreviated annual report, published in March,
and the six-month interim report presenting
the June 30th results are widely circulated as soon
as the results are announced.
For those shareholders who want
to find LVMH on the web, its new
website, www.lvmh.com, provides
quicker access to information while
evoking an innovative and creative
luxury image. The medium offers
the advantage of immediate updates
on a regular basis. It is ideal for
obtaining news about the Group
and its brands at any time. With
more than 430,000 hits each month,
the site continues to become incras-
ingly popular. The section devoted to
shareholders is easier to use than
before. It targets the financial
community by providing complete
and clear information in real time.
There are always titles such as the
current stock price, schedules of
important upcoming events (earn-
ings announcements, shareholders’
meetings, dividend payments), news
releases and publications. Earnings
announcements and annual shareholders meet-
ings are systematically rebroadcast over the inter-
net, both live and recorded.
LVM H also organizes meetings in France for
shareholders, financial advisors and asset managers.
THE FRENCH SHAREHOLDERS’ CLUB –
AN EFFORT TO FORM CLOSER TIES
LVM H has also formed the Shareholders’ Club
especially for its individual French speaking
shareholders who are particularly interested
in getting better acquainted with the Group.
