Dividend payment on Stock Certificates (CRs)<br />
TOTAL has issued Stock Certificates (Certificats Représentatifs d’Actions, herein after “CRs”) within the framework of the public exchange<br />
offering for PetroFina shares. The CR is a stock certificate provided for by French Law, issued by EUROCLEAR France, intended to<br />
circulate exclusively outside France, and which may not be held by residents of France. The CR is issued as a physical certificate that is<br />
registered in a custody account, and has the characteristics of a bearer security. The CR may be freely convertible from a physical<br />
certificate to a registered custody account and vice versa. New CRs have been issued after TOTAL’s four-for-one stock split. ING Belgique<br />
is the paying bank for any coupons detached from physical CRs in circulation.<br />
There is no charge for the payment of detached coupons from CRs, unless there are in<strong>com</strong>e or withholding taxes; payment may be<br />
received at teller windows of the following institutions:<br />
ING Belgique Avenue Marnix 24, 1000 Brussels, Belgium<br />
FORTIS BANQUE S.A. Montagne du Parc 3, 1000 Brussels, Belgium<br />
KBC BANK N.V. Avenue du Port 2, 1080 Brussels, Belgium<br />
