One share opens the LVMH houses. Europe's closest match to Japanese yutai.
LVMH (about $213B), Europe's largest luxury group, has run a Club des actionnaires since 1994. It is free, it starts at one Paris-listed share, and it pays in what the group does best: access to its workshops, cellars and galleries, and better prices on its own wines and spirits. It is a loyalty program for owners, built on experiences rather than discounts.

Membership, visits, offers and information.
The club's stated aim is to help individual holders know the group, its businesses and its brands. In practice it combines four things.
| Element | What members receive |
|---|---|
| Membership | Free for holders of at least one LVMH share listed on Euronext Paris. Online registration gives access to a member area and a personal card valid for two years. |
| Visits | Private guided visits, in person and online, including the Louis Vuitton workshops in Asnières, 30 Montaigne, Galerie Dior, La Samaritaine, Chaumet and Guerlain. Free-access visits by booking at Hennessy, Veuve Clicquot, Ruinart, Moët & Chandon and Mercier. |
| Private events | Dated events for members, for example Officine Universelle Buly (4 November 2026), Chaumet at 12 Vendôme (16 November 2026) and Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche (18 January 2027). |
| Offers | Preferential prices on a selection of group wines and spirits, fast-track and premium Fondation Louis Vuitton tickets, and reduced subscriptions to Les Echos, Investir, Le Parisien and Connaissance des Arts. |
| Information | The annual report, the letter to holders and the annual magazine Apartés. |

The benefit is access no shop can sell.
A workshop visit or a private evening in a Paris house costs the group little and carries the brand further than a discount. It is the "scarce experience" that the strongest Japanese programs add on top of everyday perks.
- 01Experiences over discountsThe core of the club is access: workshops, cellars, galleries and private events, rather than money off the group's fashion and leather goods.
- 02Own product where it fitsPrice offers concentrate on wines and spirits, where the group can be generous without touching its luxury pricing.
- 03Low entry, real recognitionOne share opens the door, and membership is renewed every two years, which keeps the list of members current.
- 04Limits of the modelMost visits are in France and the club covers Paris-listed shares, so holders in other countries and on other venues are hard to reach.
A luxury group proves holder benefits fit the largest companies.
Not a small-cap tactic
A company of about $213B treats its individual holders as a community worth a club, as a third of Japan's 100 largest companies do.
Brand-safe benefits
Access and experiences reward holders without discounting the products that define the brand.
Not every French model is a perk
L'Oréal (about $261B) rewards time held with a 10% higher dividend on registered shares. That is a cash return, outside the scope of holder benefits. Source
Bounded by geography
Events in France and a Paris listing limit who can take part. Holders elsewhere rarely see the club at all.
Checked through the register
Membership runs through the group's own registration. Holders on other venues, or holding tokenized exposure, sit outside it.
The same club, every venue
Yutai lets listed companies recognise and reward verified holders wherever their shares are held, so a club like this can reach holders on any exchange, broker or wallet.

Holder benefit programs are voluntary marketing programs set by issuers or venues. They are not shareholder rights, carry no cash value, and are not dividends or investment returns. Their legal and tax treatment differs by country and by holder. Issuers and venues should take their own legal and tax advice before launching or promoting a program, and holders should check how benefits are taxed where they live.
Market caps are approximate, from the latest close available to Yutai, converted at €1 = $1.12 (4 November 2026) and rounded.

LVMH shows what owners value. Yutai lets any listed company recognise its verified holders, wherever their shares live.
