GAUMONT
GAUMONT is a French société anonyme (public limited company) registered under SIREN 562018002, with its head-office establishment (SIRET 562 018 002 00013) at 30 avenue Charles de Gaulle, 92200 Neuilly-sur-Seine. French commercial-registry records show the current legal entity immatriculated since 8 February 1956, with an active status, and its principal activity classified under NAF/APE code 5911C, film production for cinema. Reported share capital is EUR 24,959,384.
The Gaumont business traces its origins to a film company founded by Léon Gaumont on 6 June 1895 in Paris, widely cited as the oldest continuously operating film company in the world. GAUMONT produces, co-produces and distributes theatrical motion pictures and television programmes, releasing a regular slate of French theatrical films each year and producing television series such as Netflix’s “Lupin.” The company operates internationally through subsidiaries in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and Italy.
GAUMONT’s shares are admitted to trading on Euronext Paris under ticker GAM (ISIN FR0000034894). Following an October 2025 determination by the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) that market liquidity in GAUMONT shares was insufficient, the company’s controlling shareholder, Ciné Par, the Seydoux family’s holding vehicle, filed a public tender offer (offre publique de retrait) on 15 July 2026 to acquire all remaining GAUMONT shares at EUR 100 each, with the stated aim of consolidating full ownership and delisting the company from Euronext Paris. At the filing date, Ciné Par and the Seydoux family concert group already controlled 89.95% of GAUMONT’s share capital and 94.42% of its theoretical voting rights.

Shareholders of GAUMONT
GAUMONT is a listed company on Euronext Paris, so its share register includes minority and free-float investors alongside its disclosed controlling shareholder. Per a public tender-offer filing dated 15 July 2026 (offre publique de retrait, reviewed via the company’s official response document and a related press announcement), Ciné Par, a French société par actions simplifiée based in Paris that serves as the Seydoux family’s holding vehicle, together with parties acting in concert with it, held 89.95% of GAUMONT’s share capital and 94.42% of its theoretical voting rights as of that date.

Within Ciné Par, Sidonie Dumas, GAUMONT’s Director General, is reported to hold 55.46% of Ciné Par’s share capital, and the wider Seydoux family (Sidonie Dumas, Nicolas Seydoux, Michel Seydoux and Pénelope Seydoux) collectively hold 75.50% of Ciné Par’s capital and act in concert regarding GAUMONT. Multiplying Sidonie Dumas’s reported 55.46% holding in Ciné Par by Ciné Par’s 89.95% capital stake in GAUMONT gives a calculated effective indirect ownership of approximately 49.9% in GAUMONT as of 15 July 2026. This is a calculated effective percentage based on the ownership chain disclosed in the tender-offer filing, not a directly reported UBO register entry, and it has not been independently confirmed against a beneficial-ownership register filing.
