AXA Shareholders' Meeting

Approval of all resolutions submitted to a vote of shareholders

During AXA's Annual Shareholders' Meeting convened today, all resolutions submitted to a vote1 were approved by the shareholders, including:

• The appointment of Mr. Ramon de Oliveira as member of the AXA Supervisory Board, replacing Mr. Henri Lachmann whose term of office expired. Mr de Oliveira has been managing partner of Logan Pass Partners, LLC (investment & consulting services) since 2001, after having been a member of the executive committee of JP Morgan and chairman of JP Morgan Asset Management. He was also adjunct professor of finance at the Columbia University between 2002 and 2006.
• The payment of a Euro 0.40 dividend per share to be paid on May 12, 2009 (ex-dividend date: May 7, 2009). AXA will therefore pay its shareholders an aggregate amount equal to approximately Euro 836 million, i.e. 25% of 2008 adjusted earnings, reflecting the balance between prudent capital management – the key to the company's longterm development – and the Group's long-term payout policy (40-50% of adjusted earnings).

¹ The Management Board decided not to submit the 23rd resolution to a vote of shareholders ("Delegation of authority to the Management Board in order to increase the share capital of the Company by issuing preferred shares, with suppression of the shareholders' preferential subscription rights in favor of AXA Assurances IARD Mutuelle and AXA Assurances Vie Mutuelle"). This decision was taken as the resolution could have been misunderstood as giving an unfair preferential treatment to the Mutuelles AXA.
