The Company was founded with an authorised share capital of 500,000 Netherlands Guilders (“NLG”) divided into 500 shares each having a nominal value of 1,000 NLG, of which 100 were issued to Aerospatiale Matra on 29^th December 1998. These shares were transferred to Dasa AG by way of notarised transfer certificate on 28^th December 1999.

The changes in the shareholding of the Company since its initial public offering and listing are set forth below (for a description of the changes in the issued share capital of the Company since its incorporation, see “Changes in the Issued Share Capital Since Incorporation of the Company”).

Since July 2000, 4,293,746 EADS shares have been distributed without payment of consideration by the French State to certain former shareholders of Aerospatiale Matra as a result of its privatisation in June 1999. The last distribution took place in July 2002.

In addition, in January 2001, the French State and Lagardère sold on the market all of their EADS shares (respectively 7,500,000 and 16,709,333 EADS shares) other than their Indirect EADS Shares (and, in the case of the French State, other than the EADS shares to be distributed to former shareholders of Aerospatiale Matra, see “Relationships with Principal Shareholders — Specific Rights and Undertakings of the French State”) that they held as a result of the non-exercise of the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters in the context of the initial public offering carried out by the Company for the purpose of its listing in July 2000 (including, in the case of Lagardère, those shares other than its Indirect EADS Shares purchased from the French Financial Institutions at the end of the exercise period of the over-allotment option).

On 8^th July 2004, DaimlerChrysler announced that it had placed on the market (in the context of a hedging transaction) all of its EADS shares (22,227,478 EADS shares), representing 2.73% of the capital and 2.78% of the EADS voting rights at that date, except for its Indirect EADS Shares.

On 4^th April 2006, DaimlerChrysler and Lagardère announced the entry into simultaneous transactions aimed at reducing by 7.5% each their respective shareholdings in EADS. DaimlerChrysler entered into a forward sale agreement of approximately 61 million EADS shares with a group of investment banks. DaimlerChrysler indicated that it lent these shares to the banks in anticipation of the settlement of the forward sale. Lagardère issued mandatory exchangeable bonds. The EADS shares deliverable at the maturity of the bonds will represent a maximum of 7.5% of the share capital of EADS, or approximately 61 million EADS shares.

On 9^th February 2007, DaimlerChrysler reached an agreement with a consortium of private and public-sector investors by which it will effectively reduce its shareholding in EADS from 22.5% to 15%. DaimlerChrysler has placed its entire 22.5% equity interest in EADS into a new company, in which the consortium of investors will acquire a one-third interest through a special-purpose entity. This effectively represents a 7.5% stake in EADS. DaimlerChrysler has the option of dissolving the new structure on 1^st July 2010 at the earliest. If the structure is dissolved, DaimlerChrysler has the right either to provide the investors with EADS shares or to pay cash compensation. If EADS shares are provided, the German State, and the French State and Lagardère through SOGEADE, will be entitled to pre-empt such EADS shares to retain the balance between the German and the French side. DaimlerChrysler will continue to control the voting rights of the entire 22.5% package of EADS shares.

As from the date of filing with the AFM of the Registration Document of the Company for the financial year 2005 (26^th April 2006), the Company received a threshold notification stating that, as of 8^th September 2006, JSC Vneshtorgbank held 41,050,705 EADS shares. As of 31^st December 2006, JSC Vneshtorgbank held 5.03% of the share capital of the Company.

The Division of the issued shares and voting rights of the Company before exercise of outstanding stock options granted for the subscription of EADS shares (see “Part 1 – Long Terms Incentive Plans”) in respect of the past three years is indicated in the table below:

To the knowledge of the Company, except as disclosed previously in “Relationships with Principal Shareholders”, there are no pledges over the shares of the Company.
