DIVIDEND PAYMENT
Dividend distribution has been centralized with
BNP-Paribas. Payment is made directly to the account custodian by
EUROCLEAR France.
The BANK OF NEW YORK (101 Barclay Street, New
York, NY 10286, USA) handles dividend payment to the bearers of
American Depositary Shares (ADS).
PAYMENT OF DIVIDEND ON STOCK CERTIFICATES
TotalFinaElf issued Stock Certificates (Certificats
Representatifs d'Action, hereafter CRs), as part of the exchange
offer for PetroFina shares. The CR is a share certificate provided
for by French law, issued by EUROCLEAR France for circulation outside
France, and may not be held by French residents. The CR has the
characteristics of a bearer security, whether recorded in a custody
account or issued as a physical certificate. The CR can be freely
transferred from physical certificate to custody account. Banque
Bruxelles Lambert is the central bank for payment against any coupons
detached from circulating physical CRs.
Payment for coupons detached from CRs will be
made free of charge at the teller windows of the following institutions:

TOTALFINAELF VVPR-STRIPS
A VVPR-strip is a page of coupons which
entitles a private individual residing in Belgium to a reduction
from 25% to 15% off the tax withheld on TotalFinaElf dividend, for
each coupon presented with the corresponding share coupon. The TotalFinaElf
VVPR-strips are traded on the Brussels Stock Exchange but they do not have significant value. Paying banks
in Belgium will document the reduction from 25% to 15% off the tax
withholding for the number of TotalFinaElf VVPR-strip coupons issued
for this purpose. As of December 31, 2001, there were 56,933,514
TotalFinaElf VVPR-strips in circulation.
