Shareholders’ equity per share (c)                                                                          20.4              18.2            22.5           22.9            19.9

(a) As described in Notes 1.10, 1.12.2 and 1.13.2 of Part 4 – consolidated financial statements of this Annual Report, these amounts take into account: (i) following clarification
    of IFRIC agenda Committee following IASB decision, AXA reclassified TSDI instruments (perpetual subordinated debts) into shareholders’ equity in 2006 with retrospective
    application in 2005 with impact on net income, (ii) in line with accounting FRS27, the reclassification in the United Kingdom of some with-profit technical reserves to allow
    for all future terminal bonuses payable to with-profit policyholders within the allocated policyholder reserves, previously held in the unallocated policyholder bonus reserve,
    without any impact on earnings, and (iii) the restatement of The Netherlands’ activities as discontinued businesses.
(b) Includes investment income net of investment management costs, impairment, net realized investment gains and losses and net unrealized investment gains and losses on
    assets with financial risk borne by the policyholders and on assets designated as at fair value through profit & loss, including assets backing the UK with-profits business.
(c) (i) the calculation of net income per share is based on the weighted average number of outstanding shares for each period presented, and (ii) shareholders’ equity per share
    is calculated based on the actual number of outstanding shares at each period-end presented. The calculations deduct shares held by AXA and its subsidiaries (i.e. treasury
    shares) in the calculation of weighted average number of outstanding shares (for net income per share) and outstanding shares (for shareholders’ equity per share). The
    calculation of basic and diluted net income per share for the three years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 is presented in Note 26 “Net Income per Ordinary Share”
    to AXA’s consolidated financial statements. Since 2008, the net income per share takes into account interest charges and foreign exchange impacts related to perpetual
    debts classified in shareholders’ equity, with retroactive impact on prior years.
(d) Following AXA’s rights issue in 4Q09, the average number of shares has been restated to take into account an adjustment factor of 1.023. In the average number of shares
    calculation, the adjustment factor has been applied on outstanding shares prior to the date of the capital increase leading to an adjustment on average number of shares of
    48.4 million shares in 2009, 47.7 million in 2008, 47.9 million in 2007, 45.2 million in 2006 and 44.1 million in 2005. As of December 31, 2009, total net outstanding number
    of shares was 2,264 million and average fully diluted number of shares was 2,133 million.
(e) An annual dividend is generally paid each year in respect of the prior year after the Shareholders’ Meeting (customarily held in April or May) and before September of that year.
    Dividends are presented in this table in the year to which they relate and not in the year in which they are declared and paid. A dividend of €0.55 per share will be proposed
    at AXA’s Shareholders’ Meeting that will be held on April 29, 2010. The dividend will be payable on May 6, 2010 with an ex-dividend date of May 3, 2010.
(f) In accordance with IFRS 3, i.e. within 12 months following the acquisition date, the Group adjusted certain items impacting the allocation of the Seguros ING (Mexico)
    purchase price, resulting in a €33 million increase in the goodwill to €512 million. Most of this increase in goodwill was due to adjustments to provisions for liabilities and
    claims reserves.

     (b) Following AXA’s rights issue in 4Q09, the average number of shares has been restated to take into account an adjustment factor of 1.023. In the average number of shares
         calculation, the adjustment factor has been applied on outstanding shares prior to the date of the capital increase leading to an adjustment on average number of shares of
         48.4 million shares in 2009, 47.7 million in 2008 and 47.9 million in 2007. As of December 31, 2009, total net outstanding number of shares was 2,264 million and average
         fully diluted number of shares was 2,133 million.

(b) Includes investment income net of investment management costs, impairment, net realized investment gains and losses and net unrealized investment gains and losses on assets with financial risk borne by the policyholders and on assets designated as at fair value through profit & loss, including assets backing the UK with-profits business. (c) (i) the calculation of net income per share is based on the weighted average number of outstanding shares for each period presented, and (ii) shareholders’ equity per share is calculated based on the actual number of outstanding shares at each period-end presented. The calculations deduct shares held by AXA and its subsidiaries (i.e. treasury shares) in the calculation of weighted average number of outstanding shares (for net income per share) and outstanding shares (for shareholders’ equity per share). The calculation of basic and diluted net income per share for the three years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 is presented in Note 26 “Net Income per Ordinary Share” to AXA’s consolidated financial statements. Since 2008, the net income per share takes into account interest charges and foreign exchange impacts related to perpetual debts classified in shareholders’ equity, with retroactive impact on prior years. (d) Following AXA’s rights issue in 4Q09, the average number of shares has been restated to take into account an adjustment factor of 1.023. In the average number of shares calculation, the adjustment factor has been applied on outstanding shares prior to the date of the capital increase leading to an adjustment on average number of shares of 48.4 million shares in 2009, 47.7 million in 2008, 47.9 million in 2007, 45.2 million in 2006 and 44.1 million in 2005. As of December 31, 2009, total net outstanding number of shares was 2,264 million and average fully diluted number of shares was 2,133 million. (e) An annual dividend is generally paid each year in respect of the prior year after the Shareholders’ Meeting (customarily held in April or May) and before September of that year. Dividends are presented in this table in the year to which they relate and not in the year in which they are declared and paid. A dividend of €0.55 per share will be proposed at AXA’s Shareholders’ Meeting that will be held on April 29, 2010. The dividend will be payable on May 6, 2010 with an ex-dividend date of May 3, 2010. (f) In accordance with IFRS 3, i.e. within 12 months following the acquisition date, the Group adjusted certain items impacting the allocation of the Seguros ING (Mexico) purchase price, resulting in a €33 million increase in the goodwill to €512 million. Most of this increase in goodwill was due to adjustments to provisions for liabilities and claims reserves.
