Share count has been unchanged at 105,569,412 every month since at least March 2024, so staleness risk is low. Double voting rights for long-held registered shares: 179,342,972 theoretical vs 178,515,247 exercisable, the ~827,725 difference being votes attached to treasury stock (i.e. roughly 0.4-0.8m treasury shares - immaterial). Hermes is a Societe en Commandite par Actions: the founding families hold about two-thirds of the capital through H51/H2 holdings, so free float is only ~1/3.
Share counts move on a filing cadence, prices move continuously — so this figure is exact only as of the two dates above, and we publish both rather than a single undated number. This company is quoted here through a depositary receipt (HESAY), where one receipt represents 0.1 ordinary shares; the price is put on an ordinary-share basis before it meets the share count.
