Share ownership

The following graphs provide information about the distribution of shareholders by type and geographic region. This information relates only to registered shareholders and does not include holders of unregistered shares. Also, the information provided in the graphs below cannot be assumed to be representative of the entire Novartis investor base since nominees and JPMorgan Chase Bank, as ADR depositary, are registered as shareholders for a large number of beneficial owners.
