== History ==
SOGEADE was created solely to hold French interests in the newly founded EADS ([[Airbus]]), as an intermediate holding company, which were owned by [[Agence des participations de l'État|the state of France]] (through [[SOGEPA]]) and [[Lagardère Group]] (Désirade). In 2005, SOGEADE had the same shares holding ratio with [[Daimler AG]] for 29.9%.<ref name="Airbus2005AR">{{Cite web |title=Annual Review 2005 |url=http://www.airbusgroup.com/dam/assets/airbusgroup/int/en/investor-relations/documents/2005/Annual-Reports/en/EADS-Annual-Review-2005/EADS%20Annual%20Review%202005.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150315075244/http://www.airbusgroup.com/dam/assets/airbusgroup/int/en/investor-relations/documents/2005/Annual-Reports/en/EADS-Annual-Review-2005/EADS%20Annual%20Review%202005.pdf |archive-date=2015-03-15 |url-status=live |publisher=EADS |accessdate=21 February 2016}}</ref>

In 2007 Daimler agreed to sell 7.5% shares of Airbus to Dedalus while Lagardère issued mandatory exchangeable bonds for the 7.5% shares of Airbus to [[Natixis]].
