  • shareholders delegate to it for a period of 26 months as of the date of this Shareholders' Meeting, the power to issue ordinary shares and/or marketable securities granting access to ordinary shares, within the limit of 10% of the share capital, in consideration for contributions in kind to the Company consisting of equity securities or securities granting access to share capital (27th resolution) when the provisions of Article L. 22-10-54 of the French Commercial Code are not applicable;

The total par value amount of share capital increases likely to be carried out, immediately or in the future, under the 21st, 22nd, 24th, 25th, 26th, 27th and 29th resolutions of this Shareholders' Meeting, may not, pursuant to the 30th resolution, exceed €28,929,000, it being specified that the overall amount of share capital increases likely to be carried out, immediately or in the future, may not exceed:

  • €28,929,000 for each of the 21st, 22nd, 24th and 25th resolutions, as well as for the 20th resolution;
  • 10% of the share capital at the date of the Board of Directors' decision to increase the capital for the 27th and 29th resolutions.

The total nominal amount of debt securities likely to be issued under the 21st, 22nd, 24th, 25th, 26th, 27th and 29th resolutions of this Shareholders' Meeting, may not, pursuant to the 30th resolution, exceed €200,000,000, it being specified that this amount is also the individual ceiling for each of these resolutions (except for the 25th and 26th resolutions) and for the 20th resolution.

These ceilings take into account the additional securities to be issued within the framework of the delegations of authority covered in the 20th, 21st, 22nd, 24th and 25th resolutions, under the conditions set out in Article L. 225-135-1 of the French Commercial Code, if you adopt the 26th resolution.

It is the responsibility of the Board of Directors to prepare a report in accordance with Articles R. 225-113et seq. of the French Commercial Code. Our role is to express an opinion on the fair presentation of the quantified information extracted from the financial statements, on the proposed cancelation of preferential subscription rights and on certain other information concerning these transactions, contained in this report.

We performed the procedures that we deemed necessary in accordance with the professional guidelines of the French National Institute of Statutory Auditors (Compagnie Nationale des Commissaires aux Comptes) relating to this engagement. These procedures consisted in verifying the content of the Board of Directors' report relating to this transaction and the methods used to determine the issue price of equity securities to be issued.

Subject to a subsequent review of the terms and conditions of the issue that may be decided, we have no comments on the methods used to determine the issue price of the equity securities to be issued presented in the Board of Directors' report in respect of the 21st, 22nd, 24th and 25th resolutions.

Furthermore, as this report does not specify the methods of calculating the issue price of the equity securities to be issued under the 20th, 27th and 29th resolutions, we cannot express an opinion on the choice of calculation inputs for this issue price.

As the final terms and conditions of the issues have not been determined, we do not express an opinion thereon and, as such, on the proposed cancelation of preferential subscription rights referred to in the 21st, 22nd, 24th and 25th resolutions.

In accordance with Article R.225-116 of the French Commercial Code, we will issue a supplementary report, if necessary, should these delegations be used by your Board of Directors in the event of the issue of marketable securities representing equity securities granting access to other equity securities or conferring entitlement to the allocation of debt securities, the issue of marketable securities granting access to equity securities to be issued and the issue of ordinary shares with cancelation of preferential subscription rights.
