Rights, privileges, and restrictions attached to each class of existing shares At the date of this report, there is only one class of Company share. The shares of the Company must be in the form of registered shares. They shall be registered in the Company’s registries in accordance with applicable regulations. Shares are indivisible vis-à-vis the Company. Co-owners of securities are represented at General Meetings by one of the owners or by a joint representative of their choice. If co-owners are unable to reach an agreement as to the choice of their representative, the latter is appointed by summary judgment of the President of the French Commercial Court at the request of the most diligent co-owner. In case of split ownership of a share, the Company’s registries mention the name of the usufructuary and of the bare owner(s). Voting rights Each shareholder has as many voting rights in General Meetings as the number of fully paid up shares they hold, it being specified that pursuant to Article L. 225-123 of the French Commercial Code, a double voting right is attributed to all fully paid up shares registered in the name of the same shareholder for a period of at least two years. After notifying the Company, any shareholder may validly waive, temporarily or permanently, all or part of its double voting rights by means of a private deed entered into, in particular, between the concerned shareholder and the Company, or by means of a notification from the concerned shareholder to the Company sent by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, in both cases at least three days before the date of the Meeting for which or as from which the shareholder intends to waive such double voting rights. The waiver of double voting rights by a shareholder has the effect of granting it single voting rights in respect of the shares to which this double voting right was attached; it may not have the effect of depriving it of its voting rights. Allocation and distribution of profits With regard to the allocation and distribution of profits, the difference between income and expenses of each financial year, after deduction of amortization and provisions, constitutes the profit or loss for said financial year. In accordance with the law, the Company provides its legal reserve with at least 5% of its net profits. This deduction ceases to be mandatory when the reserve reaches one-tenth of the share capital. The distributable profit consists of the profit for the financial year, less previous losses, as well as the sums to be carried in reserve in application of the law and the Articles of Association and increased by the profit (loss) carried forward. Except in the event of a capital reduction, no distribution may be made to the shareholders or bearers of securities if equity is or would become as a result thereof lower than the amount of the share capital, increased by the amount of the reserves that may not be distributed pursuant to law or the Articles of Association.
