     On November 6, 2007, the Company obtained the relevant approvals by the U.S. antitrust authorities and on November 27, 2007, by the European antitrust authorities respectively. On November 22, 2007, the Company obtained the authorization of the French Ministry of Finance in relation to foreign investments, and on November 27, 2007, the clearance of the French stock exchange authority AMF.
     Pursuant to the provisions of 232-4 of the General Regulations of the AMF and Rule 14d-11 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the French and U.S. offers will be automatically reopened on the trading day following publication of the final results if there is a positive outcome. If the offers are reopened, the terms of the reopened offers will be identical to the terms of the offers. In such case, the AMF will publish the timetable for the reopening of the French offer, which will last in principle at least ten trading days.
