Bpifrance Participations S.A. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bpifrance S.A., a French financial institution especially created for this purpose.

As of December 31, 2016, FPCI ETI 2020 held directly 2,112,895 Ordinary Shares, and neither Bpifrance Investissement S.A.S., Bpifrance S.A., CDC nor EPIC (collectively with FPCI ETI 2020, the “Reporting Persons”) held any Ordinary Shares directly. Bpifrance Participations S.A. and Bpifrance Investissement S.A.S. may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the 2,112,895 Ordinary Shares held by FPCI ETI 2020, indirectly through their ownership and/or management of FPCI ETI 2020. Bpifrance S.A. may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 2,112,895 Ordinary Shares, indirectly through its sole ownership of Bpifrance Participations S.A. CDC and EPIC may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of 2,112,895 Ordinary Shares, indirectly through their joint ownership and control of Bpifrance S.A.

 

Pursuant to a Shareholder Agreement (the “Shareholders Agreement”) among Talend S.A., FPCI ETI 2020 and entities affiliated with Balderton Capital, Galileo Partners, Idinvest Partners and Silver Lake (each, a “Major Shareholder”), certain affiliates of each Major Shareholder, other than Galileo Partners, are entitled to nominate one member of Talend S.A.’s board of directors as long as certain continuing ownership thresholds are met.  The Major Shareholders have agreed to vote for these nominees pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement.

 

By virtue of the Shareholders Agreement and the obligations and rights thereunder, the Reporting Persons, the Major Shareholders and/or certain of their affiliates may be deemed to constitute a “group” for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based in part on information provided by the Issuer, such a “group” would be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 18,507,292 Ordinary Shares, or 64.9% of the Ordinary Shares calculated pursuant to Rule 13d-3. The Reporting Persons expressly disclaim beneficial ownership over any ordinary shares that they may be deemed to beneficially own solely by reason of the Shareholders Agreement. Certain entities affiliated with the other Major Shareholders are separately making Schedule 13G filings reporting their beneficial ownership of Ordinary Shares.
