Resolution n° 17 – Authorization for the Company’s purchase of its own shares

 

The Shareholders’ meeting, acting under the conditions of quorum and majority required for ordinary shareholders’ meetings, after having deliberated and reviewed the Executive Board’s report, authorizes the Executive Board, along with the power to sub-delegate, pursuant to the conditions set forth in Articles L. 225-209 of the French Commercial Code, to purchase Company’s shares through the implementation of a share repurchase program.

 

The Shareholders’ meeting decides that:

 

-the maximum purchase price (excluding expenses) per share is set at EUR20.00 and,

 

-the maximum amount of funds allocated to the implementation of this share repurchase program may not exceed EUR1,000,000.

 

In the event of a change in the nominal share value, a share capital increase by incorporation of reserves, an allocation of free shares to all shareholders, a split or reverse split of securities, a distribution of reserves or of any other assets, capital amortization or any other transaction affecting shareholders’ equity, the Shareholders’ meeting grants to the Executive Board, along with the power to sub-delegate, pursuant to the conditions set forth in Articles L.225-209 et seq. of the French Commercial Code, the powers to adjust the purchase price above in order to take into account the effect of those transactions on the value of the share.

 

The Shareholders’ meeting decides that the Company may purchase a number of shares such that:

 

6

Unofficial tranSlation for informationAL purposes only

- the maximum number of shares that may be acquired pursuant to this authorization may not exceed 10% of the total number of shares comprising the Company’s share capital and 5% of the total number of shares comprising the Company’s share capital for the allocations made to retain shares and to subsequently use them as payment or in an exchange in the context of a merger, split or contribution transaction; it being specified that (i) these limits apply to an amount of the Company’s share capital that will be adjusted, if necessary, to take into account those transactions that will affect the share capital subsequent to this Shareholders’ meeting, and (ii) when the shares are bought back to promote liquidity the number of shares taken into account to calculate the above mentioned 10% limit corresponds to the number of shares purchased, minus the number of shares re-sold during the authorization period; and

 

- the allocations carried out by the Company must not result in the Company holding, at any moment whatsoever, directly or indirectly, more than 10% of its share capital.

 

This authorization is intended to allow the Company to pursue the following objectives, in compliance with applicable legislative and regulatory provisions:

 

(i) to retain the Company’s shares that will have been purchased and to use them in exchange or in payment within the context of potential external growth transactions, in accordance with stock market regulations;

 

(ii) to deliver shares upon the exercise of rights attached to securities giving access to the share capital of the Company;

 

(iii) to allocate shares to employees or corporate officers of the Company or its subsidiaries in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth by law, in particular with respect to the allocation of free shares, the participation in the profits resulting from the expansion of the business, stock option plans or through a company savings plan;

 

(iv) to ensure liquidity and to promote the secondary market for the Company’s securities;

 

(v) to cancel all or part of the repurchased securities, provided the thirty-second resolution below is adopted; and

 

(vi) to accomplish all other authorized goals or goals that could become authorized by law or recognized or that would be recognized as a market practice by the Autorité des Marchés Financiers, in which case the Company would inform its shareholders by way of a press release.

 

Purchase of Company’s shares may be carried out at any time, except during period of public offering on the Company share capital.

 

The Shareholders’ meeting decides that these purchase, sale, exchange or transfer transactions may be carried out in any manner, either on the regulated market, on a multilateral trading facility, through a systematic internalizer or through an over-the-counter transaction, such as an allocation or block trades, or by resorting to financial instruments, in particular financial derivatives negotiated on a regulated market, on a multilateral trading facility, through a systematic internalizer or through a private transaction or by resorting to warrants, in compliance with the conditions set forth by the legislative and regulatory provisions that are applicable on the date of the considered transactions and during the periods set by the Company’s Executive Board or by the person to whom the Executive Board delegated its authority. The maximum portion of the share capital acquired or transferred in the form of blocks trades can be the total amount of the repurchase program.

 

Moreover, the Shareholders’ meeting grants full powers to the Executive Board, along with the power to sub-delegate pursuant to the conditions set forth in Article L.225-209 of the French Commercial Code, to decide and implement this authorization, to specify, if necessary, its terms and, in particular, to place any on or off-market orders, to allocate or reallocate purchased shares to the various set objectives, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, to enter into any agreements, particularly for the purpose of maintaining share purchase and sale registries, to complete any formalities or statements with any agencies, particularly the Autorité des Marchés Financiers and, generally speaking, to take any necessary action in order to complete the transactions carried out pursuant to this authorization.

 

7

Unofficial tranSlation for informationAL purposes only

The Shareholders’ meeting also grants full powers to the Executive Board, if the law or the Autorité des Marchés Financiers were to extend or supplement to the authorized objectives for share repurchase programs, to inform the public of any changes to the repurchase program concerning the modified objectives, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

 

This authorization is granted for a period of eighteen (18) months from the date of this Shareholders’ meeting. It voids, from this day, as the case may be, any unused part of any prior authorization having the same purpose, i.e., any authorization relating to the repurchase of its own shares by the Company. This authorization therefore voids the authorization granted by the Shareholders’ meeting dated 22 May 2019 pursuant to its twenty-second resolution.

8. Acknowledges that, in the event that the Executive Board uses the delegation of authority granted to it in this resolution, the Executive Board shall inform the shareholders' meeting each year, in accordance with law, of the operations carried out under this resolution.

 

Prior to using this delegation of authority, the Executive Board must submit the principle of its use to the Supervisory Board.

 

This authorization may be used within thirty-eight (38) months from the date of this Shareholders’ meeting.

 

Resolution n° 19 – Authorization granted to the Executive Board to allocate existing or new free shares for the benefit of employed members of the Executive Committee, employed senior executives and/or corporate officers of the Company or its subsidiaries as part of their variable annual compensation

 

The Shareholders’ meeting, acting under the conditions of quorum and majority required for Extraordinary Shareholders’ meetings, after having reviewed the report of the Executive Board and the special report of the Statutory Auditors, pursuant to the provisions of Article L.225-197-1 et seq. of the French Commercial Code, authorizes the Executive Board to proceed with, for the benefit of employed members of the Executive Committee, employed senior executives and/or corporate officers of the Company or its consolidated subsidiaries eligible under the above mentioned texts, a free allocation of 200,000 common shares, existing or to be issued, with a nominal value of EUR0.05 each (the “Free Shares”).

 

This authorization must be used within thirty-eight (38) months from the date of this Shareholders’ meeting.

Unofficial tranSlation for informationAL purposes only

(1)Capital increase

 

The allotment of the totality of the Free Shares, in the case of new shares, will result in a capital increase of EUR10,000 capital increase authorized by this Shareholders’ meeting, it being specified that this amount does not take into account any adjustments that may potentially be carried out in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory provisions and, as the case may be, with contractual stipulations providing for other cases of adjustment, in order to preserve the rights of holders of securities or other rights giving access to the share capital.

 

The capital increase that will result from the creation of the Free Shares will be implemented by way of special incorporation of all or part of the reserve accounts available and, in particular, of the “premium account”. The Shareholders’ meeting acknowledges that this decision implies shareholders’ renunciation of their right, for the benefit of holders of Free Shares, to the said reserves.

 

(2)Vesting and retention periods

 

The Executive Board shall determine, for each allocation, (i) either a vesting period of one year after which the allocation of existing or new shares will become definitive, followed by a mandatory retention period of one year which runs from the definitive allocation of the Free Shares (ii) or a vesting period of two years. The definitive allocation of the Free Shares at the end of the vesting period must be subject to (i) the performance criteria that have been fixed by the Executive Board and to (ii) the condition of the beneficiary’s presence in the Company or its consolidated subsidiaries as an employee and/or an executive officer and/or a member of a governance or administration body (board of director or supervisory board or, as the case may be, their equivalent under foreign law), which will be observed on the same date as the performance criteria.

 

However, in the event of disability of the beneficiary corresponding to the classification in the second or third categories provided for in Article 341-4 of the French Social Security Code (or its equivalent in the applicable foreign law), the Free Shares will be definitively allocated before the end of the remaining vesting period, said shares being then freely transferable.

 

(3)Delegation of powers to the Executive Board

Resolution n° 20 – Authorization granted to the Executive Board to allocate existing or new free shares on the basis of the performance criteria for the benefit of executive officers, employed members of the Executive Committee, employed senior executives and/or corporate officers of the Company or its subsidiaries

 

The Shareholders’ meeting, acting under the conditions of quorum and majority required for Extraordinary Shareholders’ meetings, after having deliberated and reviewed the report of the Executive Board and the special report of the Statutory Auditors, pursuant to the provisions of Article L.225-197-1 et seq. of the French Commercial Code, authorizes the Executive Board to proceed with, for the benefit of executive officers, employed members of the Executive Committee, employed senior executives and/or corporate officers of the Company or its consolidated subsidiaries eligible under the above mentioned texts, a free allocation of 770,000 common shares, existing or to be issued, with a nominal value of EUR0.05 each (the “Performance Free Shares”).

 

This authorization must be used within thirty-eight (38) months from the date of this Shareholders’ meeting.

 

(1)Capital increase

 

The allotment of the totality of the Performance Free Shares, in the case of new shares, will result in a capital increase of EUR38,500, capital increase authorized by this Shareholders’ meeting, it being specified that this amount does not take into account any adjustments that may potentially be carried out in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory provisions and, as the case may be, with contractual stipulations providing for other cases of adjustment, in order to preserve the rights of holders of securities or other rights giving access to the share capital.

 

The capital increase that will result from the creation of the Performance Free Shares will be implemented by way of special incorporation of all or part of the reserve accounts available and, in particular, of the “premium account”. The Shareholders’ meeting acknowledges that this decision implies shareholders’ renunciation of their right, for the benefit of holders of the Performance Free Shares, to the said reserves.

 

(2)Vesting period

 

The Executive Board shall determine, for each allocation, a vesting period of at least three years after which the allocation of existing or new shares will become definitive. The definitive allocation of the Performance Free Shares at the end of the three-year vesting period must be subject to (i) the performance criteria that have been fixed by the Executive Board and to (ii) the condition of the beneficiary’s presence in the Company or its consolidated subsidiaries as an employee and/or an executive officer and/or a member of a governance or administration body (board of director or supervisory board or, as the case may be, their equivalent under foreign law).

 

However, in the event of disability of the beneficiary corresponding to the classification in the second or third categories provided for in Article 341-4 of the French Social Security Code (or its equivalent in the applicable foreign law), the Performance Free Shares will be definitively allocated before the end of the remaining vesting period, said shares being then freely transferable.

2. Decides that any issuance of preferential shares and securities giving access to preferential shares is expressly excluded from such issuance;

 

3.

5.

If the subscriptions made as an irrevocable right and, as the case may be, the subscriptions subject to a reduction, have not exhausted the total amount of an issuance of securities, the Executive Board can decide to:

 

-limit the amount of the capital increase to the amount subscribed, provided it reaches at least three quarters of the increase decided;

-offer all or part of the unsubscribed shares or securities to the public.

12. Acknowledges that this delegation voids, from this day, as the case may be, any unused part of any prior delegation of authority having the same purpose, i.e., any delegation relating to a share capital increase with shareholders’ preferential subscription rights, covering the shares and securities referred to in this resolution. This delegation therefore voids the delegation granted by the Shareholders’ meeting held on 22 May 2019 pursuant to its twenty-seventh resolution; and

This priority period shall not give rise to the creation of marketable entitlements and shall be exercised in proportion to the number of shares owned by each shareholder and may potentially be supplemented by a subscription subject to reduction;

 

7. Acknowledges that if the subscriptions have not absorbed all of the issuance of shares or securities giving access to the share capital, the Executive Board may limit the amount of the transaction to the amount of the subscriptions received;

12. Decides that the Executive Board cannot, unless authorized in advance by the Shareholders’ meeting, make use of this authorization during a public offering initiated by a third party targeting the securities of the Company until the end of the offering period;

The delegation thus granted to the Executive Board is valid for a term of twenty-six (26) months as from the date of this Shareholders’ meeting.

 

Resolution n° 32 – Delegation of power granted to the Executive Board for the purpose of cancelling all or part of the treasury shares of the Company, acquired pursuant to the authorization to repurchase shares

 

The Shareholders’ meeting, acting under the conditions of quorum and majority required for Extraordinary Shareholders’ meetings, having reviewed the report of the Executive Board and the special report of the Statutory Auditors, subject to the adoption of the authorization allowing the Company to repurchase its own shares as detailed in the seventeenth resolution above, authorizes the Executive Board, pursuant to the provisions of Articles L.225-209 et seq. of the French Commercial Code, to cancel, in the proportions and at the times it shall determine, once in full or in several installments, all or part of the Company’s shares that the Company holds pursuant to the authorization granted to the Executive Board to repurchase the Company’s shares, and to reduce the share capital by the overall nominal amount of the shares thus cancelled, within the limit of 10% of the share capital over a period of twenty-four (24) months; it being reminded that this 10% limit applies to the Company’s share capital, which may, if applicable, be adjusted according to transactions affecting the share capital that may occur subsequent to this Shareholders’ meeting.

It voids, as from this day, as the case may be, any unused part of any prior delegation of authority granted to the Executive Board, having the same purpose, i.e., any delegation relating to the reducing of the share capital by cancellation of treasury shares. This delegation therefore voids the delegation granted by the Shareholders’ meeting held on 22 May 2019 pursuant to its thirty-seventh resolution.
