What happens if I sell my ADSs before the French Record Date?

If you sell, transfer or cancel your ADSs before the French Record Date and the Depositary cannot confirm your continued ownership of ADSs as of the French Record Date, any voting instructions you or your custodian or broker may have delivered to the Depositary will be invalidated.

What happens to unvoted ADSs?

The Depositary shall deem the holders of unvoted ADSs to have instructed the Depositary to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by the Company to vote the Deposited Securities represented by such holders’ ADSs; provided, however, that no such discretionary proxy shall be given by the Depositary with respect to any matter to be voted upon as to which the Company informs the Depositary that (i) the Company does not wish such proxy to be given, (ii) substantial opposition exists, or (iii) the rights of holders of Deposited Securities may be materially adversely affected. By way of example and not limitation, it is agreed that routine matters, such as appointing auditors and directors (except where a competing director or slate of directors is proposed), or the approval of a public offering or private placement of securities, would not materially affect the rights of holders of ADSs.

ALL ISSUES RELATED TO THE FORM AND VALIDITY OF ANY NOTICES, DIRECTIONS OR INSTRUCTIONS WILL BE DETERMINED BY CITIBANK, N.A, AS DEPOSITARY, IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION, WHOSE DETERMINATION SHALL BE FINAL AND BINDING.
