WARNING

 

1)                              Within the evolving context of the Covid-19 epidemic and the fight against its spread, the terms and conditions of attendance to the General Meeting provided for by law and regulations or by TALEND SA are likely to change depending on health and/or regulatory/legal requirements.

 

In particular, the General Meeting could be, in accordance with ordinance n ° 2020-321 of March 25, 2020, held behind closed doors (without the physical presence of the shareholders), if the current situation persists (or even the admission of shareholders restricted by decision of the public authorities or for security reasons) and if physical participation in the General Meeting is impossible.

 

In this context, TALEND SA invites its shareholders to anticipate the hypothesis of an impediment to physically participate in the General Meeting, and to express their vote by mail or to give their proxy to the Chairman of the General Meeting.

 

The final terms and conditions of participation in the General Meeting are specified in the notice of meeting which is published in the Bulletin of Mandatory Legal Announcements (“BALO”) at the latest fifteen days prior to the date of the General Meeting.

 

Shareholders are also invited to regularly consult the section dedicated to the General Meeting on the website https://investor.talend.com/shareholder-services/annual-meeting  which will be updated to specify the final terms and conditions of participation at the General Meeting of June 30, 2020, and in particular its possible holding without the physical presence of the shareholders.

 

2)                              Talend being listed on the Nasdaq market and subject to US domestic issuer securities laws requirements, you will find attached to this mailing for the complete information of our shareholders, a copy of our annual report for the financial year 2019 (“10-K”), along with our definitive proxy statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 27, 2020. However, we draw the attention of our shareholders to the fact that resolution n°6 as presented in the proxy statement contains a non-material error. Consequently, our shareholders should read the resolution n°6 as drafted here below in this notice.

The conditions and modalities of participation in the General Meeting presented below take into account the exceptional situation linked to the current health crisis and take into account the provisions of ordinance n ° 2020-321 of March 25, 2020 adapting the rules of meeting and deliberation of general shareholders meetings and governing bodies due to the epidemic of Covid-19, and decree n ° 2020-418 of 10 April 2020 carrying the implementing measures.

 

Within the evolving context of the Covid-19 epidemic and the fight against its spread, the terms and conditions of participation in the General Meeting provided for by law and regulations or by TALEND SA could be modified.

 

 

 

1.1                  Pre-requisites to attend the General Meeting

 

 

The General Meeting is composed of all the shareholders irrespective of the number of their shares.

 

Any shareholder may be represented at the General Meeting by another shareholder, by his spouse or by the partner with whom he has entered into a civil solidarity pact.

 

In accordance with Article R.225-85 of the French Commercial Code, the right to participate in the General Meeting is justified by the registration of the securities in the name of the shareholder or the intermediary registered on his behalf (in application of the seventh paragraph of Article L.228-1 of the French Commercial Code), on the second day preceding the General Meeting at midnight, Paris time, either in the registered share accounts kept by the Company (or its representative) or in the bearer share accounts held by the authorized intermediary.

 

The registration of the securities in the bearer share accounts kept by the financial intermediaries is recorded by a certificate of participation issued by them (or, where applicable, electronically) under the conditions set out in article R.225-85 of the Commercial Code (with reference to article R.225-61 of the same code), in the appendix:

 

Ø the remote voting form;

Ø the voting proxy; and

Ø the application for an admission card issued in the name of the shareholder or on behalf of the shareholder represented by the registered intermediary.

 

A certificate is also issued to the shareholder wishing to participate physically in the General Meeting and who did not receive his admission card on the second day preceding the General Meeting at midnight, Paris time.

 

 

1.2                  Mode of participation in the General Meeting

 

 

 

If the current situation persists and considering the probability of a General Meeting to be held behind closed doors, shareholders are urged to favor, before the General Meeting, the postal vote or the proxy to the Chairman of the General Meeting, in the conditions specified below.

The investments for the year represent a total of 21,639,876 euros and break down as follows:

 

-     Construction: 56,558 euros corresponding to the improvements made within the premises of the Company,

-     Office and computer equipment, furniture: for 903,857 euros

-     Receivables attached to equity interests for 20,590,954 euros corresponding to a long-term loan granted to the subsidiary Talend Inc.

-     Increase in the amount of financial fixed assets by 88,507 euros following the increase in the security deposit for the premises in Nantes.

 

The change in provision for retirement benefits for the 2019 financial year is 183,410 euros and was recorded as an allocation to provisions for risks and operating expenses.

 

The increase in “Other current assets” is mainly due to the significant increase in cash available following the issue of convertible bonds.

 

 

 

Expected evolution of the Company and future developments

 

We intend to generate profits based on increased sales of our solutions to new and existing customers, including by the continued conversion of free trials into paid users. We currently anticipate that at some point in the future we will be able to increase revenues at a greater rate than increases in our operating expenses. However, there can be no assurance that we will achieve or maintain profitability on a consistent basis, that we will increase our sales to new and existing customers, or that our operating expenses will increase at a lower rate than our revenue may grow.

Key elements of our growth strategy include:

 

-     Maintain our technology leadership.  We intend to continue to invest in Talend Data Fabric and innovate and develop new features, functionalities and app modules as our markets advance.

 

-     Grow our customer base.  We plan to grow our base of customers by increasing focus on frictionless, self-service deployment and pay-as-you-go payment model for our products, continuing to expand our sales organization, further developing our channel relationships, and converting open source and free trial users into paying customers. As of December 31, 2019, we had over 4,250 total customers and 593 enterprise customers that had annual recurring revenue, or ARR, of $100,000 or more.

 

-     Further expand within our existing customer base.  Our customers typically make an initial purchase for a specific and immediate need and then subsequently expand their use cases. Our acquisition of Stitch enhanced our go-to-market reach with a cloud application available for self-service purchase which we believe reduces friction for customers and provides a basis for targeted expansions over time.

 

-     Expand our ecosystem of partners.  We will continue to invest in and grow our strong ecosystem of partners spanning big data vendors, cloud platform and application providers, analytical software providers, commercial use/OEM partners, systems integrators and VARs.

 

-     Continue to grow internationally.  We have employees in the United States, France, Germany, China, the United Kingdom, India, Singapore, Japan, Canada, Australia, Spain, Italy, Ireland, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland and Denmark. We will continue to invest in further expanding our footprint in international markets.

resolves, consequently, to waive the preferential subscription right granted to shareholders by Article L. 225-132 of the French Commercial Code and to reserve subscription for the aforementioned shares to Group Employees, the other shareholders waiving any right to receive any free share in relation to the discount or employer contribution that would be issued on the basis of this resolution,
