The Company and its activities are subject to French legislation, however other laws and/or regulations may apply locally and/ or in other countries.

Allocation and distribution of earnings under the Articles of Association “The income statement summarizes the income and expenses for the fiscal year and, after deductions for amortization, depreciation and provisions, shows the profit for the year. Any prior losses are deducted from the profit for the year, along with at least five per cent for allocation to the legal reserve. Said allocation shall no longer be mandatory when this reserve represents one-tenth of the capital. Profit available for distribution comprises the profit for the year less any losses carried forward and amounts allocated to reserves, pursuant to the law and the Articles of Association, plus retained earnings. The General Shareholders’ Meeting may deduct from this profit all amounts that it deems appropriate for allocation to all discretionary, ordinary or extraordinary reserves, or to retained earnings. The balance, if any, is apportioned by the General Shareholders’ Meeting between all shareholders in proportion to the number of shares each owns. Furthermore, the General Shareholders’ Meeting may resolve to distribute sums deducted from available reserves, by expressly indicating the reserves from which the deductions are to be made. However, dividends are first deducted from the profit for the year. Aside from in the event of a capital reduction, no distribution may be carried out by shareholders where the shareholders’ equity is, or would subsequently be, under the amount of capital plus reserves that by law or pursuant to the Articles of Association cannot be distributed. Revaluation surpluses may not be distributed. Some or all of them may be incorporated into the capital. Any losses shall, following approval of the financial statements by the General Shareholders’ Meeting, be carried forward to be set against earnings in subsequent fiscal years, until fully used up.” (ArticleǾ37 of the Articles of Association).
