INFORMATION ABOUT THE SHARE CAPITAL

7.2.9 TREASURY SHARE TRANSACTIONS CARRIED OUT BY THE COMPANY IN 2016 (ARTICLE L. 225-211 OF THE FRENCH COMMERCIAL CODE) At the Annual General Meeting of 24 May 2016, the shareholders granted an authorisation to put in place a share buyback programme. This new authorisation superseded the previous authorisation granted for the same purpose in the seventeenth resolution of the Annual General Meeting of 22 May 2015. 7.2.10 DESCRIPTION OF THE SHARE BUYBACK PROGRAMME (SET UP IN ACCORDANCE WITH ARTICLE 241-2 OF THE AMF’S GENERAL REGULATIONS) In compliance with Article L. 225-209 of the French Commercial Code, at the Annual General Meeting held on 24 May 2016, Assystem’s shareholders granted the Company an eighteen-month authorisation to buy back its own shares, expiring on 24 November 2017. This authorisation superseded the previous authorisation granted for the same purpose at the Annual General Meeting of 22 May 2015. A document describing the share buyback programme put in place by the Board of Directors at its 24 May 2016 meeting was filed electronically with the AMF and published electronically by Hugin InPublic (a professional distributor on the AMF list). The shares bought back under the programme may not represent over 10% of the Company’s capital and the maximum purchase price set

by the Company’s shareholders was €30 (excluding costs). The overall ceiling on the programme is €55,000,000. The shares purchased under the buyback programme may be used for the following purposes: ● to maintain the liquidity of the Company’s shares under a liquidity contract entered into with an investment services provider that complies with a Code of Conduct recognised by the AMF; ● to honour obligations associated with stock option and/or free share/ performance share plans, employee savings schemes or other share allotments made to employees and officers of the Company or related companies; ● for allocation on exercise of rights attached to securities redeemable, convertible, exchangeable or otherwise exercisable for the Company’s shares; ● to be held and subsequently used in exchange or as payment in connection with external growth transactions; ● more generally, for any purpose authorised by law or any market practice that may be permitted by the market authorities, provided that in such a case the Company notifies its shareholders by way of a press release. In the event of a corporate action, such as the capitalisation of reserves and a bonus share allotment, a stock split or reverse stock split, the prices indicated above will be adjusted accordingly. If the Company buys back its own shares without subsequently cancelling them, this may have an impact on its taxable earnings if the shares are then sold or transferred at a different price than their purchase price. ● for subsequent cancellation; or
