Extraordinary General Meeting

RESOLUTION 19 Delegation of authority to be given to the Board of Directors to increase the share capital by issuing new ordinary shares and/or securities giving access to the share capital, with preservation of Shareholders’ preferential rights of subscription

Purpose You are asked to delegate to the Board of Directors the authority to proceed, in France or abroad, with one or several issuance(s) of new ordinary shares of the Company and/or of securities giving access by any means to the Company’s share capital, with preservation of Shareholders’ preferential rights of subscription. This system is intended to give your Board of Directors the opportunity to react quickly to the financial needs of the Company, allowing it also to select, in due time, the most appropriate type of securities to be issued. The authorization would cover the issuance of ordinary shares and/or any securities giving access to the share capital (hereinafter the “Complex Capital Securities” “ Valeurs Mobilières Composées ”), notably for example, shares with warrants, bonds with share subscription warrants, bonds convertible into shares or equity warrants. The total nominal amount of issuances likely to be performed immediately or in the future would not exceed 17 million euros. To these amounts shall be added, if necessary, the additional nominal amount of securities to be issued in order to preserve, in accordance with the law, the rights of bearers of already issued investment securities giving right to shares. We remind you that the decision to issue securities giving right to the share capital would also entail waiver by the Shareholders of their preferential rights of subscription to the share capital to which the securities issued would give right. You are asked to decide that if the subscriptions on an irreducible basis and, if applicable, on a reducible basis, do not absorb all the ordinary shares and/or securities issued, the Board may offer to the public all or part of the unsubscribed shares. This delegation of authority would be given for a period of 26 months starting from the date of this Shareholders’ Meeting and would replace the delegation given to the Board of Directors at 18th resolution of the General Meeting of May 20, 2020.
