The latter authorisation was granted to the Board of Directors for a new period of 18 months. Pursuant to Articles 241-1 to 241-6 of the AMF general regulation and European regulation (EC) No. 596/2014 of 16 April 2014, supplemented with the Commission Delegated regulation (EU) 2016/1052 of 8 March 2016, this document outlines the goals and procedures of the programme, which are identical to those of the previous programme, namely: l ensuring the market-making on the secondary market or the liquidity of the Compagnie des Alpes share by an investment service provider under a liquidity contract, in compliance with an AMF-recognised Ethics Charter; l holding, selling or transferring the aforesaid shares by any means, especially through exchange or delivery of securities, particularly in the framework of acquisitions or the issuance of securities giving access to capital;

l attributing shares to employees and corporate officers of the Company, or of companies or groups to which the Company is related, under the conditions and in accordance with the procedures provided for in law, especially through income from Company acquisitions, stock options, the award of free shares, a Group or company savings scheme or an optional plan for an employee- employer savings partnership. During the 2019/2020 fiscal year, the share buyback programme was used for the market-making of the share under the liquidity contract in force – see below. 6.1.2.2 Liquidity contract A new liquidity agreement was signed on 15 October 2020 with the investment services provider Oddo BHF SCA, ending the previous agreement concluded on 28 September 2016 with Oddo & Cie, following the regulatory change (in particular AMF decision no. 2018- 01 of 2 July 2018 on liquidity contracts and the introduction of new market practices) requiring the adoption of a wording in line with the new provisions. It can be renewed by tacit consent for successive one-year periods.
