(Articles 6 and 8.4 of the by-laws) All shares are of the same category and benefit from the same rights, including profit sharing and the division of assets upon liquidation. For Shareholders’ Meetings, each share gives the right to one vote. Therefore, no shareholder enjoys double voting rights. 7.1.1.3 Appropriation of earnings (Articles 21 and 22 of the by-laws) Five percent of each year’s net income, less losses carried forward (where applicable), is appropriated to the legal reserve; this appropriation ceases to be obligatory when the reserves rise to the level of one tenth of the share capital. After the appropriation of the legal reserve, the Shareholders’ Meeting, on the proposition of the Board of Directors, may appropriate amounts they choose, either to retained earnings or to one or more reserve accounts (optional, ordinary or extraordinary). Income available for distribution is comprised of the net income for the year minus the losses carried forward and the amounts appropriated to reserves in application of the law or the by-laws, plus retained earnings. After approval of the financial statements and recognition of the amount available for distribution, the Shareholders’ Meeting may determine the part to be distributed in the form of dividends. The Shareholders’ Meeting may further decide to distribute amounts to be sourced from available reserves, either to supply funds for dividends or to complete a dividend, or for the purpose of making an exceptional distribution. In this case, the decision will indicate the reserve accounts from which the funds will be taken. However, as a priority, dividends will be paid from the earnings available for distribution from the year under review. The payment method for dividends is fixed by the Shareholders’ Meeting, or otherwise by the Board of Directors. The Shareholders’ Meeting may notably grant to each shareholder, for all or a part of the dividend or partial payment of dividend to be paid, a choice between payment in the form of cash or in the form of shares.
