The authorization granted by the Shareholders' Meeting of April 25, 2018 to the Executive Board to carry out transactions in the Company's shares expires on October 24, 2019. The 15 th resolution asks shareholders to authorize the Executive Board once again, for a period of 18 months, to carry out transactions in the Company's shares subject to a maximum purchase price per share of €100. This authorization would enable the Executive Board to purchase shares with a view to: canceling them; market-making in the Company's shares under a liquidity contract; granting shares to employees and corporate officers of the Company and/or current or future affiliates; remitting or exchanging them when the rights attached to debt instruments that entitle holders to receive Company shares are exercised, and particularly with respect to exercising share purchase options, granting free shares or profit-sharing; using them in undertaking any other transaction approved or recognized by the law and/or the Financial Markets Authority and any goals consistent with prevailing regulations.

The Company may also use this authorization with a view to retaining or using shares in exchange or as payment for potential future acquisitions. These transactions may not be performed during a takeover period. During such a period, transactions may only be performed to allow the Company to satisfy prior commitments or if the buyback transactions are performed under a prevailing independent share purchase mandate. It is recalled that the Company directly owned 2,354,845 shares as of December 31, 2018, representing 3.08% of its share capital. In accordance with prevailing laws and regulations, these shares do not confer dividend or voting rights.
