RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE IN RELATION TO THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Management is responsible for the preparation of the combined financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of combined financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the combined financial statements, it is the responsibility of management to make an assessment of the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, to disclose in those financial statements, where appropriate, necessary information relating to the going concern basis of accounting and to apply the going concern basis of accounting unless the company is to be wound up or cease trading. It is the responsibility of the caudit and risk committee monitoring the financial reporting process and the effectiveness of internal control and risk management systems and, where appropriate, internal audit, in respect of procedures relating to the preparation and processing of accounting and financial information. The combined financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors.

STATUTORY AUDITORS’ RESPONSIBILITIES RELATING TO THE AUDIT OF THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Audit objective and approach Our responsibility is to issue a report on the combined financial statements. Our objective is to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements, taken as a whole, are free from material misstatement. Reasonable assurance means a high level of assurance, but does not mean that an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards would identify all material misstatements. Misstatements may be the result of fraud or error and are considered material when it is reasonable to expect that they could, individually or in aggregate, influence the economic decisions that users of the financial statements make on the basis of the financial statements. As specified in Article L. 821 ‑ 55 of the French Commercial Code, our role in certifying the financial statements is not to guarantee the viability or quality of the management of your company. In an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France, the statutory auditor exercises professional judgement throughout the audit. In addition: identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the combined financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures to address those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for the audit opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to error, because fraud may involve collusion, falsification, deliberate omission, misrepresentation or circumvention of internal control; ❯ obtaining an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control; ❯ it assesses the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as the related disclosures in the combined financial statements; ❯ it assesses the appropriateness of management’s application of the going concern accounting policy and, based on the information obtained, whether there is any material uncertainty related to events or circumstances that may affect the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. This assessment is based on information gathered up to the date of the report, bearing in mind that subsequent events or circumstances could call into question the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If the auditor concludes that there is a material uncertainty, he draws the attention of the readers of his report to the information provided in the combined financial statements concerning this uncertainty or, if this information is not provided or is not relevant, he issues a qualified opinion or a refusal to certify; ❯ assessing the overall presentation of the combined financial statements and evaluating whether the combined financial statements give a true and fair view of the underlying transactions and events; ❯
