Issues of securities (general case) In the twentieth, twenty‑first and twenty‑second resolutions, we ask you to renew a certain number of resolutions delegating to the Executive Management the authority to decide on various issues of the Company’s securities with or without preemptive subscription rights. These resolutions are designed, as provided by law, to give the Executive Management the necessary flexibility to act in the best interests of the Company, under the control of the Supervisory Board of the Company as well as the Executive Management Board of Émile Hermès SAS, Active Partner. The diversity of financial products and the rapid changes in the markets require the greatest flexibility in order to choose the most favourable issuance methods for the Company and its shareholders, in order to quickly carry out transactions according to the opportunities that may arise.
