9.2 PERSONS RESPONSIBLE FOR AUDITING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AFR

Grant Thornton Audit Member of the Compagnie Régionale des Commissaires aux Comptes de Versailles. 29, rue du Pont 92200 Neuilly‑sur‑Seine Represented by: MrVincent Frambourt First appointed: Ordinary General Meeting of 31May 1999. Term of current office: Ordinary General Meeting called to approve the financial statements for 2022 (Renewal proposed to the meeting). European regulations applicable to listed companies limit the maximum cumulative term of office of a joint Statutory Auditor to 24 years. At its meeting of 28 July 2021, the Audit and Risk Committee noted that: The mandate of Grant Thornton Audit (now Didier Kling & Associés) began on 31 May 1999 and had therefore been in effect for 24 years as at 31 December 2022; s The transitional provisions of European Regulation No. 537/2014 of 16 April 2014 (Article 41), provide that from 17 June 2023, the term of a joint Statutory Auditor of a listed company cannot be renewed if, at 17 June 2016 (date of entry into force of the regulation), the term has been held for at least 11 but less than 20 consecutive years, which is the case of Grant Thornton Audit; s As the General Meeting will be held on 20 April 2023, i.e. before 17 June 2023, the term of Grant Thornton Audit may therefore be renewed for a final term. This analysis was confirmed in writing by the French Auditors Supervisory Body ( Haut Conseil du Commissariat aux Comptes (H3C) ). s
