Highlights of the year (French Commercial Code – Article R.123-196-3)

Implementation of a share buyback programme On 31 May 2018, the Board of directors decided to implement the share buyback programme decided by the General Meeting of Shareholders of 31 May 2018 in its ninth resolution for an

18-month period starting from 1 June 2018. The purpose of the buyback programme is to:

• stimulate the trading of M.R.M. securities on the secondary market, or the liquidity of M.R.M. shares via a liquidity contract concluded with an investment services provider in accordance with the ethics charter of the AMAFI (French association of financial markets) recognised by regulations in force, bearing in mind that the number of shares taken into account for the aforementioned calculation corresponds to the number of shares acquired minus the amount sold; • retain shares for subsequent payment or exchange purposes in the event of acquisitions; • ensure the hedging of stock option plans and/or bonus share plans (or similar) reserved for employees and/or corporate officers of the Group, as well as any share allocations under company or group savings plans (or similar plan), employee profit-sharing and/or any other form of allocation of shares to employees and/or corporate officers of the Group; • ensure the hedging of securities giving access to the Company’s shares in accordance with regulations in force; • cancel all or part of the shares that would be acquired, in accordance with the authorisation granted on 1 June 2017 by the General Meeting in its seventeenth extraordinary resolution. The above goals are presented without prejudice to the actual order in which the authorisation to buy back shares is used, something that would be dependent on needs and opportunities.
