PROCEDURE IMPLEMENTED UNDER 3.3.1.1 ARTICLE L. 22-10-12 OF THE FRENCH COMMERCIAL CODE In accordance with the legal provisions and on the recommendation of the Audit Committee, on December 10, 2021 the Board of Directors adopted a charter relating to the identification and evaluation of related-party agreements and free agreements whose purpose is to specify the methodology and criteria to be applied for the classification of related-party agreements and commitments relating to current agreements and entered into under arm’s length conditions by the Company and fulfilling these conditions. It may be amended at any time by the Board of Directors, in particular to take into account any legislative and regulatory changes. In accordance with the law, agreements entered into between the persons referred to in Article L. 225-38 of the French Commercial Code (agreement entered into directly or through an intermediary between the Company and its Chief Executive Officer, one of its Managing Directors, one of its directors, one of its shareholders holding a fraction of the voting rights greater than 10% or, in the case of a corporate shareholder, the Company controlling it within the meaning of Article L. 233-3 of the French Commercial Code), relating to current agreements and entered into under arm’s length conditions, are not subject to prior authorization by the Board of Directors. The charter provides for the following procedure: The Legal and Financial Departments, informed of any draft agreement that may be qualified as a related-party agreement or a current agreement, are responsible for analyzing the characteristics of said agreement and thus submitting it either to the authorization and control procedure provided for related-party agreements, or classifying it as a an agreement relating to ordinary transactions concluded under arm’s length conditions. This procedure also provides for an annual review by the Audit Committee of agreements classified as current transactions entered into under arm’s length conditions based on the accounting entries recorded during the previous fiscal year. This review is carried out in the light of the criteria specified in the charter enabling a current agreement to be classified as under arm’s length conditions. Each year, the Audit Committee also examines the relevance of the criteria used to classify a current agreement entered into under arm’s length conditions, specified in the charter. The Audit Committee reports on its work to the Board of Directors, which ensures, on the basis of these reports, that the aforementioned agreements relating to day-to-day transactions and entered into under arm’s length conditions meet these conditions. In this context, the Board of Directors may either confirm the classification as a current agreement entered into under arm’s length conditions, or consider that the agreement in question must be subject to the related-party agreement procedure and therefore be subject to its ratification. In compliance with the regulations, the persons directly or indirectly interested in one of the aforementioned agreements do not take part in the discussions or in the decision-making relating to their assessment.
