As one of the beneficiaries was no longer part of the Group’s headcount on that date, the Board of Management meeting of July 11, 2019 noted the cancellation of the 50 preferred shares that had been allocated to him, thus reducing the number of preferred shares making up the plan to 3,814. The Board of Management meeting of July 11, 2019 then decided to create 3,722 preferred shares out of the 3,814 liable to be created, 92 preferred shares having been subject to a deferred vesting period (one year) for which certain beneficiaries whose compensation is taxable outside France have opted; they will be issued on July 11, 2020 before their conversion into ordinary shares.

Subject to the presence of the beneficiaries in the Group’s headcount and if the performance condition is fully met, the 3,814 preferred shares will be converted into 381,400 ordinary shares. If the AAORR achievement rate is zero or less than 100% or if the beneficiary has left the Group, the preferred shares that are not converted may be bought back by the Company at par value with a view to their cancellation.
