(1) The LTIP 2016 plan rules, as designed by the Board of Directors of April 29, 2016, provided that the annual Adjusted EBITDA and Group Free Cash Flow objectives would be those announced to the market in February of each year. The Board of Directors took note of two issues relating to this rule. Firstly, following the December 18, 2017 announcement of the sale of the Patent Licensing business, the latter is considered as discontinued operations or held for sale operations. Hence, there is a gap between (i) the objectives announced in February 2017 which included the Patent Licensing business and (ii) the achievement of objectives announced in February 2018 which did not include the Patent Licensing business. Secondly, as the Company did not release an annual guidance but only a medium-term guidance (2020), rules provided by the plan referring to the annual guidance announced in February are not relevant anymore. Pursuant to the AFEP-MEDEF Code, exceptional circumstances as a substantial change to scope justify modifying the performance conditions during the period of assessment. The Board of Directors considered therefore that the sale of Patent Licensing business and the end of the annual guidance constitute exceptional circumstances. The LTIP 2016 plan rules were thus amended to provide that: the Adjusted EBITDA and Group Free Cash Flow objectives for 2017 should be restated by excluding the Patent Licensing ■ contribution. (the 2017 Adjusted EBITDA objective is thus €326 million and the 2017 group Free Cash Flow objective is €32 million); the Adjusted EBITDA and Group Free Cash Flow objectives for 2018 is determined by the Board of Directors in February 2018, in line ■ with the annual budget.

Review of the level of achievement of the performance condition

Review of this achievement shall be realized in 2019 by the Board
