FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1 - General information

Effects of these events on the financial statements at December 31, 2020 The Group considered the New Money debt, the conversion of part of the existing debt to equity, and the restructuring of the remaining debt after conversion to be a single complex transaction with multiple elements. This transaction resulted in: derecognition of the previous debt; • receipt of the proceeds, net of fees, from the New Money; • recognition of new financial debt (New Money and Reinstated Term • Loans); issuance of equity instruments to lenders (shares and New Money • warrants). The new instruments are recognized at fair value on the date of the various transactions, with the amounts being different from the nominal amounts or the amounts net of fees presented in the description of the safeguard plan. As the various transactions which permitted the implementation of the New Money debt should be analyzed as a whole, the initial fair value of the New Money and the associated warrants was not presumed to be equal to the cash received but measured according to available market data. The difference between the derecognized debt and the new resources obtained was recognized in financial income (“Proceeds from financial restructuring”), in accordance with the IFRS applicable to financial restructuring operations (IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments, IFRIC 19 – Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments).
