General company information
– In the event that shareholders vote by proxy, only those proxy votes
that have arrived at the company at least 3 days prior to the date of
the Shareholders’ Meeting will be counted.
Moreover, the attendance of a shareholder at the Annual General
Meeting shall consequently render null and void the postal vote
and/or the form of proxy which said shareholder may have, where
appropriate, sent to the company; the shareholder’s presence
shall override any other form of participation which he may have
previously chosen. If the shareholder is not present at the meeting,
his power of attorney is only taken into consideration with respect
to the votes cast in his proxy voting form, if one has been submitted.
Article 9 – Disclosure Requirements
– Shares are freely tradable in the absence of any legal or regulatory
provisions to the contrary.
– Shares are delivered by transfer from one account to another
according to the terms and conditions set forth by regulations.
– The company’s shares are indivisible.
– If a specific quantity of existing shares is required for a shareholder
to exercise rights, or if existing shares are exchanged or issued which
grant the right to a new share in return for the redemption of several
existing shares, any odd-lot shares or shares that fall short of the
minimumnumber required will not provide shareholders with rights
vis-à-vis the company, as it is up to the shareholders to gather the
required number of shares and, if possible, to buy or sell the required
number of shares.
– Without prejudice to the provisions covered in article 356-1 of law
no. 66-537 of July 24, 1966, any person who owns or acquires at least
3% of share capital either directly or indirectly, as set forth under
the provisions of said article 356-1, must report the total number
of shares that he owns by recorded delivery with confirmation of
receipt to the company’s registered office within 15 days of this 3%
threshold being exceeded.
Shareholders are also required to inform the company within the
same time period should their stake dip below the aforementioned
thresholds.
In the event that beneficial share ownership is not reported in
accordance with the aforementioned procedures, the shares that
exceed the reporting threshold shall be deprived of voting rights for all
Shareholders’ Meetings held within a period of up to 3 months after
the date the declaration of beneficial ownership is finally made in
accordance with the proper procedures, by one or more shareholders
who jointly own at least 5% of share capital, as recorded in theminutes
of the Shareholders’ General Meeting.
