Any shareholder, irrespective of the number of shares he possesses, is entitled to participate in Ordinary or Extraordinary General Meetings of Shareholders:

• The Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders must take place at least once a year. Its role is specifically to approve the accounts of the past financial year, to fix the amount of the dividend, appoint or renew the Members of the Supervisory Board.
• The Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders decides on matters relative to the modification of the company's Articles of Association and regarding the majority of financial transactions, particularly those directly concerning shares (increase in share capital, free allotment of shares, issue of securities, etc.)

Participation in the meetings:

All shareholders, regardless of the number of shares they own, may participate in the meeting by attending in person, absentee voting, or having themselves represented by the person of their choosing, for example by giving powers to the Chairman of the meeting.

By law, the right to participate in the meeting is justified by accounting entries, in a three-day period before the related general meeting at 0:00 Paris time, of the shares in the name of the shareholder or in the name of the Registered Intermediary acting on their behalf, in the registered securities accounts held for the Company by its representative, BNP PARISBAS SECURITIES SERVICES, les Grands Moulins de Pantin - 9, rue du Débarcadère - 93761 Pantin.

Means of Participating in the meetings:

1° - Shareholders wishing to attend the meetings in person may:

- either request an admission card using the form that must be sent to them with the notice of call (convening notice), after filling it out, signing it and mailing it back to BNP PARIBAS SECURITIES SERVICES using the postage-paid reply envelope that must be enclosed with the notice of call;

- or, for the shareholders who have registered securities accounts held by the Company, appear, in person on the meeting date with a valid ID, at the counters that is provided especially for that purpose.

Requests for admission cards made by shareholders who are not domiciled in French territory, for whom an intermediary has been registered on their behalf in the Company's registered securities accounts (Article L.228-1, clause 7 in the Commercial Code) held by their representative, BNP PARIBAS SECURITIES SERVICES, must be sent to this latter through their Registered Intermediary (usually a custodian or global custodian), and, to be counted, must be accompanied by a certificate from said Registered Intermediary, such that the Company or its representative may verify their shareholder status without any possible dispute on the Record Date, i.e. in a three-day period before the date of the meeting.

Should the shares be held by several intermediaries in succession, a certificate must be prepared by each of those intermediaries.

2° - Shareholders who cannot or do not wish to personally attend the meetings then have the option:

- of absentee voting using the form that must be sent to them with the notice of call;

- of sending a power of attorney to the Company without naming a proxy, using the form that must be sent with the notice of call, which will be equivalent to giving powers to the Chairman of the Meeting to issue a vote in favour of the resolutions presented or approved by the Managing Partners;

- of being represented by any person of their choosing:

- either using the form that must be sent with the notice of call;

- or by sending an e-mail to the electronic address of the Company which will be given on the occasion of the meeting. This e-mail must contain their full name, address, and ID with BNP PARIBAS SECURITIES SERVICES (appearing in the top right hand corner of the form), as well as the full name and address of the appointed proxy; this e-mail must be signed electronically using an electronic signature process created by a reliable process of identifying the shareholder and guaranteeing his/her link with the content of the e-mail to which it is attached (Article 1316-4 of the Civil Code); the shareholder is responsible for obtaining the electronic signature certificates or keys. The power of attorney so given may be revoked using the same procedure, by e-mail to the same electronic address ; such address must be used only for reporting or revoking the power of attorney, and any other requests or notifications related to any other objects will not be acknowledged and/or processed.

All of the Company's shares are registered; so, admission card request forms, absentee voting forms, and power of attorney forms, and the postage-paid reply envelopes provided for that purpose, are sent with the notice of call to all shareholders who are registered in the Company's registered securities account.

In order to be counted:

- admission card request forms and absentee voting forms must be filled out, signed, and received by BNP PARIBAS SECURITIES SERVICES no later than three days before the meeting;

- notices issuing or cancelling a power of attorney, sent by e-mail and signed electronically, must be received not later than the day before the meeting;

Absentee ballots and powers of attorney issued by shareholders not domiciled in French territory, for whom a Registered Intermediary has been registered on their behalf in the Company's registered securities accounts, must be sent to BNP PARIBAS SECURITIES SERVICES via their Registered Intermediary, and cannot be taken into account by it unless the identity of the corresponding shareholders has been disclosed to it, either voluntarily or at the request of the Company or its representative, pursuant to French law.

3° - Once the shareholder has expressed a wish to vote by post or proxy or has requested an attendance card, he or she may not choose to participate at the meeting by any other method.

Should the shares be held by means of several intermediaries in succession, a certificate must be prepared by each of those intermediaries; these certificates must accompany the request, be sent by the Registered Intermediary registered in the Company's securities accounts, and be renewed at the Record Date.

The text of any draft resolutions presented by said shareholders, as well as the list of any items added to the agenda, is published on the Company's website.
