➔ Stockholders’ Meetings (Article 11 of the bylaws)<br />

Notice of Meeting<br />

Stockholders’ meetings are held either at the Company’s registered<br />

office or at any other location specified in the Notice of Meeting, which<br />

is prepared in compliance with the applicable legislation.<br />

Double voting rights<br />

Fully paid-up shares registered in the name of the same stockholder for<br />

at least four years carry double voting rights.<br />

This system was maintained following the 1972 change in<br />

Peugeot S.A.’s governance structure, from a company with a Board of<br />

Directors to one with a Managing Board and a Supervisory Board. The<br />

vesting period was increased from two to four years at an Extraordinary<br />

Stockholders’ Meeting on June 29, 1987. In the event of a bonus share<br />

issue paid up by capitalizing reserves, net income or additional paid-in<br />

capital, the bonus shares issued in respect of shares carrying double<br />

voting rights will be eligible for double voting rights from issue. As<br />

prescribed by law, double voting rights are stripped from all shares<br />

converted into bearer shares or sold, except when the transfer of<br />

ownership results from an inheritance, a divorce, or a gift to a spouse<br />

or other relative in the direct line of succession.<br />

Disclosure thresholds (Article 7 of the bylaws)<br />

In addition to complying with the disclosure requirements prescribed by<br />

law, any company or natural person that becomes the direct or indirect<br />

holder of shares representing more than 2% of the capital is required to<br />

disclose their total interest to the Company within five calendar days of<br />

the date on which the shares are recorded in their account. Each<br />

additional 1% of the capital acquired must also be disclosed. These<br />

disclosure rules, which are specified in the bylaws, apply even in the<br />

case of interests in excess of the first legal disclosure threshold of 5%.<br />

In the case of non-disclosure, at the request of one or several<br />

stockholders together holding at least 5% of the capital, the undisclosed<br />

shares will be stripped of voting rights for a period of two years from<br />

the date on which the omission is remedied.<br />

There are no other bylaw clauses limiting voting rights.<br />
