Pursuant to the statutory provisions, the declarations only include shares greater than 0.5% of the capital. For the same respondent, the most recent declaration
is reported. Declarations dating back more than two years which have not been updated are no longer taken into account .
Although there is only one class of share, shares held for 10 years in registered form are entitled to double voting rights.
