that allows shareholders to be identified and complies with the terms and conditions prescribed by the applicable
regulations are deemed present for the purpose of calculating the quorum and voting majority.
21.2.6 Articles of the bylaws likely to have an impact on a change in control

21.2.7 Disclosure thresholds (Article 12 of the bylaws)
Any individual or legal entity, acting alone or in concert, that comes to hold or control, directly or indirectly, a
number of shares representing 1% or more of the Company’s capital or voting rights must disclose to the
Company, within five trading days of the date the threshold was crossed, the total number of shares and voting
rights held, as well as the number of securities convertible, redeemable, exchangeable or otherwise exercisable
for shares. The disclosure must be made by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by any equivalent method
outside France in the case of non-resident shareholders.
The same disclosure formalities must be carried out whenever the portion of capital or voting rights held
increases or decreases by any multiple of 1%.
In the event of failure to comply with these disclosure requirements, the shares in excess of the relevant threshold
will be stripped of voting rights for all Shareholders’ Meetings held within the two-year period from the date
when the omission is remedied, at the request of one or more shareholders holding at least 1% of the Company’s
capital or voting rights, as evidenced in the minutes of the Shareholders’ Meeting.
21.2.8 Specific provisions governing changes in the Company’s share capital
As there are no specific provisions in the Company’s bylaws relating to this issue, any changes in the Company’s
share capital are subject to the provisions of the applicable laws governing French joint-stock corporations.
21.2.9 Form of shares and identification of shareholders (Article 9 of the bylaws)
Except as provided by law, fully paid shares can take the form of registered or bearer shares, at the option of the
shareholder. However, they must be held in registered form until they are fully paid.
The Company is entitled to request at any time, under the terms and conditions provided for by the applicable
laws and regulations, that the securities clearing house provide it with the name, address, nationality, date of birth
(or, in the case of corporate shareholders, the year of incorporation), of holders of bearer shares and other
securities redeemable, exchangeable, convertible or otherwise exercisable for shares carrying rights to vote at
Shareholders’ Meetings, as well as the number of shares held by each party and any restrictions applicable to the
securities.
After reviewing the information provided by the clearing house, if the Company believes that individuals or legal
entities featured on the list may be holding securities on behalf of third parties, it is entitled to request the
clearing house, or the listed parties themselves, under the same terms and conditions, whether they are holding
the securities on their own account or on behalf of a third party, and if so, to provide the Company with
information identifying those third parties. If the identity of the owner(s) of the relevant shares is not disclosed,
any vote or proxy issued by the registered intermediary will not be recognized.
