21.3.2 Dividend distribution policy<br />

The Board of Directors determines the dividend payment policy based on a review of the Company’s earnings<br />

and financial position and other factors. At the Shareholders’ Meeting to be held on May 29, 2008, the Board will<br />

recommend the payment of a €0.31 dividend per share. The Company expects its dividend distribution policy to<br />

be consistent with its expansion strategy in 2008. This does not, however, represent any commitment on the<br />

Company’s part, which may decide to reduce its dividend distribution, or not make any dividend payment,<br />

depending on its financial results, capital expenditure requirements, and level of debt.<br />

21.3.3 Statute of limitations for dividends<br />

Dividends that have not been claimed within five years are time-barred and are remitted to the French State.<br />
