As at 24 July 2014, the Company held 29,933 treasury shares, or 0.1% of its share capital.
On this date, all of these shares were used for market-making purposes to ensure the liquidity of the Axway Software share under a liquidity agreement, which complies with the Code of Ethics drawn up by the Association Française des Marchés Financiers (AMAFI), and approved by the AMF.

Shares may be purchased pursuant to the share repurchase programme up to the limit of 10% of the company's share capital, i.e. 2,055, 581 shares to date.
