The Shareholders' Meeting, voting under the quorum and majority conditions required for extraordinary shareholders' meetings, and having reviewed the Management Board's report and the statutory auditors' special report, acting in accordance with articles L. 225-197-1 et seq. of the French Commercial Code:

authorizes the Management Board, with the option to subdelegate under the conditions provided by law, to proceed, on one or more occasions, with the allocation of free existing or newly issued shares (excluding preference shares), to the benefit of the beneficiaries or categories of beneficiaries it shall determine from among the employees of the Company or of companies or entities affiliated with it under the conditions set forth in article L. 225-197-2 of the French Commercial Code, and the corporate officers of the Company or of companies or entities affiliated with it who meet the conditions set forth in article L. 225-197-1, II of the French Commercial Code, under the terms defined below;

resolves that the free allocation of existing or newly issued shares under this authorization may not represent more than 2% of the share capital of the Company on the date of the decision to allocate them by the Management Board, it being specified that the maximum nominal amount of capital increases that may be carried out, immediately or in the future, under this authorization shall count against the global limit set in paragraph 2 of the fifth resolution of the Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of the Company held on 9 December 2024 or, as applicable, against the global limit potentially set by any similar resolution that may replace said resolution during the validity period of this authorization, and in any event, the total number of shares allocated free of charge may not exceed the limits set by articles L. 225-197-1 et seq. of the French Commercial Code. These limits shall be increased, where applicable, by the number of shares to be issued as a result of adjustments required to preserve, in accordance with legal and regulatory provisions and, where applicable, the terms of the plans providing for other preservation mechanisms, the rights of the beneficiaries;

resolves that:

  • the free allocation of shares to beneficiaries shall become final at the end of a vesting period, the duration of which shall be determined by the Management Board, it being specified that such duration may not be shorter than the minimum period required by the legal provisions applicable on the date of the allocation decision (which, as of today, is one year);
  • the shares definitively acquired shall be subject, following the aforementioned vesting period, to a holding obligation, the duration of which shall not be shorter than the minimum period required by the legal provisions applicable on the date of the allocation decision; however, this holding obligation may be waived by the Management Board for shares that have been freely allocated with a vesting period of at least two years;
  • the final acquisition of the freely allocated shares and the ability to dispose of them freely shall nevertheless occur prior to the expiration of the vesting period or, as the case may be, of the holding obligation, in the event of the beneficiary's disability corresponding to classification in the second or third category as defined in article L. 341-4 of the French Social Security Code, or in the case of an equivalent classification under foreign legislation;

resolves that the Management Board may decide to make the final allocation of freely allotted shares subject, or not, to the achievement of one or more performance conditions, as may be determined by the Management Board;

grants full powers to the Management Board, with the option to subdelegate under the conditions permitted by law, to implement this authorization and, in particular, to:

  • determine whether the freely allocated shares shall consist of newly issued shares and/or existing shares, and, where applicable, modify its choice prior to the final allocation of the shares;
  • determine the identity of the beneficiaries, or the category or categories of beneficiaries, of the share allocations from among the employees and corporate officers of the Company or the aforementioned affiliated companies or entities, and the number of shares allocated to each of them;
  • set the terms and, where applicable, the criteria for the allocation of the shares, including the minimum vesting period and the required holding period for each beneficiary, in accordance with the conditions set forth above, it being specified that with respect to the shares freely allocated to corporate officers, the Supervisory Board must either (a) decide that the shares thus granted may not be transferred by the beneficiaries until they cease to hold office, or (b) determine the number of shares that must be held in registered form by the beneficiaries until the end of their term of office;
  • provide for the temporary suspension of allocation rights;
  • record the dates on which the allocations become final and the dates from which the shares may be freely transferred, in compliance with legal restrictions;
  • register the freely allocated shares in a registered account in the name of the holder, indicating any applicable restrictions on availability and their duration, and waive such restrictions in any circumstance where allowed under applicable regulations;

resolves that the Management Board shall also have, with the option to subdelegate under the conditions permitted by law, all powers to deduct, where applicable, in the event of the issuance of new shares, from reserves, retained earnings or share premiums, the amounts necessary to fully pay up said shares, to record the completion of share capital increases carried out pursuant to this authorization, to amend the Company's articles of association accordingly, and more generally to carry out any acts and formalities necessary;

resolves that the Company may, where applicable, proceed with adjustments to the number of shares freely allocated as may be necessary to preserve the rights of the beneficiaries, in light of any transactions affecting the share capital or shareholders' equity of the Company, in particular in the event of a change in the nominal value of shares, allocation of free shares, issuance of new equity securities with preferential subscription rights, stock splits or reverse stock splits, distributions of reserves, share premiums or any other assets, amortization of the share capital, changes in profit allocation through the issuance of preference shares, or any other transaction affecting shareholders' equity or share capital and/or in the event of a change of control). It is specified that the shares allocated pursuant to such adjustments shall be deemed to have been allocated on the same date as the initially allocated shares;

acknowledges that, in the event of the free allocation of newly issued shares, this authorization shall entail, upon final allocation of said shares, a share capital increase through the capitalization of reserves, retained earnings or share premiums, for the benefit of the beneficiaries of said shares, and a corresponding waiver by the shareholders of their preferential subscription rights to such shares in favor of said beneficiaries;

acknowledges that, in the event the Management Board makes use of this authorization, it shall report each year to the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting on the transactions carried out pursuant to the provisions of articles L. 225-197-1 to L. 225-197-3 of the French Commercial Code, in accordance with the conditions set forth in article L. 225-197-4 of the French Commercial Code;

resolves that this authorization is given to the Management Board for a period of twenty-six (26) months as from the date of this Shareholders' Meeting;

resolves that this authorization supersedes, as of today and up to the unused portion, where applicable, any prior authorization having the same purpose, namely any authorization to proceed with the free allocation of existing or newly issued shares to employees and corporate officers of the group, or certain among them.
