The indirect upward crossing, by the members of the enlarged concert (through Cogelec Développement), of the thresholds of 30% of the share capital and voting rights of Cogelec was the subject of the decision of the French financial markets authority (the "AMF") dated July 21, 2021 (No. 221C1838) that there were no grounds for filing a mandatory public offer for the Cogelec shares.

The summary of the main clauses of the shareholders' agreement, drawn up under the responsibility of its signatories, was included in extenso in the abovementioned AMF decision.
