ITEM 4. Ownership.

The information requested hereinafter is set forth in items 5 through 9 and 11 of the cover pages to this Schedule 13G. Ownership is stated as of March 31, 2015 and the ownership percentages are based on 59,205,000 ordinary shares outstanding as of January 16, 2015, which was the last public announcement of Criteo of its total outstanding shares.

(A) FCPR Elaia Ventures (“ Elaia Ventures ”) is the record owner of 644,587 ordinary shares. FCPI 123 Multinova IV Compartiment Dynamique is the record owner of 273,165 ordinary shares and FCPI 123 Multinova IV Compartiment Equilibre (collectively, the “ 123 Funds ” and together with Elaia Ventures, the “ Funds ”) is the record owner of 135,659 ordinary shares.

As the general partner of Elaia Ventures, Elaia Partners may be deemed to have shared dispositive power and shared voting power over all of the shares owned by Elaia Ventures.

As the general partner of each of the 123 Funds, 123 Venture S.A. may be deemed to have shared dispositive power and shared voting power over all of the shares owned by the 123 Funds.

Philippe Gire and Xavier Lazarus are the partners of Elaia Partners and as such, may be deemed to have shared voting, investment and dispositive power with respect to the shares held by the Funds, for U.S. securities laws purposes. However, neither Mr. Gire nor Mr. Lazarus have individual voting control over Elaia Partners. Investment discretion and voting power reside in the investment committee of Elaia Partners and neither Mr. Gire nor Mr. Lazarus are able to exercise control over decisions made by the investment committee and, as a result, such persons are not able to control voting, investment or disposition decisions concerning the ordinary shares of Criteo held by the Funds. Each of Mr. Gire and Mr. Lazarus disclaim beneficial ownership with respect to such shares except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein.

(B) The reporting person is a fund specialized in venture capital ( Fonds Commun de Placements à Risques ) without legal personality under French law, which closely resembles a partnership.

(C) The reporting person is a fund specialized in venture capital ( Fonds Commun de Placements dans l’Innovation ) without legal personality under French law, which closely resembles a partnership.
