In the event of an issue of new shares following the exercise of Warrants, the Company will issue them as soon as possible, taking into account the necessary administrative formalities.

In the event the Company carries out a capital increase by way of a contribution in cash before the final date foreseen for the exercise of the Warrants, the Warrant holders will not have the option to exercise their subscription right in advance in order to possibly participate in the new issue as shareholders, to the extent that this right belongs to the existing shareholders. |
