 mail. The right of shareholders to participate in general meetings is subject to the recording (inscription en compte) of their shares on the second business day, 12:00 a.m. (Paris time), preceding the general meeting: • for holders of registered shares: in the registered shareholder account held by the Company or on its behalf by an agent appointed by it; and • for holders of bearer shares: in the bearer shareholder account held by the accredited financial intermediary with whom such holders have deposited their shares; such financial intermediaries shall deliver to holders of bearer shares a shareholding certificate (attestation de participation) enabling them to participate in the general meeting. Attendance in person Any shareholder may attend ordinary general meetings and extraordinary general meetings and exercise its voting rights subject to the conditions specified in the French Commercial Code, the French Civil Code and our Articles of Association.

A shareholder may grant proxies to any natural person or legal entity. The agent may be required to disclose certain information to the shareholder or to the public. A proxy is only valid for one meeting (or by way of exception for two meetings, one being ordinary and the other extraordinary, held on the same day or within a single 15-day period); it remains valid in the event such meeting is convened multiple times for the same agenda, and may be revoked by written statement of the shareholder granting the proxy. Alternatively, the shareholder may send us a blank proxy without nominating any representative. In this case, the chairman of the meeting will vote the blank proxies in favor of all resolutions proposed or approved by the Board of Directors and against all others. With respect to votes by mail, we must send shareholders a voting form upon request or must make
