 Our French subsidiaries’ business may be subject to several laws in the field of publishing, in particular: •the Law of 28 July 1881 on the freedom of the press (“ Act 1881”) whose main rules are based on the principle of the freedom of printing and of booksellers, and on the freedom of speech enshrined in the 1789 French Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizens; •copyright law (particularly for journalists, photographers, and illustrators), the rules of which are codified in the French Intellectual Property Code. In this area, several French texts have transposed Directive (EU) 2019/790 of 17 April 2019 on copyright and related rights in the Digital Single Market; •deposit requirements applying to press publishers i.e., (i) administrative deposit obligations for national press organs, i.e., for periodicals with national circulation (Act 1881) and (ii) legal deposit obligations for periodicals, which concern written material of any kind and are the responsibility of both publishers and printers under the French Heritage Code (“ FHC”, Code du Patrimoine). This deposit is organized by region and is carried out at the Bibliothèque nationale de France(BNF) for the Île -de -Franceregion; •the Act 1881, the Law of 1 August 1986 on freedom of communication (“ Loi Léotard”) and the Law of 21 June 2004 on confidence in the digital economy (“ LCEN”) that lay down a certain number of compulsory information that publishers must include on each publication.

Together with the Digital Service Act, this same law requires the implementation of measures to fight online hate; •the Law of 4 January 2010 that protects the confidentiality of journalists’ sources, and the Law of 14 November 2016 that requires press companies to introduce an ethics charter within their business; •obligations applying to advertising, in particular as regards the distinction between advertising space and editorial content ( Loi Léotard) and the obligation to identify online advertising (LCEN). Distribution of audiovisual works Our French subsidiaries interested in distributing audiovisual works may have to comply in particular to the following rules (some of which are genuinely specific to France): •copyright law, the rules of which are codified in the French Intellectual Property Code; •the principle of release window schedule ( chronologie des médias), which governs the
