Directors must, within four months following approval of the financial statements revealing such losses, call an Extraordinary General
Meeting to decide on early dissolution of the company. The resolution adopted by the Meeting is published and requires statutory formalities to be carried out.

the event that the company is not declared to be wound up, the company must, not later than the closing of the second accounting year following the year the losses are reported and
subject to legal provisions concerning minimum capital for Corporations, reduce its capital by an amount at least equal to that of the losses which were not withdrawn from reserves unless within this
time period, the shareholders' equity has been reconstituted to an amount not less than half the authorised capital.

In
the absence of a General Meeting or should the Meeting fail to take a valid decision after the second quorum, all interested parties can bring proceedings for the company to be wound
up. This is also the case if the provisions of paragraph 2 herein above have not been applied. In all cases, the Court can grant the company a maximum period of six months to remedy the
situation. However, the court cannot declare the company to be dissolved, should the situation be remedied on the day of the ruling.

Article 29DissolutionLiquidation

When the duration of the company expires or in the case of winding up by decision of the Extraordinary General Meeting, the Ordinary General meeting shall, on a
proposal by the Board of Directors, decide on the manner of liquidation and appoint one or several liquidators whose powers it shall also determine.

The
aim of the liquidators is to sell off, even amicably, all tangible and intangible assets of the company and pay off debts.

Save
for restrictions imposed by the General Meeting, the liquidators have, by virtue of their capacity alone, the broadest powers in accordance with Laws and commercial practices, which
include those of handling, agreeing to and granting all guarantees, even mortgage securities, and if need be, agreeing to release of liens with or without payment.

An
Extraordinary General Meeting is necessary in the case of a global sale of assets, contribution of the assets to another company, mergers, spin-offs and modifications of
the Articles for the requirements of the liquidation.

In
the event of death, resignation or impediment of the liquidator(s), the Meeting convened by the most diligent shareholder shall deal with his or their replacement.

After
reimbursement of all the company creditors, the surplus after liquidation is equally distributed among all shareholders in proportion to the share of capital they represent.

or the Auditors, or between the shareholders themselves in relation to the business, shall be settled by the competent Commercial Courts.
