SHARE CAPITAL

Article 6  Registered Capital

The registered capital is 2,621,995,570 (two billion, six hundred and twenty-one million, nine hundred ninety-five thousand, five hundred and
seventy euros).

It is divided into 1,310,997,785 shares with a par value of 2 each, all of the same class and fully paid.

Article 7 - Form of shares

The
shares are registered or bearer shares, according to the shareholders choice, under the conditions established by applicable legal provisions.

The company may apply legislative and regulatory provisions concerning the identification of holders of securities giving them the immediate or future right to vote.

Any individual or entity, acting individually or jointly, who acquires a number of shares representing a proportion of the capital or of voting rights
equal to or exceeding 1% of the share capital, or any multiple of this percentage, even beyond the minimum declaration limits laid down by the legal and regulatory provisions, must inform the company of the total number of shares and voting rights
held by the individual or entity and also of any securities giving future access to the capital or voting rights which may potentially be attached. Notification is to be made by registered mail, return receipt requested, within five stock exchange
days of the date on which the threshold was reached.

The obligation to notify the company also applies when the shareholders holding of
the capital or voting rights falls to a level below each of those thresholds described in the third paragraph of this article.

The legal
penalties applicable to failure to declare the crossing of a statutory threshold apply equally to a failure to declare the crossing of any threshold stipulated in the articles of association and recorded in the minutes of the shareholders
meeting at the request of one or more shareholders holding at least 5% of the companys share capital or voting rights.

- Conveyance and transfer of shares

of existing shares.
|-- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|2) | Whenever it is necessary to possess a certain number of shares to exercise a right, the owners who do not possess that number of shares are responsible for taking any
steps to combine the number required.
|-- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|3) | Each shareholder has as many votes as the number of shares he owns or represents subject to the provisions below.
|-- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A double voting right is assigned to each registered share that is paid for in full and that has been registered in the name of the same
shareholder for at least two years.

The double vote ceases automatically for any share converted into a bearer share or
transferred from one owner to another, subject to exceptions laid down by law. Bonus shares arising from an increase of share capital by incorporation of reserves, profits or share premiums receive the benefit of the double vote as from the time of
their issue in so far as they have been assigned on the basis of shares already benefiting from this right.
