**<u>ARTICLE 7 - INCREASE OF THE REGISTERED CAPITAL</u>**

The registered capital may be increased pursuant to applicable law, subject to report by the Board, by a resolution of the general meeting of the shareholders adopted in accordance with the quorum and majority requirements under applicable law.

The general meeting of shareholders may delegate to the Board its authority to resolve to increase the registered capital within the limits set by such meeting, or the powers necessary to carry out, in one or more times, the issuance of all or any class of securities, to determine the amount or amounts thereof, to certify the completion thereof, to effect any reduction or amortization of the registered capital, and to amend the bylaws accordingly. The shareholders shall have, in proportion to the number of shares they hold, a preemptive right to subscribe for shares and other securities issued by the Company, which right shall be governed by the provisions of applicable law and may be waived by the general meeting of shareholders in accordance with applicable law.

At the time of capital increase, the shares to be subscribed in cash must be paid up of at least one fourth at the time of the subscription. The balance of payments shall be paid within a maximum of five years, as of the day on which the capital increase shall have become effective, in one or several times, at the times and in the proportions determined by the Board. The calling up of capital contributions shall be communicated to the shareholders by registered letter at least fifteen days prior to the date fixed for each payment.

The subscription price for shares issued for cash pursuant to capital increases may be paid up, in whole or in part, by way of set-off against liquidated and due claims held by the subscriber against the Company.

The Board may authorize at any time the shareholders to prepay the amount of their shares which are not yet called up.

Should the shareholders not proceed with the payments on the set dates, the interest of the amount of these payments shall run by law for each day of delay at a rate of 12% per annum as of the date of payment fixed in the registered letter above mentioned and without a claim or formal notice being necessary.

If within the period fixed at the time of calling up the capital, some shares have not been paid up from the required payments, the Company may, one month after a special formal individual notice notified to the defaulting shareholder - by registered letter or extra judicial writ – offer, to the other shareholders, the shares to be paid up by registered letter sent to each of them.

To implement this preemptive right, the Board shall have, upon the expiration of the fixed time limit, at the time of the calling up of capital, to offer to the shareholders the shares to be paid up by registered letter sent to each of them.

If several shareholders are purchasers, the shares shall be distributed among them in proportion to their rights in the Company.

Articles of Association – June 26, 2026 - English translation for information purposes only 3/15

If such a proportional distribution is not possible, the remaining shares shall be distributed through draw lots.

If within a time limit of one month further to the shareholders having been warned, some shares are still not paid up, the Company may sale them within the terms and conditions stipulated under article R.228-24 of the French Commercial Code.

The sale of the shares shall be carried in public auctions by a stock broker or a public notary. For such purpose, the Company shall publish in a legal gazette within the department of the registered offices, at least thirty days further to the notice scheduled in the previous paragraph, a notice concerning the sale of the shares.
