The Conversion Shares shall be issued in bearer form and shall be transferred by the Account Holder to the Subscriber’s custodian CREST account within three (3) Trading Days following the Conversion Date. The Account Holder shall liaise with the custodian of the Subscriber to ensure prompt delivery. The Issuer shall be liable for, and shall indemnify the Subscriber against, any losses resulting from a delay over the aforementioned three (3) Trading Days.
If the Issuer has elected for a Conversion Cash Payment, the Issuer should send a written notice to the Subscriber specifying this election within 24 hours from the receipt of the Conversion Notice, and payment shall be made to the Subscriber’s designated account within seven (7) Trading Days as from this notification.
If the Issuer has not elected for the Conversion Cash Payment, the number of Conversion Shares issued by the Issuer to the Subscriber upon conversion of one or several Bonds in accordance with this Article 3.1.2 will be calculated as the Conversion Amount divided by the Conversion Price.
If the issuance of Conversion Shares would result in the issuance of a fraction of a Share, the Issuer shall round such fraction of a Share down to the nearest whole Share.
It is specified that, whether for the purposes of calculating the number of Conversion Shares or the Conversion Cash Payment, the Conversion Price may not fall below nominal value of the Shares (which is today EUR 0.20). Therefore, in the event the Conversion Price pursuant to the above formula falls below the nominal value of the Shares, the Subscriber may agree that the Conversion Price be set at nominal value, provided that the Subscriber is paid a contractual penalty payment in cash or, at the Issuer’s discretion, in Shares, compensating for the difference between the Conversion Price pursuant to the above formula and nominal value of the Shares.
Any payment to the Subscriber made by the Issuer in accordance with this Article 3.1.2 shall be made by the Issuer to the Subscriber in cash, by wire transfer to a bank account notified by the Subscriber to the Issuer, in immediately available, freely transferable funds in Euros.
The Subscriber undertakes, unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Issuer not to sell per day a number of Conversion Shares greater than 20% of the transaction volume of such day.
	3.1.3
	The Subscriber acknowledges that from time to time, based on specific circumstances linked to the Issuer’s fund raising and subject to a maximum of four (4) requests per year, the Issuer shall be entitled to request the suspension of some conversions for up to a maximum of 40 Trading Days. In such case, the Issuer is to pay an equivalent financial rate of 10% per annum over the period starting on the date of the Issuer’s request until the date conversions can resume (as indicated in the Issuer’s request).

	3.1.4
