The maximum par value amount of share capital increases that may be performed, immediately or in the future, pursuant to the 20th resolution shall be deducted from the ceiling set in the 24th resolution presented to this Shareholders" Meeting.

These ceilings take into consideration the additional number of securities to be created under the conditions provided for in Article L. 225-135-1 of the French Commercial Code, should you adopt the 21st resolution.

The Board of Directors is responsible for preparing a report in accordance with Articles R. 225-113et seq. of the French Commercial Code. Our role is to express an opinion on the fair presentation of the quantified information extracted from the accounts, on the proposed cancellation of preferential subscription rights, and on certain other information concerning these transactions, as presented in this report.

We performed the procedures that we considered necessary in accordance with the professional guidelines of the French National Institute of Statutory Auditors (Compagnie Nationale des Commissaires aux Comptes) relating to this

engagement. These procedures consisted in verifying the content of the Board of Directors' report on this transaction

and the terms and conditions governing the determination of the issue price of equity securities to be issued.

Subject to a subsequent review of the terms and conditions of any issues that may be decided, we have no comments on the process for determining the issue price of the future securities presented in the Board of Directors' report in respect of the 18th to 20th resolutions.

Moreover, as this report does not specify the rules for determining the issue price of the equity securities to be issued pursuant to the 17th and 22nd resolutions, we cannot express an opinion on the selected items used to calculate this issue price.

As the final terms and conditions of the issues have not been determined, we do not express an opinion thereon and, as such, on the proposed cancellation of preferential subscription rights on which you are asked to decide in the 18th to 20th resolutions.

In accordance with Article R.225-116 of the French Commercial Code, we will issue a supplementary report, if necessary, should this delegation be used by your Board of Directors, in the event of issues of marketable securities which are equity securities granting access to other equity securities or granting entitlement to the grant of debt
