THRESHOLD CROSSING
Without prejudice to the provisions of law, our bylaws provide that any individual or entity, acting alone or in concert, who becomes, directly or indirectly, the owner of 0.5% or any multiple thereof, of the total number of shares or voting rights of the Company must notify the Company within four trading days of exceeding the threshold by registered/certified letter with return receipt requested, by fax, or by telex indicating whether the shares or voting rights are or are not held for the account of, under the control of, or in concert with other legal entities or individuals.
This duty applies under the same conditions when the equity holding or the voting rights fall below the thresholds mentioned above.
In the event of a failure to comply with the duty to declare provided for above, the shareholder could, under the conditions and within the limits defined by the provisions of the statutory law and regulations in force, be deprived of the right to vote pertaining to the shares exceeding the threshold at issue. This penalty is independent of such penalty as may be decided by judicial decision upon application by the chairman, by one shareholder, or by the Securities Exchange Transactions Authority.
For the purpose of determining the thresholds referred to above, the shares or voting rights held indirectly and the shares or voting rights analogous to the shares or voting rights possessed, as defined by the provisions of Articles L.233-7, et seq., of the Commercial Code shall also be taken into account.
The declarant must certify that the declaration made does include all of the securities giving immediate or future access to the capital of the company that are held or possessed within the meaning of the preceding paragraph. The Declarant must also indicate the date or dates of acquisition.
Mutual fund management firms shall be required to perform such reporting for the entirety of the voting rights pertaining to the shares of the company held by the funds that they manage.
